Managed a lil’ doodle which I gave him after. Couldn’t avoid fangirling as I starstruck easily.

Amazing talk. Learnt a lot! Chris Morris was hilarious!

Also learnt about Sarah Wyn-Williams and will be seeking out her forbidden book, Careless People (which sold out before I managed to get mine)

I guess I was on a sort of "moment"... cause I was like "since I'm here..." and designed my new biz cards with my new logo and anchovies, which a friend designed for me.

"Moment": Stressed/ torn between my non-classes to-do list and my very full calendar (yay).

The complexities of freelancing.

Aaaaaand completed!

Studying used to be a source of traumatic struggle... and now I approach it eagerly and seeking excellence.

Context, therapy, choice have made such a difference!

“Sin orden ni concierto”, “without order nor concert” (think of “disconcerted”) means chaotically, unplanned.

Not in this case, but it usually has a pejorative vibe.

Destroza Este Diario de Keri Smith.

My mum gave me this book as a gift, and not only it is very cool, but also full of imperatives, for those who’d like to learn in a super fun way.

I’ll share a few pages to show the vibe.

Destroza = Destroy

One of my students left me this lovely review and I am buzzing.

This case is very dear to me, as he initially was considering refusing a gifted lesson, and shortly after having it, and continuing, decided to do two a week. His progress has been amazing to watch so far.

I <3 my job

Yo hoy llevo puesto mi jerséi favorito.

Me gusta tanto que, por si acaso, busqué otro en Vinted para tener dos.

The web changes continue.

Last area to get some luuurve has been the “online” where I will be collecting games and other activities.

I have installed the new Question of the Day wheel (powered by puzzel.org).

It deserves a welcome spin:

Spanish public tv, RTVE, was threatened with a sanction if it mentioned Gaza’s genocide.

Their response? That message.

You can watch Spanish tv for free by making an account in www.rtve.es/play/

Brave!!!

I get to catsit this gorgeous flooff in a really cool flat. My SO comes to visit as much as he can and I have been blessed with amazing students who make my job something to look forward to.

Oh wow, look at those! Love the yellow spots!

In Europe, although the females are quite similar, the males’ patterns are slightly different, their dark spots are under their beaks, like a beard.

Post-work practice.

I recorded something for a student to practise after our lesson, and I thought I’d record some of my drills.

This is one of my favourite songs, Sueño con Serpientes by Silvio Rodríguez.

This has broken my heart a little bit.

It’s happens often that I see sun outside the window when I work and it rains when I am free. Even in Spain.

But I got to walk with soft, glimmery rain on my face and it was nice.

I just desperately need some sun rays on me for a few days.

Huh, the very first lesson I made was called “¿Dónde está el ratón?”, because I had made a mouse-related blackboard at home for my SO, inspired by a small mouse toy on the microwave.

Pero, ratones nevertheless.

Here’s the lesson if you want to check it out:

🇪🇸 Como no hace tiempo para patinar aún, hemos sacado el slackline.

🇬🇧 Since the weather is not fit for rollerskating yet, we’ve taken the slackline out.

I had 16 donated lessons available in the “lesson fund” that have been sitting there for a while, so I have turned them into coupons so I can bring them to a local organisation that redistributes donations locally.

That brings the count to 0, for now.

A lot of my students have cats who tend to make appearances during our lessons.

This is Charolais, making her very slow approach towards my student’s lap.
