No soy bueno corriendo. Ni parado tampoco. Cada vez que piso a tope el acelerador inmediatamente surge un “¿ya está?” que certifica la victoria de la velocidad sobre el buen hacer. Es decir, puedo correr mucho, incluso demasiado, pero si quiero asegurar el resultado ese no es el camino. En el instituto me pase un […]

De cine.
Los Juegos del Hambre tuvieron lugar con el Enemigo a las Puertas donde los Malditos Bastardos finguian ser “The Monument Men”. La inmensa mina de caliza a cielo abierto de Rüdersdorf, al este de Berlín, ha surtido de materia prima durante decadas a la actualmente abandonada fábrica de cemento que se ha servido desde su […]
A tu ritmo.
One of these Galician friends of mine, who, not being from Bilbao, can even be born in Friburg, used to ask about me with a “where’s the coward, running?” as he knew of my attraction to this, not always so fast, activity. Indeed, running is neither always fast nor civil servants are slow. When I […]
Ante todo mucha calma.
Very long distances sometimes create the best connections. More than 4000 km in a straight line separates Estonia from Spain, from one corner of Europe to the other, yet I have not found any other place on this continent where people pronounce the letter “r” in the same way as they do here in Spain. […]
¿Me echabais de menos?
Here I am again with my challenging communication skills. Already for one month and a half I have been waking up in my new residence, facing the fence of the former “Hospital del Aire” in the west side of Madrid. August has been not so quiet as being in Estonia but the begining of September […]
Even us.
The job in Norway is finished by now for me. In one and a half weeks we managed to transform an empty space, with a fantastic view over the mountains where I was playing last Sunday, into four attached terraced boxes ideal to seat and admire the 81 pieces of white painted wood which screwed […]
Vertical Doctor.
Soon I will go to bed. My last Sunday in Norway has been, still is, a long day. I didn’t want to leave this place without a proper mountain walk. We have been enjoying the sunlight without rain for at least one week. Today the forecast looked more like the one from Malaga. Sun, no […]
Don’t throw stones on your own roof.
You shouldn’t be reading this. A very well known producer of washing powder used the advise of a washing machine repairing technician to convince the possible customers of the marvellous effects for their wallets of avoiding asking for his services by using that calcare free powder which at the same time would produce the opposite […]
Sauna for “tontos”.
Don’t look for this book in any shop. Sauna for dummies should be compulsory reading for anybody outside Estonia who dares to give the step in order to enjoy the pleasure of this hot as hell divinity devise of the nordic countries. Including myself. I plan to create my own one in the south of […]
Isolation.
Our new project brings me back to the times when writing letters was normal. In the south side of Beiar fjord I can’t reach any wave of the ones that allow me to communicate with the rest of the world. Great experience. Difficult to expend ten days reading books, fishing and from time to time […]
