Dublin
Als voltants de Dublin gairebe tot es verd.
I a la ciutat, l’unic que em fa recordar que Dublin es una poblacio amb tants habitants com Barcelona es la quantitat de gent que corre amunt i avall pel carrer tot el dia.
Els edificis son mes aviat baixets i, en proporcio, els son carrers amples. No se si ho fa la construccio d’obra vista, pero Dublin te un encant especial.
Si no, Dublin dona la sensacio de ser una poblacio mitjana (ciutat petita)…
Amb molts colors…
I amb molts espais agradables per passejar.
M’encanta el contrast entre el cel ple de nuvols ben foscos i la llum del sol acabat de sortir –a Dublin es facil veure-ho.
Cada vegada que hi he anat (3 cops aquest any), a estones feia sol i en d’altres plovia o feia una nuvolada considerable. A Dublin un sempre te tema de conversa : )

full time specialized position for 6000 EUR/year???????
How ridiculous can we get??
Translation and Copyrighting Specialist at Grifols, Sant Cugat, Spain.
Below are screenshots of the offer (sorry it’s split into two)
They should be ambarrassed to be offering that.
EDIT: in the comments below, in Catalan, Mezkal lets us know that the company, Grifols, has removed the information regarding salary. Mezkal also provides the following information: in Spain, minimum wage is 8.736 euros/year (that is, 624eur/month split into 14 pays). It was probably a mistake. Thanks, Mezkal!

heart-shaped leaves
I took these on the same day I took a few shots of my grandma.
It finally feels like Fall here: a few nights last week we reached 43 or 44 ºF. This morning is mainly cloudy, although the sun shows up every now and then, which is nice : )
We’ve had the central heating on for a couple of days… and I admit I’m cozy seating by the electric heater : )
Happy Fall to all!

Language endangerment-related videos
Thanks to Lev’s last post on the movie The Linguists, I’ve found a few jewels of videos on endangered language documentation, revitalization, etc.
The Linguists – Archiving for Speakers and Linguists is just one of them, but you’ll see some more related videos at the bottom of the screen.
