There’s nowhere so cold as an Andalusian house in winter. Just a few degrees cooler than the South Pole.

I wonder what’s happening to the foundations of those houses…

Thanks! No, I’m in Jerez, which, contrary to what the media would have you believe, is only partially flooded. It’s a city of over 200,000 people and on the outskirts, some neighbourhoods are under water, due the the river flooding. 900 people have been evacuated so far.

It’s heartbreaking. The ground is so saturated that it’s moving under the houses, like the tremors preceding an earthquake.

Beautiful and so moving. Thanks for this, I wasn’t familiar with it.

As they should.

Qué jartura!

just got out of an uber. the driver was telling me how he has to work 16 hour days, seven days a week, at two different jobs to afford rent. he doesn't have healthcare and he worries about retirement. "i would feel a lot better if we owned greenland," he told me. then he cried.

She’s out, at last. A bit sticky and stained after years of use, but still the queen of our Christmas lunch.

Will you just look at that adorable little face…

Poor Luna. 🤗I hope she feels much better soon.

Euphemisms for death just kill me | The Observer Language matters. When I’m dead, don’t you dare say I’ve – horror of horrors – become ‘unalive’

"When I die, please say just that: that I died. Please do not say that I have “passed”, or “passed away”, or “passed on”, for if you do I will be very cross and come back to haunt you for such infuriating flabbiness of expression," writes Melanie Reid.

Conocía a Enrique, la descripción no me deja dudas, y sé cuál era su casa, así que me permite estrechar un poco el cerco. Hoy no puedo, pero mañana buscaré incansablemente.

Ahora tengo una misión!

Ohhh, cómo me gusta un buen enigma! Como callejera del centro nivel experto, nada más leerlo creo que ya tengo una parte resuelta.

But I’ve lost 8kg: and so is that.

I’ve eaten a cake. Unfortunately, that’s news.

Marking satire as such goes against its very nature and says a lot about the intelligence of the average audience.

Well, well done him!

Why the inverted commas, @elpais.com?

Armhole??

The Kent State shootings come to mind; and I remember a BBC documentary about the Chicago conspiracy trial which for some reason reduced me to tears and caused me to have a huge row with my father. I was only 15 but very passionate about the political situation at the time.

Go Chicago! Sending strength from Spain. 💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏿

He apparently lived to a great age.

Salud! I hope you soon feel the effects of the injection.

They mostly call me María!

Yes, it’s my home too, the place I’m always happy to come back to, and (excuse the cliché)”where everyone knows my name”.
