There was a pretty constant supply of messages here until about the second week in December. The I put what was meant to be a harmless and helpful messages about Notes in Spanish and then what???
The messages dried up! I hope they restart now but, late as it is, since this seems to be the first message of 2008, Feliz año nuevo.
Hello, David and Feliz Año Nuevo to you too! Probably the plans for trips to Spain are still being thought through and practical questions have to wait?
You could stir things up with some practical questions/answers in Spanish?
Feliz Ano Nuevo, David! I'm actually beginning to plan a trip to Spain and might have some questions myself. I'm not quite to that point, yet, though...
No estoy seguro qhe pueda escribir 'practical questions and answers in Spanish.' I'll get round to trying when I'm a bit more used to being a cataractless person [as of yesterday.]
Meanwhile here is a completely useless bit of knowledge.
En Inglaterra decimos 'Seville oranges' para significar las naranjas amargas que se usan solamente para hacer mermolada de naranjas. Pero ¿como se llaman en Sevilla?

Según esta página de la Universidad de Sevilla, se conoce como naranjo amargo, naranjo de Sevilla, naranja agria y naranja bigarade.
En mi país (Puerto Rico) la conocemos como naranja o naranja agria pues a la naranja (orange) la llamamos "china".
Una vez, hace algunos años, pasé tres noches a Grazalema. Andaba al salto de cabrero y me cayé. Un par desde Sevilla me ayudaron y pues andabamos ensieme. Me dijeron que 'Seville oranges' se llaman en Sevilla 'naranjas de Málaga.'

I believe you just said "Happy new Anus". I hope David has not had that procedure done!!!!
Ano = anus Año = year

I find that, particularly on the internet these days, people leave off accent marks, tildas, circumflexes, etc. right and left -- frequently because of differences in keyboards, etc. I assume that DavidX was aware of his omission.
