We should all be feminists. 8th March International Women's Day

Last August I was coming back by train  from A Coruña when I met a dark skinned man in his early thirties. I  spent the really short time of the journey (less than an hour)   reading  Purple Hibiscus  by the African writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.  I was so much into my reading that I didn't pay much attention to the person next to me. It was only when my stop was announced that I closed my book and  he then said, looking alternatively to my book and to me, that we were reading books by the same author, which was certainly a weird coincidence. So he showed me the book you have below adding that it  had been  recommended by  his girlfriend. He had time to mention that  he was enjoying it as much as he had his "Way to Santiago". I felt sorry I hadnd't stopped reading before and  had a good chat with that man. But at least I thought I had a new book to read. 

During the last week I heard this book mentioned in several radio  programmes  so I think today it is the day to post about it.

You can  also listen to her in the Tedx Talk which was the origin of the short book shown above..

The Lákazans- My Darling

This is a band from Boiro ( A Coruña). Some of you know the place since it is the small town where the Olloboi festival takes place.

My darling is one of the songs from their last work "Sandwina". I find it really touching. I love her voice and the video as well.

ANATOMY OF A SCENE. BLACK PANTHER. BACH

BLACK PANTHER

A film you may like. Lady Bird. BACH

Lady Bird : Saoirse Ronan, a young actor with that fierce intensity, is a work of art in the film, a girl who knows both her strengths and her limitations. She has an Oscar nomination among the film’s five.

On the precipice of adulthood, Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) does what any teenager would do: she lives by her emotions, is constantly searching for the cool people to be friends with, and tends to fall in love rather quickly. All the while, Lady Bird and her mom (Laurie Metcalf) are fighting regularly -- about money and nearly everything else. As she  can't wait to get out of her hometown, she  cooks up a drastic plan to to go to a sophisticated college on the East Coast. She will finaly realize that home is where the heart is.

A story told throughout her senior year of high school, Lady Bird is all about trying to fly, and the mistakes we make during each attempt.

My 1st ESO A students say what they usually have for lunch

We are leaning how to talk about meals and food. Some of my students from 1 ESO A have answered the question: What do you usually have for lunch?

I think they are great! Some may not sound very fluent but I think they were just nervous. We have to work on pronunciation with words like "chocolate", "fruit", "vegetables", "ribs" and try to soften "have" "for" in some cases but very proud of you!!!

Well done!!!

That would have been a great job for me!

It doesn’t mean I am not happy being a teacher but when I read about this guy, man, I thought ... this should be me. I do that all the time, for me, family, friends, students.  I don’t have the time to travel that often now  but as soon as I retire I will be travelling the world.
