Easter week

Hello english friends!!!

I'm happy because the Easter week is next, the next Sunday until the following Sunday.
These are very fantastic days in Seville. I hope the weather was good, without hot and without rain.
It's fantastic because you can see a lot of art in the streets without you need to go to museum.
The streets are clean and there are some windows that put red flags on it.
It's very excitant to see how the "pasos" walk along the streets and how they turn the corners.
I think it's art.
The smell is very singular because it's a mix of flowers and incense.
The people are dressed very well,smart. The men generally are with suit jackets and ties. The women are with elegants dress and the children are dressed with formal dress .
It's tradition that everybody wear some new clothes and sometimes it's a problem because if your shoes are new they can hurt you.

Normally the family go together to see the "pasos" and they enjoy all the day.

The mothers are an important person in this time because they prepare everything at home. They iron the clothes, cook "torrijas" and another typical food and they are awabe of everything . If your child is a " nazareno" you have more work because you have to prepare the typical clothes ,buy the candies and go all the time with him because he can need water, food, more candies or maybe he can be tired.

So, I like it very much also I have more work than another person but I think that my child is the most "nazareno" in the world.

I can dance anywhere and anytime. I was living in Brazil for two years and there I was dancing Spanish music, specifically gypsy dance because I delivered a gypsy music tape of my father in “La casa de España en Porto Alegre”.

Finally I remember to all people that payday is today althought I don´t agree with Karen. I am thinking that Marijo an me are working as secretaries and we have to pay less money. Still Karen can invite us to GIN FIZZ not GIN and tape water.



That´s all folks.

We´ll see in the news of the british broadcasting corporation

Mariajosé rewrites Eliseo´s story

Hi Everybody!!
Karen told me if I could write again Eliseo´s text with the corrections she made, so I´m going to trying it:


I was angry because Karen and Marijo went to the cinema and they didn´t let me know. I really wanted to watch a subtitled film but I didn´t, so I´m really disappointed. Eliseo pulled a long face when he knnew that those wonderful women had gone to the cinema without him.

It doesn´t matter, I´ve seen the film "The child in the striped pyjamas" several times. I´d rather go to the cinema. I also prefer to go on my own because the girls are great chatterboxes!! Although I´ll no doubt go altogether soon.
Marijo had not heard about the film "The King´s speech", me neither. They thought Eliseo is very clumsy and he could spoil their secret plan.

Last Wednesday, Marijo was in the corner although the Bar is on the corner. I could hear her with my own ears. The way she speaks English sets my hair on edge. (Is it really so horrible?). She has a very cool head.

Today, the eighteenth March, Pepe was extra late as he always has affairs to deal with and sort out. He even turned a deaf ear when spoke about the breakfast fine. Even though it seems unreal, he is improving in his English amazingly!! He is always thinking about business. He´d like to sign an exclusive contract with "Pablo de Olavide University". When he becomes rich and go out from "ropero", he´ll be more generous and will travel all over the world. He might even invite us to make a trip to Florence, the most elegant city in the world. Don´t we wish?

As for Carmen, she is the busy nurse, she is always answering calls and saving lives, she lives in a happy world. She gets a pat on the back from everyone for doing such a good job!! She likes to give a helping hand to the poorly people. Purple suits her down to the ground and I suggest she makes a purple gypsy dress with a little bag around the leg. (I hope Carmen ignore it)

And now Miriam, well, she is always changing her look. She was an unruly girl, but now, she is a very sensible person (more o less, this is what I think he meant). I tell her: Relax! Let your hair down for a change!. I think the change must be for blue not for redish. She certainly brings a breath of fresh air to a stuffy atmosphere!! In the long run, she´ll live in a SPA full of Bach´s flowers. (May I go with her??)

Last Wednesday our teacher was having an argument with another mother, heatedly discussing some sort of matter with her. Two of a kind she very quiet and relaxed versus Karen with boiling blood running through her Scottish veins. (This part is very hard to understand for me). I don´t agree with you. That can´t be true! You´re pulling my leg...You always criticize me behind my back.
In the Bar, Pepe and Marijo were very angry. Marijo had many things to do and Pepe was losing a lot of business (because he´s learning English for his business). Miriam was relaxed thinking about her new look.
Hence, this Friday, Karen was very sorry and wanted to invite us to a complete English breakfast, not. We had to make do with toast and tomatoes which is better anyway. So, Karen said: It´s my shout. Even though it doesn´t seem real I´m innocent and I´m going to buy a ticket to Scotland in low season.

Definitely, Eliseo is a bit crazy, he´s like a goat (We would say), but we appreciated him.

Finaly, I´ve finished. I´m exhausted!!

See you all on Wednesday. Have a great weekend!.
