Thinking caps and walking shoes on

March 17th is St Patrick's Day. We wear a piece of  shamrock, but it is a plant you can only find in Ireland. It's not clover (trébol). Then  a wee drink to drown your sorrows after a hard day's work. 

And if you like, you can come with us.

Exercise all your muscles !

Writing Challenge                Tuesday 15th March

On Raquel's suggestion  you write a story, fact or fiction, just a page at home  and  come and read it out. Our tribute to St Patrick and Oscar Wilde himself. We did it last year and it was very memorable. Each person's uniqueness inspired an eclectic range of topics . José says we should make them into a little booklet.

Walk                                     Sunday 20th March

29th February

 Tradition has it that in a leap year women may propose to their men.

On another note there is a call  for the 29th February to be declared a holiday-

Happy 29th February!

Blue in the face

Perder el tiempo hablando/diciendo/ pidiendo/ gritando….

You can tell her until you are blue in the face.

And to illustrate, here is a Disney classic.

The big bad wolf huffed and puffed  until he was blue in the face.

Women's strength...this week's topic of conversation

A Spanish writer suggests that women can make

the world a better place for these reasons...

Women communicate rather than impose,

connect rather than control.

ask rather than order,

co operate rather  than compete,

make relationships rather than rules.

You can come and air your opinions on this topic

Starry meadows

 Maribel writes about Canencia  in Guadarrama

I love these starry meadows because they come into bloom after the long hot summers.

If you are there at about 10.30 a.m. you can see the meadows sparkling in the sunlight because they are covered with dewdrops at that exact moment.

After 10:30 the sun’s position changes and you would have to wait until the following morning.

So make a note of the date:

September and October

La sierra de Madrid

Canencia’s bejewelled meadows

To preserve or not to preserve?

La Pagoda de Miguel Fisac. This beautiful Madrid building was pulled down.

What do you think?

Madrid City Council and Wanda Group are in negotiatons about the future of Edificio España.

Is Spain losing foreign investments that can create wealth and jobs?

This is the topic Luis has proposed for this week.
