Another busy weekend

I can can see Christmas is coming because my usually already rather busy social agenda is about to burst. Last two weekends were already intense (one in Belgium, visiting good old friends, and last one with some several get-togethers, a dancing jam, a birthday party, even helping in the recording of a short film!!).

This Thursday I already had to choose between Pub Quiz and the Christmas dinner of the Lindy Hop people from the Orfeo de Gracia.

Friday evening was devoted to a Goblin Birthday celebration, with a horror dinner show at the Posada Maldita and a drawing contest.

Saturday things got hectic: laundry in the morning, quick lunch and then, in quick succession the presentation of a new (and free) Scientific Divulgation newspaper, Satelite, meeting an old friend to go to the cinema ("Cell 211") and to discuss the life of exilee Engineers, and finally another show dinner, cabaret this time, at KYVIC.

Today, Sunday, after sleeping (finally) 7h, the day has started with Lindy Hop dancing at the Placa de la Sedeta, and after having a late lunch, resting a bit and writing this entry, cinema again ("New York, I love you").

As I like to say, to be able to work hard you need to play (or party) hard as well!!

MacCurdy Dinner at Corpus Christi College

3rd Vietnamese Dinner

Still planning to go to Vietnam some time (the sooner the better), Vietnamese (or just Asian) dinners are still on.

Maria pars chez les bretons!!

While some people settle back in Barcelona, others leave Barcelona to go and live among the French in the city of lights, royal palaces and gardens and, of course, music!! (Paris reputedly having more Jazz Caves than NYC)

Have lots of fun!! (and lots of patience with 'greves', 'fonctionaires', and the interaction of the two)

Bon courage, et amuse-toi bien, Maria!!
