1. My English to Spanish translation teacher is refreshingly unpatronising in today's lesson. "...and when you're in the review session, please don't cry. No, really. Every year, it happens, without fail. Okay, so you're crying, it doesn't mean I'm going to change your exam grade." This man earns big respect from behind his tiny glasses.
2. Walking somewhat aimlessly up one of the grandiose streets that branches off Puerta del Sol, the early-evening sunlight ricochets off far-off buildings and I can almost feel without a shadow of a doubt how wonderful (and almost unbearably hot) the city will be in summer.
3. Confessing to feeling blue about something, even if it's only half-heartedly, takes some weight from the battle.
3a. Mum's chuckling as we talk about nothing in particular on Skype.
