Celebrating Christmas in the US for the first time in 13 years. My kids decided we had to have a Caga Tió so we are making one to show the cousins

@laiabalcells.bsky.social do you know where you can find a barretina in the US?

Halfway through Christmas cookie baking and a transformer blew and now the house is dark and the cookies are not cooking.

The kids are happy because now we are eating out.

Watching the Tings of paper with my family. My wife, “where did this guy come from?”
Me: “well when Ilavater began to sing and create the world…”
Wife: “never mind, I’ll figure it out.”

My youngest planted and has been growing oak saplings. She has four of them. She is gone on a school trip and there is a starling that keeps uprooting one of them. I chase it off and replant it.
I am currently feuding with a starling.

Madrid, 28 April. The day we gathered around the radio.

What a day. No power or mobile service. Sitting in a parking lot on grocery store wifi like it’s 2001.
Stay calm and safe.

So San Isidro is coming and that means that rosquillas de San Isidro are out in the supermarkets. I am once again reminded that San Isidro was a terrible baker.

This seems odd
Una inversión de extremo riesgo a cambio de un tour por la Casa Blanca y una “cena privada e íntima” con Trump: es lo que ofrecen los emisores de la memecoin $TRUMP, que se disparó un 58% tras el anuncio, aunque la recogida de beneficios enfría la fiebre
Compra la ‘memecoin’ $TRUMP y gana una cena con el presidente: la Casa Blanca calienta la cotización del token
El activo ha llegado a dispararse un 58% tras el anuncio, aunque la recogida de beneficios enfría la fiebre. Desde el sector advierten de que la especulación daña más que ayuda

My goal in life is that, if i ever hang out with a frail 88-year-old man on the last day of his life, people’s first reaction isn’t “what a terrible last day. of course she killed him”

Well the traffic into Madrid was pretty terrible this afternoon. Glad I wasn’t coming from Malaga 😜
