August: a month for resting ...

It´s been a while since I last posted anything.

August is the month for holidays, when the school activity is reduced to a minimum.
It’s a time for new projects, new activities, new people, new places, new commitments, new …

The computer is left aside… It deserves some rest too…

Old friends and relatives come on visit. The house is full of people. Meals are long and cheerful. Outside temperatures are high (around 38 degrees). Forest fires are consuming our precious natural landscapes. The best places to be are: near the sea, near a river, a pool or under a tree. It feels good to escape the heat. A good book is mandatory.

Moreover, a festival happened around me, which demanded much work and commitment. It took three days, but the preparation took much longer. I volunteered to help at the bar and at the restaurant. When it finished, much work was needed again.

School starts in September, so I have to size the days which are left…

Travelling is a good option ...

Have fun!
