The advantages of Germany
One thing about the germans. They like their holidays. In particular their national ones. Yes, yesterday was mayday, and just for a turn-up for the books we started getting some summer weather as well. 25 degrees, not to put a too finer point on it. Just out of curiosity you might like to see what the weather was like in Spain at this time. So we (Mavi, Marilo and myself) decided to take our books and papers outside onto the grass and do our revision in the sun. Apart from the obligatory chatting that goes on in such situations, the work was going on okay until we stopped for lunch. Sandwiches stacked high with lettuce, tomato, brie, ham made for a very picnicy atmosphere. The only thing missing was the ice cubes to go in the drinks (that reminds me, must go and buy some). After that, and what with all the shops being closed, I cycled off to get us our desserts - cornettos. On my return the weather started to change a bit, first of all turning a bit windy and then the sun disappearing for a bit. Well, the most part of the day was excellent anyway.

World News
Looking through the BBC website news section, I happened across some information about the protests that were going on throughout the world on mayday. Did you see anything? Were you involved? If not, why not? Apparently there were clashes in London, Berlin, Melbourne, and even Zimbabwe. And to think that there I was blissfully ignorent of all this whilst eating my sandwiches. Talking about sandwiches, do you know where the name derives from? Well you better check here then.

The "email" page isn't yet working properly, please be patient.
If anyone from Physics or Chemistry is interested in joining a class on "Physical Aspects of Molecular Gastronomie" send an email to the usual address and the details will be provided.
Just randomly choosing a search for the word "loco" (meaning mad or strange in spanish) came across the following website. Enjoy.

Well that's about it. Must get on and translate a text about a chilean film from german into spanish. Sounds easy, doesn't it !?!
