Saturday at the stadium.

Last Saturday we went to the match against the Swedish National Team for classification for the European Championships. Good game and great ambient although I was a little afraid of the consequences of neo-Nazi and radical-left demonstrations outside. After match, we went to have some drinks and fun at the nearby pubs too much jolly so we arrived at home very late (at 9h AM).

Three beautiful goals

Referring to other things, last week was hard at work. I don’t know so much about future considering I finish my contract in a month, so I will have to look for another job or pray to stay here. Somehow or other I wouldn’t mind if I could do another substitution in order to grab some experience in banking because in the long run I have realized it’s quite more interesting than I had been able to think on. Anyway, now I feel easy with my mates and learning many interesting things but who know where my future is.

On the whole: pursuing progression in the sector.

A briefing of the last thirty days.

There’s nothing extraordinary. The job’s the same and my life’s the same. I did a job-interview at Loco’s company although both of us knew my profile didn’t suit his needs. Anyway, it was an opportunity for have a look on Loco’s problem. This consists of he is exhausted putting things in order and trust me: it’s a big thing although I absolutely think he can do it step by step. This was what I said to him the last day we met.

And that day I seized to visit Petra’s. My friend Juan told me about this international 2nd hand bookshop but I couldn’t visit it until the last Wednesday and I took advantage because I bought five books. At Petra’s you can find a big variety of books classified by subject and language so if you’re interested on books in different languages with a very good price, this is your place. There’s another interesting library in Lavapiés (La Librería de Lavapiés at Argumosa, 39) but I haven’t been there yet. I will write something when I visit it.

About new TV-series and films recommendations, I must write about the British historic TV-serie “The Tudors”. It’s about Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys-Meyer), his humiliated wife Katherine of Aragon (Maria Doyle Kennedy), his lovers like Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer), his counsellor Thomas More (Jeremy Northam) and other important historic characters interpreted by very good actors like Sam Neill or Gabriel Anwar and tells the history of that time in a modern and entertaining way. In some way it follows a similar scheme to Rome but less bloody but equally sexual (if you liked the 1st season, don’t miss the 2nd one). In any case, see the trailer beneath.



Enjoy weekend!
