After 10 years on the UK and a lovely English husband (home, job, car, friends, neighbours all also English) here I am still loving al Spanish things (except nosy neighbours) as ever!

I have not changed much: a bit bigger, a bit more discreet, good at queuing, used to say thanks, loving Mark & Spencer’s, eating brown bread for breakfast, having a light lunch and an early dinner but….still with a strong accent, even stronger temper, not carpets on the house and hating fish and chips, English shoes, dark evening, the NHS, the weather, rainy outdoors activities and "very polite” rude people.....we could say I have become SPANGLISH!

So how about If I share with you all a bit my spanglish cooking, what I still find odd, what I still miss and what I have learned to love?

It was supposed to be a sunny day today!

Hi everyone!

I always listen to the news while I have my breakfast at 6am and most days I can't remember anything they talked about by the time I arrive to work but today there were three news that have sticked with me:
  1. Apple has made a fortune during Christmas...apparently everybody has an iphone (me included) and anybody who wants to be somebody has an ipad!
  2. Lots of people in the UK take statins to control their cholesterol....and now they have discovered that once they are old they would be cholesterol free but in exchange they would have dementia, heart conditions and a lot of other awful side effects.
         And last but not least...

     3.  The weather forecast: Cold and frosty 1st thing on the morning but "really" sunny the rest of the day .
    
Well....guess what?
  • My iphone freezes and takes about 5min to make a phone call...
  • I have checked and at least 3 guys on my office take statins!
  • And it is now 1pm and the sun is just starting to come out....taking into account that it would be dark at 4pm I would not call this a "sunny day" more likely a "half-sunny, not too misty three hours break"!
I'll leave you with these thought....while I enjoy the healthy green bean salad I brought for lunch today (lo que yo daria por un tintito y una bolsa de patatas fritas en la plaza del Salvador..."instead")!!!!

Bye for now,
Maria

    A ver girl si lo consigo, no se yo....
    Lo que si se que no se que daría por estar en mi casa en mi sofalín viendo o no viendo una novelita....ja ja ja Claro que la opción del paseito por el Salvador y la tapa, el tinto o el cafelito tampoco es mala opción.
    Ojú como me cuesta el inglés, que lenta leyendo.
    Besos
