2019
MMXIX was a year in search of settlement, to no avail.
January
We're in Spain.
- 2: Our first excursion of the year, in la Pedriza, taming El Caliz.
February
- 15: We visit Pedraza in the Provincia de Segovia:
- 23: Elena performs (6 songs) with Bajo Cuerda at the MiLupe concert in the Sala Legend of Tres Cantos.
- 24: Julia now writes fluently (and faultlessly) under dictation (she's 4 years, 1 month & 21 days) and made her first bullet-list:
- 27: Julia writes her first email. While it took me about a dozen years to go from handwriting to the computer, Julia took this step in 3 days.
March
- 1: Julia rides the bike alone (for small distances).
- 3: We visit Peñafiel and Castrillo del Duero.
- 9: Julia (with technical help from her mum) realises her first stop-motion movie: Bubu hace tontunas que Julia no se espera:
- 16: We make a blitz day trip to France (for the car ITV) and marvel at Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
April
- 1: Julia bikes all by herself, starting the bike and riding large distances. Fabrice's tooth prosthesis operation completes.
- 6: First concert of MAS.
- 13‒21: Our Easter trip with Antoine brings us to five Autonomous communities of the Eastern part of Spain, visiting famous landmarks, stunning landscapes, important cities, the coast and the birthplace of three rivers.
May
- 4: We visit Wales with Inma (with Boffis castle and the Welsh coastal path as the main highlights).
- 6: We can finally admire the Ironbridge (without scaffolding).
June
- 7: I reach my first over-2000 rating in Lichess (for puzzle solving):
- 9: The Vals del Vampiro is released.
- 20: Lichess Rating over 2100 in puzzles.
July
August
- 9: We visit the Hardwick Hall.
- 16: Julia's first selfie:
- 31: We visit Aston and become members of the Birmingham Museums Trust. Julia shot her fist picture with a reflex camera at this occasion (on the 3rd attempt):
2nd & 1st attempts. The camera is heavy so keeping the image horizontal is the main hurdle.
September
- 1: Elena releases Cómo será
- 14: We finally really visit Bournemouth.
- 18: Julia developed by herself and spontaneously a back swimming technique.
October
- 29: First appearance of Julia's sibling:
