China in the mist of pollution
Finally some news! He got there just fine but says it is quite an experience just to get there. Also the pollution is as bad as he thought it would be and one of his colleagues has already had a bit of food poisoning. The crazy man tried some 1000 years old eggs for breakfast, a fine delicacy in...

The Sleeping Shelf
It took them months, 9 months actually, but I finally got the news. They like it, thought the quality of the text and of the illustrations was very good and full of imagination and creativity, but... Because of these difficult times, and cut in their budget, they have to reject it. I'm taking about...

Pollution in Guiyang, China and a meeting
That's it: my Mann is leaving tomorrow morning for China ( Guiyang) and it's the first time I see him in such a state before a trip or an international meeting: He does not want to go! Why?

The scent of you...

Those who have ever been to Australia know what I mean about the Australian smell: there's nothing like it. It is probably...

Freeman News!
I was finally there when he came this afternoon, saying that he'd miss me and it sure would be nice to have a woman like me around the house! He also noticed the works that we have done around the yards, the flower beds and the trees (they were trimmed of their dead branches so as to make the land...

The Neckar Valley in Germany
That's it: I finally started the web-pages about the beautiful place where I lived for more than year in Germany. It's a little known area of Europe call the Neckar Valley and it is simply magnificent. I hope to be able to express the beauty of the place and the charm of its many towns and villages....

Procrastination...That's the second name of Son! We, my Mann and I, had it all planed: I take the day off, he finishes early, comes to pick me up, go to pick up Son at school and drive to the theatre just on time for the show. But Son happens. I'll do it mom, he said. Don't worry, he said. I'd...

Like back in Spain!
We've been hard working today! The three of us, digging, moving bricks, placing bricks, more digging... After all these many years looking at the path coming towards the front porch getting more and more overgrowned with dandelions, and weeds and grass, I finally decided to start digging them out...
