I passed by the Strand the other day (actually I do it everyday but just to make it a bit more interesting) and saw and old tube station called "the Strand", part of the Piccadilly railway. The station looked quite new (if you compare with the still under use stations) and wondered what hapenned to it. I did a bit of research and found this interesting website that talks briefly about "ghost stations and ghosts lines" and obviously the strand is there. Funny that it closed in 1994 so I had eventually the chance to take it in the past but never did.

Enjoy the reading here

For all the readers out there, Merry Xmas! There is a little bit of a drought in posts here but I am hoping that the turron will make up for it.

See you all soon!

We played.

We saw.

We enjoyed.

We Wii-hood yesterday.

Yes, as I told you we tried a Wii, we played tennis, bowling, some baseball and golf (I even did a par 4 with a chip-in!). We created two Miis and configured all the widgets it comes with and we can say that the Wii rocks.

I for once thought that now that Spain is seen as cool internationally and that we have won Oscars, World Basketball titles, F1 championship titles (twice) and several hundreds of Michelin stars (almost) we will be coming next winning one of these weblog awards (at least a nomination to the most useless one!) but truth is that ain't hapenning.

Anyway, pretty good stuff and ideas out there, to read, laugh, learn and get entertained and in the meantime to vote for. Check it here

After spending a long weekend in Xixon my impressions are the following:

1. Xixon is "guapo".
2. Food was among the best ever.
3. The wedding was the best ever.
4. North of Spain is "guapo"
5. It was cold!

Paella crisis commitee, Friday the 1st of December 2006

Commander seafood talking to the rice army raised the alarm today. A paella event hapenning this next Sunday seems to be in the verge of a major crisis. There are multiple reasons that have converged together into a fatalitic coincidence of star alignment:

• The recipe is lost.
• The chef (that in the previous paella event gave the final touch) will not be present.
• Is on a Sunday.
• There is a majority of non-spaniards in the event, to be more precise, 2 brits and 2 americans.
• There is no back-up plan neither there is a decision made for the entrees (in the french sense of the word in the case you were american).
• Desserts, oh desserts!

If you are one of the patrons coming and ever hapenned to read this, think about it twice before coming.

Best regards, the seafood PA on behalf of seafood commander.
