Very happy. A paper just out of the oven. It is a piece of work made possible only after many years of thinking about, and looking at, an old problem from multiple perspectives. And with the magical brushstrokes of our artists, Gabriela and Ariadna.

Our beloved teacher in palynology, Michèle Dupré, has left us — a luminous being of knowledge and kindness. May she rest in peace and live on in all of us who learned from her how to walk lightly, rise gently, and fall without a sound.

Just finished the Spanish edition of a book I’d already read in English. Flawless translation. Solid, well-told science—no drama, no nonsense. One of the great minds behind it. Congrats, Tom. (Photo: my old grape knife, harvest-trained in 1970).

Southern rock? More like a blast of blues, soul, metal & symphonic fire.

A 2014 photo at the Biology faculty cafeteria (Murcia), with Encarni Montoya. She started in palynology under my distracted watch… and has long since surpassed me. Brilliant work, always humble, honest, and generous. So proud. Grande, my Encarni.

Ariadna, one of my two artists, gave me this drawing: it brings back my childhood and the bond with Estrellica, a stray dog a friend and I once rescued. It was a tense night—we truly put ourselves at risk, as the city was rounding up dogs to be killed. That night, over 100 were saved.

My godmother is turning 100 this August. She has seen much, according to her too much.

Proud to share a profession with Juanma Rubiales — committed, generous, ego-free, and an outstanding teacher. He’s achieved his dream of becoming a university professor. An honor to have colleagues like him.

I learned to harvest grapes in 1970, aged 8, with my uncle’s hocete. There, I became a man—sweating, aching, talking. In the vineyard, camaraderie mattered more than age or origin. I miss those days, and the lessons learned from the hands of people shaped by the land.

Alsina wrecked Ayuso, president of Madrid, on air the other day—on a non-progressive station, no less. It reminded me of that book on power, impunity, and slow-burn ambition. Our own Henry III might rule Spain soon. Not by votes—by the forces of destiny in the land of the bull. Worth the read.

Cataluña, por ejemplo. No creo que la columna haya quedado obsoleta pues transmite un estado filosófico de un español con amigos en Cataluña, Andalucía, Cantabria, País Vasco, incluso Israel, Ucrania, Rusia, USA,... Termino cayendo en los brazos de Ángel González y su poema más genético-genealógico.
