About this blog

I started this blog after attending a PF seminar for teachers of Spanish in Melbourne. I thought it would be good 1) to catch up with the times and 2) to improve my written English and Spanish. Later on I saw that there were too many blogs in the blog sphere and my contribution was far from remarkable. But I had fun writing it so I kept it going. Languages are my passion. I speak Spanish, Catalan, French and English well, I go by in Portuguese, I mumble some Italian but I understand it well, I have basic German from my university years. There are 34 posts I wrote between 2010 and 2011, none of them is serious. When the cat died the blog did too!



UPDATE 19-April-2012

This blog was my first attempt at blogging back in 2010. I wrote it in English and Spanish mostly as a writing exercise. Cat lovers may like it and people interested in Spanish language and culture may find something of interest here. It is light reading. The blog is now closed.

Sandy, the goddess - Sandy, la diosa 

Sandy passed away on 1 December 2011. Since then I have made several attempts to keep the blog going but I have been unable to do so.  Without her I lost my inspiration.  I can't see the point in continuing with Sandy's blog when she is no longer around. So this is the last post. The blog has 34 posts in all. You are welcome to read them.

 Perdimos a Sandy en diciembre del año pasado después de una breve enfermedad. Tenía 16 años. Con ella se han evaporado la inspiración y las ganas de escribir, así que lo mejor es cerrar el blog y cambiar de rumbo. Este es pues, el último post de El blog de Sandy que escribo. Quedan 34 posts del blog abiertos para quien quiera leerlos.
