Last week I found that the pond in a little park in Santa Cruz had quite a lot of frogs in it. Today I finally got back there with my good camera. I’ve admired the Palmeran frog’s golden eyes for years, but today I was irresistibly reminded of grumpy old men. Somehow I can easily imagine this let yelling at me to “Get off my pond!” What do you…
Photos of the week: salad
I collected my weekly box of veg from the Casa amarilla in La Ledas, and I got excited about making a salad for lunch. I don’t often get excited about salad, but it looked so fresh and crisp and juicy and tasty! I could almost see the vitamins dancing on top.

I later found that I’d passed all the language school internal exams. Unfortunately they weren’t so important…
