Today, I'm translating an academic essay on the opportunities and risks of technology, and how to approach them in the field of education, from Italian to English.
Being interested in photography means I don't have a lot of images of myself. That's normal eh? Here's a brilliant one of yours truly though, taken a few days ago by expert @chriswright. Thanks Chris.
I did get a touch of vertigo stood there as the drop the other side was immense 😱
Today's trailhead was just a 20 minute drive from Granada city. 4 kilometers and 300 meters of ascent later we reached the delectable and very well named summit of "Cerro Buenavista". We ate our lunch in the warm sunshine, on the soft grassy summit slopes with the snows of the Sierra Nevada stretched out before us. The dulcet tones of Lou Reeds "Perfect Day" played gently in the background. Yup, about right!
It appears that the BrewDog Lost Forest has in fact been largely lost. To date Scottish Forestry had paid BrewDog £690,986.90 for planting, but seemingly large numbers of the planted trees are now dead.
As the sun went slowly down to the west of Granada we were left with a brief but beautiful sunset over the peaks of the Sierra Nevada. We watched the sun dip below the horizon and then the clouds illuminated with color, before the cold had us hurrying towards our tent.
Bon, ça y est. J’ai rendu la traduction de Kohei Saito.
En même temps, je travaille avec des collègues sur la traduction de l’Avenir en Commun en japonais. On a réussi à obtenir une préface de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, et je travaille donc sur la traduction française de la postface pour validation par l’éditeur français… Dans la préface, Mélenchon cite justement Saito. Une petite boucle de bouclée.
La semaine prochaine, j’enclenche sur un document de présentation des problématiques de l’aide publique au développement pour un groupement d’ONG. Et après, je me pose 10 minutes.
Et puis c’est, préparation d’une communication en juin, écriture du projet de thèse, écriture du livre sur OmegaT (tant attendu ?!?), écriture d’un premier article pour communiquer sur mon master, restitution des contenus au niveau local, recherche de traductions pour vivre aussi, et tout le tralala.
Wow, what a wild night. Total calm until 2am and then the strong winds hit our exposed perch on the mountainside. Not much sleep after that. Winds were more suited to Patagonia than southern Spain.
Good job we had a good tent. If we had a festival tent we would have woken up in Morocco 😀 😂
Spring is in the air and so starts our Andalucia river walking season. Yesterday, we found a 6 km long stretch of river, a bit overgrown after the winter, but full of color, challenges and interest. Glorious scenery with 20+ enforced crossings of the river with rock pools galore to cool off in. A fabulous day!
Encore 10 phrases et je finis la traduction française de 「人新世の『資本論』」. Merci à Kohei Saito pour ce beau texte qui nous remplit d’énergie et d’espoir. Parution en France à la fin de l’été, si tout se passe bien.
Chouette dimanche en perspective. On ne lâche rien.

Wonderful circular hike today starting at the Collado del Muerto above Monachil (Granada) and taking in Cerro de Cuesta Bermejo and the Rio Monachil. Lovely mix of valleys and mountainsides and at every turn backed by the snow covered Sierra Nevada and Cumbres Verdes mountains.
Although I've been using linux and hosting websites on external servers for many years I'm a late comer to the home server network. Probably a good solution for storing and backup of images amongst many other things. My Synology NAS drive arrives in the next few days and I then can start "messing" :sablobsmilehappy: Any starter tips?
Proud of @CoralieNeuville, who managed to get out another personal blog post, this time on the passion of Holy Week (Semana Santa) in Granada - in French!
