All these days that just came and went

...little did I know that they were life itself (Stig Johansson, Swedish writer)*
These words seem to ring in my ears quite often these days. Days just come...and they pass...and I get up...get the kids to school...go to pilates...go to Mercadona...prepare dinner...clean the house...but there are no... results in the end of the day. Or of the year. Maybe except a clean house and happy family. Which is not bad. It's just...not enough. I need something more! Even if I don't consider myself as particularly damaged by the famous protestant work-ethics (mark the use of the word "damaged"), I have found that slow Spanish life is OK for a while but then....I need something to do.
So - while I'm finishing my curriculum in Spanish, trying to find my ways in converting myself into a structured freelance writer (a challenge!) and giving some lessons in Norwegian using Skype - - - I've also decided to start blogging. First of all to give family and friends a chance to see what I'm really up to, and if someone else find it interesting as well - perfecto!
That's all for now. I will continue doing research for my article on the Spanish belief in "centro bilingüe" - how teaching English to children ultimately will solve the crisis and save the next generation. (!)
