A day at the races

Spring walk with Michael Bublé

This morning I got ready to go for a walk. I had planned to walk to the city center from my house. I’ve done it before but wanted to try a different route. As I didn’t want to go by myself, I asked Michael Bublé to accompany me but he didn’t reply. Silence gives consent, so I put on my walking shoes, filled my water bottle, grabbed Michael, and left for a two-hour walk in good company.

Am I too demanding?

I think that I have complained more since I moved to Spain than in all my years before that. You could think that my standards or expectancies are too high. But, then again, is it unreasonable to expect others to know their job and to perform their professional duties correctly, decently and respectfully?

Today should be a day of joy in Galicia. It is the day of its Patron Saint, Santiago.

Fireworks in Bouzas

These last few days, Bouzas (a parish in Vigo, in the northwest of Spain) celebrates its main religious festivity. The streets are decorated with lights, the fair is installed, and the fireworks are prepared. As I love fireworks, and these are the best ones of Vigo, I try to see them every year.

Vamos a la playa

Finally! I have been so looking forward to it. No, actually, I have been yearning for it! For a while now. These last couple of weeks have been hectic, overstuffed with work and things to do, and too warm for my liking. So, I had my mind set on the beach. Not necessarily on a sunny day, no, preferably with a cool climate and maybe some clouds. Well. I got what I wanted!
