Film Night
Mon, 20.09.10 TBC
Where?
Please email Anuradha for details.
Our monthly Film Night has become one of BWN’s most popular evening activities.
By vote, we select an English language movie that shows as “original version” (i.e. that has not been dubbed into Spanish) at an easy-to-reach Barcelona theatre.
We typically shoot for an early evening start time, meeting c. 19:30-19:45 at the theatre so that everybody can individually buy her ticket before the show starts. Often, many of us join up for a drink or dinner afterwards. And the popcorn & shake during the movie are anyway optional!
Cost
Pay-your-own-ticket.

Wednesday, February 04, 2009Here is a very easy and very delicious recipe. It was given to me by a co-worker years ago, a Catalan woman who loathed cooking and yet felt obliged to provide great food for her family. So she had developed a number of cack-hand-proof dishes. The only thing you really need to watch here is that it doesn?t burn.

Thursday, January 29, 2009Fed up with the gloom and doom mongers? Then here is a few minutes of harmony and peace.

Wednesday, January 21, 2009As I?ve mentioned in previous posts, we make regular fun trips to the Punt Verd (recycling centre) with our interminable piles of rubbish (we are such good citizens, she said smugly).
