The books
Don't forget to go by La Biblioteca Central metro Baunatal,San Sebastián de los Reyes before buying this year's text books because you might be able to pick up the course books you need for this year.
You can leave last year's text books for others to use rather than throw them away.
The Romance
Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroegerp,
the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married.
Their relationship has been so quiet
that few even knew they were dating. Now, after a six-month courtship they have anounced their engagement.
Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger, 37, first got together in February to co-write a song for Lavigne's upcoming fifth studio album.
On Aug. 8, Kroeger popped the question, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond sparkler.

IT'S ART
The 'Documenta' in Kassel,
The
Joan Miró museum in Mallorca.
Salvador
Dalí's museum in Figueras.
All
amazing but
The
A.I.R. Museum in San Sebastian de los Reyes makes an impact such as
when you visit
El
Parque Guëll in Barcelona for the first time.
Intriguingly
the name A.I.R. Museum comes from Artist in Residence, a way of life
for artists who live and exhibit from their lofts in New York but this artist turned the complete
loft into a 'walk in' work of art but not one piece is for sale.
Walk
in and you are engulfed in Art. Everywhere you look is a piece more
intricate than the last and the whole is a kaleidoscope of colour
peppered with the philosophy of the Master of Ceremonies who
generously and at no cost explains all you are seeing - This is the
Artist himself, Nacho Paswal.
As
he was not in residence he changed the name of the museum to el indio Mocaqua. Nacho is bursting with stories to tell, experiences to share
and a creative spirit that needed to soar to the heights of his
accomplishment. And he accomplished it all.
But he had to close the door and walk away in frustration.
This
is not Barcelona.
Where
is it exactly ?
La
Avenida del Cerro del Aguila with a grandstand view of San
Sebastian de los Reyes football stadium.
English
football supporters sing this song.
WALK
ON
WALK
ON
WITH
HOPE IN YOUR HEART
FOR
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE
This
is not football.

The Arts
Alcobendas Art Centre kindly keeps us informed about upcoming exhibitions.
This one starts in September and our next walk could be through the city.
Modern Art certainly gives you something to talk about.
Viveiro, Feria de Artesanía
If you are in Galicia this summer, visit the Popular Craft Fair in Viveiro.
José has a stand there from the 10th to the19th August and you will be able to see the complete collection of his jewellery.

Moucho bracelet, the piece which was was on display in Burgos along with nineteen other selected pieces of popular craft, didn't win the prize but José is happy at the good exposure.
Who knows, it may be for sale.
Rhapsody in blue is the piece he presented in El Certamen de Antonio Fraguas in A Coruña.
We have no news yet.
'No news is good news,' we always say.
This comes from Tourist Information Viveiro
The local holiday is celebrated on August 15 in Saint Roque and the Virgin´s honour. There are events such as the popular craft trade fair, the ascent and the pilgrimage to the mountain of Saint Roque ( it takes place on August 16 in the small hours ) the day of the enormous heads in the Nogueiras, the cycle race, the championship of trap shooting.
Sounds like lots of fun.
José is our vice president and founding member of ASEDOW . He doesn't speak much English, he doesn't even like it but he does believe English language learning could be more accessible and his help and artistic talent have been invaluable.

A head full of stories
Maeve Binchy was a wonderful story teller which is a great gift that is well appreciated in Ireland.
She eased the way into reading for young dreamy girls who devoured her stories and developed a love for reading and with time, for Literature.
You will see her books at all the airport lounges.
Buy one and you will learn a lot about contemporary Ireland and England.
She has left this world and we raise our hats to her.
(This Irish writer's name is pronounced /meɪv/)
