The ugly words of 2020
This year so far, I have learnt a lot of ugly words. And that in all the languages I speak.
Late Summer in the Countryside
It is still hot, but the days are getting shorter. It is August after all. We are impressed by how long the trees' shadows are. And early in the morning, the countryside is full of life, with birds and hares everywhere. Again: the province of Málaga is not just the coast. The interior is worth seeing and often has much more to offer. Here, near the small town of Archidona. Not far from the coast, but another world. Enjoy!

Es triste lo que hay detrás (lo que está sufriendo todo el planeta), pero es bella la idea de plasmarlo en palabras.
ReplyDelete¡Gracias, Au! Era mi manera de expresar mi tristeza, pero aún mucho más, de gritar mi rabia hacia medidas muchas veces absurdas. Y de agradecer a ciertas personas que luchan para que triunfe la verdad un día.
DeleteSo interesting, Chani - and thought-provoking! I know a lot of people are tired of the restrictions - there are protests across Europe, I've heard - but what are they protesting against? If we don't control the virus, there will be even more restrictions and deaths. I must say, personally, I don't actually experience much of these restrictions and I'm happy working from home but I know a lot of people have lost their jobs, so I guess I'm just lucky? Also, I think introverted people have an easier time in lockdown - all three of us in my small family (even our teenage son!) are introverts, so we don't find the restrictions difficult at all. I feel sorry for people who have a hard time...
ReplyDeleteI am also rather introverted, but I am suffering because I haven't got much work those last months, which is not astonishing, as many activities were prohibited, postponed... People are protesting because they have lost their work, think the future of their kids is in danger without a "real" school, and/or think lockdowns are not the appropriate response and will generate more deaths than the virus itself (doctors and other specialists also have different opinions on this, time will tell who was right at the end).
DeletePS It's great that you speak so many languages! I can just about make out some of German and Spanish words!
ReplyDeleteThank you. In fact, I speak more languages than those but I prefered to concentrate on some of them.
