As Marina said a few days ago, these last days of summer are a treasure. Time to share sweet moments with family and friends, to enjoy the nice weather outdoors before the autumn cold arrives. Bye bye summer days. Fall is knocking at my door, and I'm so happy ;-P
I love to eat at my parents house garden, it's my favorite thing to do in summer. Having lunch or dinner, it doesn't matter, but being all my family together. Summer in Lleida is very hot, but these days the weather is sweet and autumn cold hasn't arrived yet. I hope we can stay together ten thousand summers more!
It's summer, and summer is the perfect time to sing a typical Catalan song, the havanera. The original havanera comes from Cuba. Many Catalan sailors went to Cuba during XIX century and returned to Catalonia with these traditional songs. People usually sing it near the see, at night. I let you this precious havanera singed by Silvia Perez Cruz in Calella de Palafrugell, a little town in the Costa Brava.
Last summer, JJ and I went to Swedish Lapland. We rented a car and drove the roads of this magic place on Earth. Green landscapes, cabins and midnight sun.
I made a playlist for our trip. Everytime I listen to it, It reminds me of that special time.
We are living difficult times here in our country. Well, I know it's a global situation, but these days, with our new political scene, the crisis, the burning forests and all the sh*t that's happening here... Well, let's just say that is not easy being an optimistic and to keep the hope alive... but not impossible!
Its Friday, it's Summer, tonight we have a birthday dinner with some dear friends (Happy Birthday Anna!), and the most important thing, I will start my vacations next week (sunshine, lollipops and pink unicorns!!)
And there's always music and funny videos to help us...
