August in Spain Hi everybody! I've been thinking about what issue to write about in this notebook. After a while, I have had an idea when I looked through my window. There is nobody in the street, it's really hot, about 39 degrees celsius and all the shops are closed. Oh, no! I remember now! It's August! It's Spain! I don't know why we, Spanish people are so different from the rest of European people in this case. Perhaps you may correct me but I'm sure that in other countries, August does not mean that all the services must be closed. In fact, there are people, nurses, policemen, doctors who have to work, don't they? So, all of them need to do the same life as in the rest of the year. So here I am, I have no greengroceries to buy vegetables or butcheries to find some meat or dry cleaner's to get my clothes clean. But you will not be able to find a place on the beach!!!
