Have you got a favourite 'chore' at home? I enjoy cooking (specially if it's one of my favourite dishes), doing the garden and feeding the cat.

Which activities / hobbies make you relaxed and chilled? To your mind would you consider learning another language one of these?

Hi there, here are some original expressions to say that something is similar to another: - much of a muchness - same difference* - lookie-likie* (more refering to a person who looks like another one) * Informal/colloquial Do you know any more?

I live in Valencia Spain and a few days ago we had Fallas. It is a combination of a pagan and religious festival and brings everyone together to celebrate. There are artists called Falleros who work the whole year round to build and create huge realistic structures out of wood and cardboard and each one is based on a different theme presented in an amusing and often using satire to make us reflect. They can be related to famous people and what's happening in our society and in the world, the environment, the world we live in, stories or tales, comparing old and new ways, developments in science, amongst others. The original idea of the Fallas came from throwing out the old at the end of winter and burning it, ready to start afresh for spring, which is what is done to the Fallas structures here too at the end. There are also processions in the streets of groups from each locality in the city wearing traditional costumes and with a band behind playing typical Valencian music. There are also displays of explosives and bangers for 15 minutes every day: the sound is impressive and very loud! There are also spectacular firework displays every night. In the street there are many stalls selling food of different kinds like famous 'churros'which are similar to donuts but they have a long shape and you can have them with thick liquid chocolate. There are also many bands playing live music in the evening and there is a lot of atmosphere and people enjoying themselves in the streets. Welcome spring! 🔥💥🌟🧡💃🙋🤸🚴🚣💐🌹🌺🌿🌳👏👏👏

Have you any ideas for new projectives and objectives for 2023?
