Censos electorales antiguos

Un poco por casualidad he encontrado los censos electorales de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX de El Toboso y de Alhama de Aragón. Ahora falta conectar las piezas del puzle.

In Retrospect: A Year of Wanderlust, Learning, and Achievement

I asked Bard to rewrite my previous post and I have to say I do like the result. It makes my year so much better!


As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting upon the past twelve months, a tapestry of experiences both familiar and novel. Initially, I pondered the swift passage of time, questioning whether I had accomplished anything of note. Yet, as the memories trickled back, I realized that the year had been a whirlwind of events, each one etching itself upon the parchment of my life. 

My travels took me to far-flung corners of the globe, from the ancient streets of Segovia to the bustling markets of Valencia. The highlight of the year, without a doubt, was our spontaneous voyage to Japan, a land of enchantment and cultural vibrancy. The memories of that journey will forever remain etched in my mind, a testament to the power of adventure. 

 My photographic endeavors flourished, with my mobile phone serving as my faithful companion, capturing fleeting moments of beauty and emotion. My Canon 400D and first SLR, a Canon EOS300, also played their part, preserving the essence of each scene. However, it was the collages I created that truly ignited my passion for photography. These intricate assemblages of images, meticulously crafted with my own script, became a visual symphony, each piece complementing the others to create a harmonious whole. 

 My yearning to learn new things persisted throughout the year, fueled by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to expand my horizons. I devoured books, delved into online courses, and even picked up a new skill – table tennis. While my athletic pursuits may not have reached their full potential, my intellectual pursuits flourished. 

 My professional life took an exciting turn, as I assumed the role of Chief Product Owner Digital Business Solutions. This new challenge demanded long hours and unwavering dedication, but the rewards were commensurate. The trips to Derby and Stuttgart were particularly rewarding, allowing me to showcase the innovative products we were developing and receive the plaudits of our colleagues. The icing on the cake was the RR internal Trusted to Deliver Excellence award, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. 

 Of course, not everything was perfect. There were moments of frustration, challenges that tested my resolve, and trials that demanded my resilience. But as Michael Ende wisely observed, these are stories for another time, tales that will be recounted in the hushed whispers of reflection. 

 As I bid farewell to 2023 and welcome the dawn of a new year, I do so with a heart filled with gratitude and a spirit brimming with anticipation. The future beckons, a canvas upon which I shall paint my dreams and aspirations. May the coming year be filled with new experiences, challenges to overcome, and triumphs to celebrate. Let us raise a glass to the year that was and the year that is yet to come, for it is in the pursuit of the unknown that our true potential lies.
