Hey everyone out there,
Just to show there are actual human being and not only English learners, I like telling something of myself every once in a while.
For instance, I like Emiliano’s style of posting where you can see his life.
Hey emiliano, Yesterday evening I finished re-reading Murder on the Orient Express which I liked.
It is nice to see how Poirot makes his little brains’ gray cells at work.
Just out of curiosity I searched the movie on youtube and found the one from 1974.
It was terrible badly done and I stopped watching it after ten minutes. A delusion.
In the first 10 minutes alone is fully packed with stereotypes and Poirot looks like a retarded penguin.
Anyway, this morning after the sun was high in the cold winter sky I went out for a walk.
We have to keep fit right? we cant stay all day listening to the radio and Jeff, right?.
As I was walking and thinking at Warren’s post I Took out my phone and shoots a couple of picture of my place and sent those to Emiliano.
I just received his reply.
That’s it! Now I think I am gonna have my sandwich with a nice big onion which is going to make the cats and me crying, but very delicious.
Thank you all guys and have a nice week.
