Introduction

Hello, I discovered this website a couple of days ago and I thought I could use it as group therapy (for the situation nowadays and because I’ve never had access to group therapy). First I’m going to introduce myself and in another post I’ll go with the heavy stuff. My name is Eloy, a 43-year-old English teacher from Spain. I live in Socuéllamos (Ciudad Real), Don Quijote territory. I’m originally from Cáceres (though born in Madrid) and I’ve lived there all my life, up the year 2000 more or less. I’ve spent the last 20 years between the U.S., Galicia and Castilla La Mancha, where I’ve spent the last 12 years (and more, since I’ve bought a house here). As an English teacher ( as we say in Spain) I preach with the example. My motto is “Don’t learn English, LIVE it” and so, everything I watch ( almost, since one of my favorite programs is Spanish) it’s in English (thanks to ororo.tv). Apart from watching movies-TV shows, I collaborate with a horror-sci-fi website, abandomoviez.net , (for Spanish-speaking members) doing all kinds of things, from interviewing actors/directors( not A-listers) to writing articles on different subjects, from the comedic aspect of action-film actors to comparing book and movie adaptation. Another thing that satisfies me a lot is my volunteer work at the local dog shelter (ASPA). I live with 3 wonderful adopted dogs from there (plus my mom’s cat) and I normally help there once a week (though I haven’t gone for a while, since all this started). I’m responsible for uploading and even photographing the dogs there so they are adopted by families all over Spain (and even Europe). As you can see, I have a varied, though simple life style, which I hope I can keep with my new “best friend” MS.

Hello @crockett32, and welcome to Shift! There is obviously a big preoccupation on here at the moment with Corona virus. We are lucky on here to access some information directly from leading doctors in the field, which has been very reassuring. Am I correct in thinking that Spain is going to extend lockdown? We are just entering Week 4 in the UK. What a strange world this is turning out to be! Anyway, stay safe, great that you’ve joined Shift :-)

Hi vixen! Yes,we'll probably be confined up to the 10th of May (official date is April 26th), but I'm doing fine in that aspect. Thanks for your welcome.
