We're Moving!

This is my last post on Blogger. I've set up my blog on WordPress, and I'll be blogging over there from now on. 

My WordPress account has a main page on which the blog entries can be accessed from the section in the middle called "My Thoughts", or from the menu in the upper right hand corner by pressing "Blog." 

I really don't like to let go of this account, because I had it set up in a way that I liked. Blogger has a pretty simple approach to writing and personalizing one's page, but it's become too unwieldy for me. For some strange reason, it refused to agree with my keyboard the last couple of entries, yet today it's working more correctly. But I just can't sit down to write without knowing what to expect from the screen. 

My blog will continue with the same address, except for having WordPress instead of Blogspot. It's spanishviews.wordpress.com. 

I welcome everyone to come over to the new blog, and thank you for following me up till now!

Contagion just keeps going up, especially among the young people. In less than a month, Spain has become one of the European countries with the most spread of Covid. Luckily, we are also vaccinating quickly, now, and there are fewer hospitalizations. Still, this means that we are not going to have a freer summer.  Thinking about some of the things I have written about, and that have caught my eye, I realize that my political views have always been left of center. Even when I was a child, I was obsessed with justice. "That's not fair!" was an exclamation that always made me mad. It wasn't fair that if one kid did something wrong, the whole class should be punished. It wasn't fair that a bully would take away a kid's cookies. It wasn't fair! As I grew, and watched the evening news with my parents, I became aware that the world wasn't fair, either. There were wars, people killed other people, people lived in poverty, people went hungry next to others sipp

In Normal Times, 1. Blinking Awake.

It's been six months since the last time I wrote. I've been tired, and haven't felt much like putting my thoughts into coherent words and sentences. I haven't been helped by the age of my computer (it's screaming out for change; it still uses Windows 7), nor by this platform of Blogger. As I write, it underlines everything I've written in red, squiggly lines, reminding me to spell check because it's all wrong. Yet, I have my computer set to English, as well as trying to find an input language on this thing, and check @English@. It also won-t coincide with my keyboard. I just put quotation marks around the word English, yet it gave out asperands. It also gave me a hyphen instead of an apostrophe in won-t. Yet, when I pull up an empty page on my word processor, everything coincides correctly. And one time in March, when I found enough energy to write, I tried to put in photos from my phone and the entire entry was somehow erased. If I return and keep writing,
