Second graduation day. The city centre is full of students and professors on their gowns. Today it is the Humanities batch. We are having great weather, sunny and warm. Maybe too hot for all the people sweating in the Guildhall but well, at least it is not raining.. which it seems it will be tomorrow...when the Science students will be graduating. Ah well.. at the moment it ALMOST feels like Hawaii??


I read my 3 Daphne du Maurier books last week. Best one for mistery and creepiness..My cousin Rachel. Frenchman's Creek did not appeal me that much. Beautiful depictions of the Cornwall coast and landscape, but a not very belivable story. Looked like an Errol Flynn movie. Something like Captain Blood. Don't look now was a collection of short stories. Some better than others, but in general, an entertaining little book. I have more du Maurier books this week. Today I am starting with The Hungry Hill. Let's see...

Segundo dia de graduacion. Hoy toca a los de Humanidades. Hace un dia estupendo, soleado y caluroso. Quiza demasiado caluroso para los pobres estudiantes y padres que tendran que aguantar horas de discursos y aplausos en la sala mayor del Ayuntamiento. Dicen que maniana cambiara el tiempo y llovera. Sera la graduacion de los de Ciencias, que le vamos a hacer... De momento, con este calor, casi parece que estemos en...Hawaii??


Termine mis 3 primeros libros de Daphne du Maurier. El mejor por misterio y suspense, My cousin Rachel. Frenchman's Creek no me convencio mucho. Bonitas descripciones de la costa y paisajes de Cornwall, pero de un romanticismo algo facilon. Como una pelicula de Errol Flynn, Captain Blood, por ejemplo. Las historias cortas de Dont' Look Now eran variadas, algunas mejores que otras pero, en general, un interesante librito. Hoy empiezo a leer The Hungry Hill. Ya veremos...
