Bad Memory
If you are an absentminded person and in addition you have a bad memory the result usually is a disaster. You often arrive home from the supermarket carrying half of the things you need and sometimes when you are in the queue you realize you have left the money and credit cards at home.
You need to buy an average of three umbrellas as you don’t know where you left them and spend at least 10 minutes every morning looking for the car keys that are usually with the sunglasses at the weirdest places.
The lists worked at first, mainly when I had only 2 or 3 but everything became complicated when I forgot where I had written things. I was about to write a list of the lists when a friend told me that she uses a notebook and that if I am able to keep my notebook with me wherever I go I will have solved all my problems forever….

El Periódico
Pero los domingos es diferente, lo primero que leo es el editorial y las noticias locales para estar bien informada de lo que pasa en mi ciudad. A veces escucho las noticias antes de desayunar y me salto la sección de internacional.
No soy muy aficionada a los deportes así que hecho un vistazo rápido a esta sección. Me gustan las páginas de entretenimiento y siempre hago el sudoku, no se me resiste ni uno, soy una experta.
También leo los anuncios clasificados. No se porque pero me gusta saber lo que la gente quiere comprar o le gustaría vender aunque nunca he comprado ni vendido nada utilizando este método.
También leo las páginas dedicadas a viajes con información sobre ciudades, rutas, lugares interesantes para ir de vacaciones, ofertas especiales, etc, y la sección cultural llamada “Babelia” donde puedes leer desde críticas de cine, últimos libros publicados, entrevistas, de todo un poco.
Además los domingos siempre hay alguna sección dedicada a la moda, tecnología, decoración, etc.
Como veis hay miles de razones para pasar media mañana del domingo enganchado al periódico.
The Newspaper
I can’t imagine morning breakfast without a newspaper. From Monday to Friday I haven’t much time but I always take a look to the headlines.
It’s quite different on Sundays, The first I read it’s the editorial page and the local news to be well informed what happens in my town. Sometimes I listen to the news before breakfast so I skip the international section.
I’m not very fond of sports so I only take a small look to this part. I like the funnies and I always do the sudoku, it doesn’t matter how difficult it can be. I’m a master.
I also read the classifieds. I don’t know why but I like to know what people want to buy or would like to sell although I’ve never bought or sold anything using this method.
I also read the “Travel” pages with information about cities, routes, interesting places to go on holidays, special offers, etc and the cultural section called “Babelia” where you can read from film reviews, the last published books, interviews, a bit of everything.
In addition on Sundays there is always a section for fashion, technology, interior decoration, etc.
As you can see there are thousands of reasons to pass half of the Sunday morning getting caught to the newspaper.
