January in the sun
It's January but it feels like spring. The sun shines, the sky is a stark blue and I spend my afternoons on a bench in the park studying. Fan-tas-tic! All around on the street are kids playing with the gifts the Reyes Magos brought them last Saturday: wiggly wobbly kids trying to keep their balance on brand new red bikes, equally wiggly wobbly kids trying to get ahead with their new rollerskates and helmets, girls pushing miniature carts with miniature plastic babies in them, and many, many noisy remote control cars zzzzzumming from one side of the park to another, scaring the cats and dogs that normally peacefully share the little park near my apartment. About cats: there's a pair of cats in this park, one black and one perfectly white; they're the cutest couple of cats, totally designer style!
Other than that, not much news, I've been alone in the apartment this weekend as the boys were still home for the Christmas holiday. It's a little lonely not to be able to talk to anyone in more than 24 hours, except for the bakery shop lady, but that doesn't count as a conversation. So I was glad when Lena called me yesterday to have a drink with her and her boyfriend. We had a good time tasting belgian and german beers at Café de las Letras, and trying to teach me german. I think I'm going to learn german next year. At least now I know some nice germans to learn it for. :-) I did go to bed scandalously late for the time of year... So I shall go to bed early now, in compensation. And also because tomorrow I have class again at 8:30. Sigh. And that on my birthday... By the way, the telephone number that I posted before was wrong. I'm not going to post the right number for security reasons. You may just e-mail me. :-p
By the way, the cat on the picture is not the park cat. It's just a nice picture I found on the internet which I thought was illustrative to the bit in which I write about cats. The picture is from the blog of Michiel Hendrycks , a belgian photographer. Check it out: http://standaard.typepad.com/michiel/

Oi queridissima,
A Adriana me reacordou para a prazer de ler teu blog. Só na terceira tentativa consegui entrar nele. Adorei ler esta entrada, mas não vou ter tempo de ler tudo pois tenho que me preparar para ir para a primeira reunião do ano do Wereldwinkel. Pena que você não colocou nenhum comentário ou foto da nossa estadia aí em Valencia. Que tal fazer um 'by the way'?
Beijos e FELIZ ANIVERSÁRIO.
Elemadre
