Thank you very much Carmen. No, I haven't read it but I will 🙂
In this sense, at home we keep the day each of our children was born and bound in one volume, the three newspapers with the largest circulation, another one about sports, a magazine about technology and another about the heart. It hasn't been long yet and when we review them at home we remember a lot of things that happened in those days.
Regards!
