Godó days:)

Well, as you know, last Tuesday I went to Barcelona to the Godó (a tennis tournament). But, what you probably don't know is that I went there again on Sunday to see the final of the tournament between R.Nadal and D.Ferrer 'cause a friend of mine invited me.
Every year, my tennis club organizes an excursion to go to the tournament during one of the days it's taking place. We left at 9am from Figueres by bus, so we arrived there at 11am. Before entering in, we had the chance to meet Tommy Robredo, who had just arrived there. Luckily for us, we could tkae a photo with him (I don't have it yet).
We finally entered in and went for a walk looking round. We noticed which matches were taking place that day and the time they started. So, at that time was starting the first match of the day between Spepanek and Wawrinka. We saw it for a while and then we went to the central court were Nalbandian was playing against Almagro.
Then, Laura and me went for a walk again 'cause there are a kind of shops or advertisment places where they give you things such as caps, pens, postcards, pocket diaries... There was one where they let you taste water with lemon sensation and we went there many time 'cause it was really hot!haha
We went back to the first court where now was playing David Ferrer against P. Starace. There, while watching the match, we had lunch (some sandwiches we brought from home). I really like David Ferrer, so it was an interesting match for me.
After, we went to see Nadal's match at the central court. I have to say that he's not my favourite player, I have to accept that his game is excellent, though. However, it was not definetly a great match 'cause his rival wasn't so good so it was a little bit boring.
When Nadal's match finished we left, not before takin a nespresso, though. One of those "shops" I told you about was from Nespresso and they gave you free coffee, it was great!
We finally left at 6.30-7, and we wanted to arrive early 'cause it was st. George's day so we wanted to go to the 'avenue'. We got it!:)
Well, I'm not telling you how was everything on Sunday 'cause I think that you've got enough to read!haha I just tell you that I had R.Nadal and D.Ferrer at minus that one metre from me! The atmosphere there was fantastic and it was great to be able to enjoy an event like that, I loved it!
take care,

Making "brunyols".

As every year, on Wednesday I went to my grandma's house in Banyoles in order to make "brunyols". We do it every year during one of Easter Holidays' day.
My aunts make the dough in the morning 'cause it has to stand for long hours and at the same time its volume has to increase.
We usually arrive at Lunch's time, as well as the rest of the family do. Then we all have lunch which is made by my grdma so it's obvioulsy delicious!lool After having lunch we usually wath the tv, play on the computer or do something else until the dough is ready.
When the dough has increased enough, we go to the kitchen and start making "brunyols". Usually the young ones (me, my cousins...) are the ones who give form to the dough and the older ones (my mother, my aunts...) are those who cook them. Then there's also someone responsible for throwing some sugar and someone in charge of throwing a homemade liqueur on them.
Then it's just time to taste them!


Here are the ingredients you need to make them. I'm not telling you the procedure 'cause just my grndma has it so I don't exactly know it.

Ingredients:
- flour
- eggs
- suggar
- yeast
- some water
- lemon peel
- butter
- oil
- milk
- homemade liqueur
- "matafaluga"


I always enjoy a lot the making "brunyols" day with all the family, it's a funny day:)

Vicenç.

I talked about Guillem, my older brother. So now it's time to tell you about Vicenç, the younger one, who's also very important for me.
He is nineteen, he's going to be twenty on 23 March, though. I still don't know if I'll give him a present or not. My birthday is on the 29 April, so if he gives me one, I'll do give him one; but if he doesn't, the most probably option, I won't. Nevertheless, maybe I'll do 'cause I know if he had time he would give me something and he's so good to me. So, if I have enough money to spend, maybe I'll buy him something 'cause I like buying clothes for him.
There are three years between us, so he's doing 2nd of a degree. He has always played football as a goalkeeper, he's very sportive, and he had always said he would like to study 'INEF'. However, he studied scientific-technological as I do and Guillem had done and he finally decided to study Industrial Engineering a
t the UPC (Universitat Politèncica de Catalunya) which is located in Barcelona. So he had to set off to Barcelona and now I remaind 'alone' at home. He's living in a students residence although he's going to move to a flat next year with some friends he has made there. In fact, I miss them on weekdays, there's too much silence at home!lol
Vicenç is really nice and attractive. He's funny, outgoing, extroverted and cheerful. He had a girlfriend for nearly three years but they finally splited up when he left to Barcelona. I don't know many things about his love life, but I have the feeling he's got a girlfriend in Barcelona. I'll have to investigate about it!lool


That's all for today, see you:)
