Babble

Sometimes we try to get involved with community things and go to village meetings. Maggie goes to her staff meetings of course. We laugh about it. Four Spaniards, five conversations. It can be isolating. It's like going to the pictures. With a romcom where one person speaks to another we keep up fine. James Bond on the other hand, where critical information is passed as 007 is being chased by lots of baddies, lost cause.

I was just watching a gossip show on the telly. Two women were arguing, they were both speaking non stop but it wasn't like two British politicians shouting each other down on the Today programme. The Spanish women kept moving the conversation along despite the never ending stream of high volume words.

I'm not sure we'll ever learn that.
