Preface I'm going to introduce you a trio of young people who name themshelves The Three Investigators. I didn't expect to have to do it. Honestly, I thought to have moved them away of my life. But ... Well, I prefer don't give details. I'll say that I promised to introduce them and I'm doing that. Whatever who had read their first novel, just know the story. He could skip this lines and go into the story, what I recomend with all my heart. Well then, for someone who didn't enjoy the lovely adventures of the above mentioned book, I'll do my duty. There will be new episodes. Don't worry.

Resume writting I think it will be a good idea to restart writting Notebook entries in order to improve my English skills. I hope both writting and speaking skills are going to improve. There are someone who could correct my texts? I'd be really happy. Kind regards!

The last email received Good afternoon, Manuel. Your friend David has been in our offices this morning. He told me that to study the Transport course was for specialize in a specific area because Economics Degree seemed too much general to him. It’s too true that he didn’t finalize the course that he began and he studied the CAP course. He has given me the impression that he don’t see many employment oportunities, so he is studying some things, trying … but without a clear way. We have materialized that now there is no need to fill administrative officer positions. What more immediate could have is to do practices. He will be really happy if he could do practices at one of our two companies in that sector. I told him we are going to see our needs and requests about trainees at the different workplaces. I’m going to report you about if finally there was any opportunity of he starts whith us. Best regards,

Things to do If I had last year to live over again, I’d go at gym three times each week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And I’d take more seriously a lesion I have in my left foot. I got hurt during my last holiday in the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James). It was last year, in June. Near a year ago. Then I thought it will get better only with de pass of the time. But after three months I must go to the physiotherapist because the pain is increased. He told me that de lesion was get chronic. He massaged my foot and told me to do exercises. Two months after, in December, I changed to another Physio because de situation isn’t getting better. Nowadays I’m preparing a new journey by foot. But I’m worry because I think the problem isn’t completely solved. There is other thing I would like to do if I have an opportunity: to sail in a big boat. A sail boat, of course. I would like to sail for four or five days. Living day and night in the boat. With a lot of time for read a book or simply to be seeing the sea. A good place to visit could be Cerdeña or Menorca.

Bank for rent It’s a sign of our times. Where a short time ago there was a bank, today there is a dollar shop, a mobile phone shop or a cafeteria. Or, in the worst-case, remains an empty commercial office with an advert to sell or to rent it. It’s enough to go for a stroll to the city centre of my town to run into the reality: a lot of commercial offices that just some years ago were banks, stay today vacant waiting for an business owner who turn on a store or other kind of business. But time is going by and more of them are in the same way. Closed.

To listen is to give A good way to take care of a relationship is to listen. To accept that the other view point, how he understand and satisfy needs, could be different from ours. To make easier the dialogue that allow us coming together, we could ask what the other really wants and talk about it. A conversation where we make clear what each one wants will make more powerful the link. When we talk about our wishes we open the doors to a conversation in which the two parts finish better than they have started. Things have become clearer, we feel liberated and we are more open and more hopeful.

The market or the life Any traveller knows that the best way to know a town is walking his markets, buying at their stands and blending him self into their people. This happen in cities like Madrid or Barcelona. But in the most of the little towns nearby where I live things don't work this way. Their local markets aren't living their best moment. Last year's crisis has hit his economy. And de competition of the warehouse store with low prices and wide timetables, too. Now is not easy to attract customers and there are lots of empty stands.

To travel and to walk After some busy days I'm going to resume writting in English. Today is bank holiday here. It's a cloudy and windy day. But isn't too cool. My wife is travelling with colleagues and a lot of students. She's a teacher. She teaches maths. And their students are teenagers. They have gone to London for five days. I hope she doesn't have many problems. Today she has telefoned me and she looked happy. Things are working well. Meanwhile, I'm thinking about my holiday week in june. Every year I like go to for a week to walk on the Way of Sant Jaques / Camino de Santiago, in the north of Spain. It's a pilgrimage with medieval origin where a lot of people walk hundreds of kilometers just going to Santiago de Compostela. It's really interesting to be a contemporary pilgrim for some days and try to slow down your life. On top of walking, you can meet people from countries around the world. It's a great experience.

italki friends I've got seven friends in italki. I've met them in the last weeks (I'm a recent member). And I'm happy for it. But every day, when I get home after work, I turn on my computer, I start italki and I go to see if someone of them is connected. And the answer is no. None of them is connected. Never. Why? Because there is an important time diference. Or, maybe, because our personal schedules are different. I'm not sure. I know that I can send a message and they will send the answer when they have the time to do it. But I'd like to hold a conversation. So, I'll continue trying it. Thanks for your corrections.
