Unblock nose spray is a drug.
When I was a teenager as soon as I had a cold I had a runny nose. My nose was normally blocked all day, so I had to put a spray in order to unblock my nostrils. I used the spray all day and finally I was addicted to it. I couldn’t live without it. I brought it with me everywhere. I had to go to the doctor and he recommended me to add saline water in the spray and day by day put more water than spray.
It was the solution: Using only saline water I could finally unblock my nostrils.
I explain this to us because I still have a spray near my bed, in my bag, … I don’t need it but I couldn’t live without it.
If I would know how a tennis ball can unblock my nose, ... perhaps today I would have a tennis ball close to me instead the spray.

The best goal I’ve never seen.
Barcelona, CAMP NOU
Saturday 25 th November 2006
7:50 pm. It’s warm. People are coming into the Stadium and getting their place.
Camp Nou is packed.
A voice announces over the loudspeakers: “One minute of silence for ….” People stand up.
During the minute we listen to “El cant dels ocells” of Pau Casals. I get goose pimples.
Immediately it sounds “L’Himne del Barça”. Everybody sings.
The players are in the middle of the football pitch. The same voice says the name of each player and the crowd say “Bé” after listening it.
8:00 pm. The game starts. People cheer their team on. There are commercials around the football pitch. Every few seconds they change. I can’t concentrate in the match. I’m attracted by the commercials.
8:35 pm. Penalty. I can’t see the fault very well. Ronaldinho scores the first goal. The stadium is one shout.
8:40 pm. I smell hotdogs. The bars are doing sandwiches for the break.
8:45 pm. The first half is over.
9:10 pm. Gudjohnsen, with his head, scores the second goal.
9:25 pm. Iniesta: 3-0.
9:35 pm. Barça wins the match. Some people stand up and go away. I don’t like all these movements of people.
9:43 pm Ronaldinho stops the ball with his chest and back to the goalkeeper he makes a “chilena” and he scores the fourth goal. People are standing up.
It isn’t a dream. Ronnie is a star.
