What about vikings?
It's funny how a TV serie can push you to reflect about history. I already finish "The last kingdom" serie and I was really satisfied. It's pure entertainment. I know that we know almost nothing about the characters. But I also asked my self if some elements are related to real history: Is it the set (constructions) well documented and based on evidence? Are the blacksmith, carpenters, sailors techniques well described belong that age? I did not find yet information on Internet. The most intriguing think are the book that wrote King Albert on IX siecle. How many of those books survive today? Yesterday I start with the first episode of "Vikings"... And I already start to ask and research on navigation (and orientation) technique of that age. Maybe I'm too curious.

Another way to say something
Il read this phrase on Internet: "The management and the workers struck a bargain which led to the strike ending peacefully". This is advanced English to me. So I try to say the same in others words. Something Like: "The management and the workers negotiate a deal that permit the end of the strike in peace". I know that I must to train with this expressions: "Which led", "Which appear", "Which seems", etc. and also with "strike ending", "car rental ending", "marriage ending" instead of "the end of the...". What do you think?

All the burocratic problems in Mexico are concentrated in SAT Office. Noe, with the pandemic the procedures are worst. I know that going to the gouverment agencies all over the world is always difficult but here it is impossible.

The real world
I saw the film "Rush" yestarday with my wife. It was a very interesting film with great performances and a history well constructed. It's a real history about the rivality of Niki Lauda and James Hunt, two pilots of race cars. The film was situated basically en 1976. I particularly appreciated the action scenes. Some times my hands sweated because I was completly in. At the film exit, my wife told me that in the actions scenes she was praying for the protagonists. It's amazing, we completely forgot the real world.

Volunteering.
I like volunteering. But I think you rarely give goods or services to others for free. Sometime people engage with other as a volunteers but they doesn't accept the engagements. Still that, I push people to become volunteers.
