What Color Goes With Wine Color Walls

SPARKLER CHESTERTON AS ALMOST SUMMER

Just another ten days to officially start the summer, although the weather conditions in recent weeks one can not say whether we are in summer or spring or who knows what . Before we caught the summer with their heat, I wanted to leave a written record here a few flashes of today for comment among all, if it seems right.

The latest polls, those of the daily El Mundo , El Pais and ABC , among others, indicate that the PP would obtain a comfortable majority, perhaps majority, if during these days the general election. But very recently, these differences between the PSOE and PP were not so bulky. Seems to have been the famous "snip" of the government-imposed by the European authorities, what has precipitated this sudden change in public opinion. There are still two years of Legislature and anything can happen, but the wear on the PSOE is somewhat difficult to reverse. The Government is hereby Take the labor reform and not have it easy, given the union's demands. Just today the unions CCOO and UGT have announced the convening of a general strike, perhaps after the summer. Who knows if they or will not, given the fiasco that was the last strike on 8 officials. We'll see how is everything but a hot autumn is coming.

Speaking of elections, just meet up results elections in Belgium. Flemish separatists have gained NV-A (New Flemish Alliance) and it seems that the prospects of government are complicated. Furthermore, in July assumes the EU presidency Belgium and then may not have formed a government. It is regrettable that a country as culturally advanced as Belgium is on the verge of disappearing because of the endless concessions to the nationalists. Something similar could happen here if not to stem the cravings of the separatists. So Asterix can be difficult to travel back to Belgium ...

began on day 11 World Cup in South Africa. The eyes of millions of football fans will be glued to the TV for a month. The English team is already in South Africa and this time there is a kind of confidence and widespread optimism about the possibilities of Spain to win the World Cup. As long as you do not look ridiculous and do a good job, I am content, but hopefully we can scream "Spain, Spain" as a champion of the world on July 11. A friend of ours, the great Alcides blogger and writer of the blog Roads traveler, has written a thought decidedly right: A desire for entertainment, escape, alias Football World Cup 2010: Spain wins and who loses 'red' . So be it.

And finally, the spark Chestertonian. Today, June 14, exactly 74 years since the death of Chesterton. It was a loss deeply felt by his wife, Frances Blogg , his friends, especially Hilaire Belloc - and even dialectical and literary rivals. I did not want this day pass without a remembrance and a prayer for the repose of the soul of English genius, but I have to me that now lies at the heart of God, next to yours, and will surely continue the dialogue about this, that and the beyond, in an infinite and infinitely animated conversation.

Thanks for your patience in reading these lines. As always, I wish you well. Take care much, God bless and until next time.
