In English Manana means Morning or tomorrow morning

Not quite - in Castilian "Mañana" (the tilde accent is imprtant because it makes the word "manyana" rather than "manana") means BOTH Morning and Tomorrow.

So to say "Tomorrow morning" you would say "Mañana por la mañana" or literally, tomorrow in the morning.

The construct is similar in other Spanish dialects and Portuguese, but in the latter there is a slight distinction as Morning is "manhã" (pronounced "manya") and tomorrow is "amanhã" (which is actually a contraction of "a manhã" with the definite article, which makes it "the morning"). So Tommorow morning is "amanhã de manhã", whereas Saturday morning would be "sábado de manhã"

But then, like "Mañana" in Spanish dialects, Portuguese has another much used expression to delay or defer things - "Deixe lá"... which means "leave it there", or "let it go" or "forget it"......

So deixe lá........

We do all understand how life can get in the way. I have not idea what the personal matters are and have no interest in knowing. But I do hope they are sorted soon especially the family issue. Family things can escalate and end up causing bad feelings at time. Hope it is not that sort of family thing. Just take as long as you need to sort everything out. And make sure to have some me time so you do not burn out

Is it unreasonable to ask for an update?

No, Richard might still have problems that need dealing with in his personal life but he needs to pop in and say something even if not able to sort Kelkoo for a while

Made some progress this weekend. Not long, hopefully

thanks for update, Richard, that is all we really need but nothing from you is frustrating

Any more progress?
