What’s going on outside your window? by Maria Valiente

I love my plants!

2020-04-13 15:34:12 UTC

I'm sitting in my living room and I can see the outside world from my window. I don't have a balcony so this is the only garden I've got.

I like my plants a lot because they give me peace and they add nature to the city.

My mood depends on the day but I'm fine most of the time. I hope this ends soon and I get to see all of you again sometime soon!

A nowadays typical view

2020-04-14 13:21:04 UTC

Today is fourteenth April and we are confined since a month ago.
The only thing that you can do during the day is to try to spend it the best possible.
I'm trying to do some exercise every day, and also to go on with
my learning of English.
I'm not alone at home, my wife and my dog are with me, and that is doing easier the confinement.
Every evening at 8 , we go out to the balcony and we are clapping for about five minutes to congratulate and encourage health workers.
I think I'm lucky because I can go out three times a day to walk my dog and to be outdoor, although it is only for a minutes.
On the other hand I miss my daily routime a lot, and it is being very hard to stay home all day long.
I hope this all finishes as soon as possible.
I wish you all are fine. Be carefull, see you soon.
Greetings

This is the view out of my window, it’s very peaceful here as you can see. I spend most of my time in cities so I’m not used to having so much calm but it makes a nice change, especially given the current situation in the world. I appreciate having a calm space in the midst of all the craziness. Soon we’ll go back to normal and I’ll be back to my normal city life.

Stay safe!

Hi today is 14th of April

Always I have used my balcony for the laundry, but since the confinement started I enjoy it a lot because for the morning I have breakfast with my family and for the afternoon I use it to listen music and at 8:00 I go out to applaud, say hello to he neighbour of the other building and all together sing the song “resistiré” , when it finish we say goodway and see you tomorrow.

Every day I review if all the neighbour are in the balcony or in the window, but if someone miss or he wear a mask I worry for he and I wish he recover soon.

Enjoy every day of little things and if you can show your best smile.😉🤗😁😁

April 14, Republic Day

I am lucky because we have a terrace in our house and we can take the sun and look the moon at night.
Today is the anniversary of the proclamation of the Spanish Republic and the anniversary of my wedding, so we have had a special meal.
I don't can paint in my little flat so I draw , sometimes with a model on streaming, and I upload my drawings to the internet (Instagram : art_in_ledesma)
I am afraid this course is lost, but I hope all of us will be well. I read some poetry in English and I watch Game of thrones in the original version.
I hope we can gather all some day. Greetings for everybody

Good neighboors

enriquegarcia3 — 2020-04-15 17:19:58 UTC

I haven't good sight from my balcony, but now it is our exit to see our neighboors, our plants and to breathe fresh air. It's a little freedom in the confinement.
Every day, at eight p.m. I like very much to see a lot of people in their balconies, applauding and expressing their gratitude to sanitary personal.
I think we are the possibility to have a better world before this.
I like to know good news from my schoolmate.
See you soon!!

ApriI 15, 2020
have never been on my balcony this long since I have to be home for this damn coronavirus.

Every afternoon, when the soft spring sun warms my balcony, I take the opportunity to sit in my hammock and dedicate myself to one of my great passions, I really like to read.

In this inner courtyard we merge with our neighbors every afternoon at eight o'clock in heartfelt applause in memory of those people who risk their lives so that others can live it.

DAISES

2020-04-16 05:31:01 UTC

I wake up every day at 6 in the morning, so I show solidarity with my husband who goes to work.
Then I look out the window and see them sleeping there, confined in the dark. Waiting for the sunrise, patients wait for the sun to bit them good morning.
They give me strength to understand that we have to wait until we are save, energy to b e active every day, and many colors that help me to be happier.
To my daises....... thank you very much !

From my window I see, our small community, under the building there is a small garden with oranges tree. My balconny is very small but I have it full of plants, I like to take care of them, one of my hobbies is to decorate the pots. At moon I read or make the brunch. A hug everybody

My routine April 15th. Today has been a beautiful day because you can see through the window a beautiful imagen and many green trees. Today it has been good temperature. There are nice building of the neighbors and you can see the neighbors who go out to the balconies every day to exercise, listen to music and talk among themselves. For first time I could see the peoples that live in the building of front of my home. They are see that are good people. There is little traffic on the road. Every day in the morning I get up to exercise, I work for a while from home, I study English about one hour, sometimes I practice playing guitar to learn and on weekends I do other activities for example listening to music, watching movies with the people I live with. In this week I start to study the master in the University virtually.

From my balcony I see a square where is a library and a big fountain and normally there were many people and alot of children when they left school.
But now the square is empty,because people must stay home because of the virus that's punishing the world.
I am also at home with my wife and our cat.It's an uncomfortable situation,but we try not to get bored so we do different activities such as learning English,reading,drawing and doing a Little physical exercise.
I hope that we can ruturn to normal soon.

Hello everyone, I hope you are well.
In This confinement in which we are bound for our good, to stay at home, I'm thankful for being well, although many can't say the same and that saddens me.
From my balcony I see the times pass a littler better. If I'm looking for something positive, it is to see that the traffic has decreased because there isn't so much noise. I see few people pass by, some oh them are walking their pet, others are going with the shopping cart. Almost everyone wears their mask and gloves.It is a joy when at 8 o'clock we go out to homage the people who are working to help us this bad dream and take the opportunity to greet us in the distance.
I like to see how the trees have been dressing with green leaves giving shelter to the nests of birds tha with their songs indicate that it's already spring.
Peace is heard...Within the silent and impotent sob but full of Hope.

Then I see my city:
Then I see the view of Barcelona, I think that can be everything that we are doing bad.
Our city has improve a lot, without polution, traffic, stress....
We have reache a point where everything es surpassed, and then the Nature said: STOP.
Stop attacking me, stop hurting me.
I can hurt you too.
I can take away your most precios assets: LIFE, FREEDOM, LOVE.
And it has doing.
I hope that men can learn this lesson and join to change the political, social and environmental injustice.

From the livingroom Windows you can see as mall Garden at the entrance of the home and the street.
In the back, through the door we see a beautiful garden where we spend time reading, listening to music and talking when the weather is nice.
Everyday I go out with my daughter for a walk in a beautiful park next to the home. In Germany isn’t forbidden to go out, only that you can’t meet with people with you do not live.
I have a totally contracdictory feeling. On the one hand I’m very happy with my daughter ( since she came to live in Germany, I had not been with her for such a long time ).
On the other hand, I have never been away from my wife and my son for so long....hapiness is never complete.

HOPE by Alexis Valdés
When the storm passes
and the roads are tramed
and we are survivors
of a collective shipwreck
whith a tearful heart
and fate blessed
we will feel happy
just for being alive
and we will give a hug
to the first unknown
and we will praise luck
to keep a friend
then we will remember
all that we lost
at once we will learn
everything we did not learn
and we will not be envious
because all will have suffered
and we will not be laziness
we will be more compassionate
what is everyone's will be worth more
that I've never achieved
we will be more generous
and much more committed
we will understand how fragile
what it means to be alive
we will sweat empathy
by who is there and by whom are gone
We will miss the old man
who asked for a kiss in the market
we didn't know his name
and he was always by your side
and maybe the poor old man was
your God disguise
you never asked his name because
you were in a hurry
and everything will be a miracle
and everything will be a legacy
and we will respect the life
the life was we have earned
when the storm passes
I hope we improve
as we had never dreamed.

From my balcony
Hello everyone. I must say that due to the Alarm State, and being confined, every day at 8pm, like most, I go out on the balcony of my house to applaud all those people who work for us. Here I put a photo that, as you can see, I have no neighbors in front, but good views.
Of course, you can hear the clapping noise from neighbors who don't see each other.
Antonio T.

2020-04-18 17:34:32 UTC

From my window I can see my neighbor's buildings and a little field. The thing that I the most is the big tree, it makes me feel like I am a little away from the city.
In this part of the house we can see the sun all day until 7p.m.
I also can see an abandoned house, that is very old.
This field used to be a building some months ago it was very big but they had to shut it down because it was useless, nobody lived there and it was nothing in there neither .
I can see a little bit from the streets also from here but my favourite part is that I can see the sky.
It is not a big view but I like it, I can have my breakfast watching and hearing the birds in the morning.

2020-04-19 08:46:10 UTC

Good Morning
From my window I see the terrace, my plants, flowers and the trees where through them I see my neighbours in fromt when I go outside to applaud the people who are working and helping all of us who need them.
The days are long and hard so you have to be motivated and the feeiling don't sink me, so to avoid myself a little I'm ordering my photos an remembering happy moments live with my family.
The days finished at 8pm with applause and my last memory and prayer of hope is always for the people who are dying and their families who can't fire them.

Through my window

2020-04-19 10:48:48 UTC

Hello everyone!! I hope you are all well in view of the current situation which is difficult for everyone.
As you can see, there is not much to see through my window except for a lot of cute cats that are usually always watching, cats are homeless so some neighbors are usually feeding them and in some way taking care of them even though they are not have a home.
It is clear that I do not have the best view than only neighboring buildings, however the fact of being able to interact with cats makes everything more enjoyable for me.

FROM MY WINDOW

2020-04-19 11:54:20 UTC

My window is an open door, to hope, life and dreams.

In the background on the left I see the dome of the Church of Sant Andreu de Palomar, those basilicas of Rome and Florence have always reminded me. It represents my brave, adventurous traveler side.

In the background on the right is the start of the Sierra de Collserola. Here my love for nature and mountains is represented.

Here in front I have my trees with big nests, it represents the side of my home and my family.

Under my window there is a small walkway with a fountain and at this moment flowering trees.

Today through my window comes the relaxing and serene sound of the rain that floods my house with freshness and the smell of wet earth.

Today is a day for nostalgia, inner peace, creativity, music and poetry.

Every day is different from my window, but it always makes me happy.

Outside my window, nature keeps on with its incredible transformation. In the street, I can hear alone the rain, the wind or the birds' song. I still can't differentially the kind of bird what they see: "cotorretes", "pit-roig", "merles", "cueteres",

And since four weeks ago, I only hear this. Well, It's not entirely true. I hear also some buses.

And every day when it is the eight o'clock p.m., it hears one party of clapping and song for the health-care workers.

And this feeling of emotions trough the trees and connect the two neighbourhoods, Sant Andreu and Bon Pastor.

Isabel Herrero

From my balcony

2020-04-19 16:45:40 UTC

First of all, I hope you are all well.
What I see from my window is beautiful, I have a school just in front of a kindergarten, buildings where the hope placed in all the students that start with one of their first responsibilities, that of learning and that they are not yet, is formed. aware of its importance. From my window I also see a large group of trees that hide a park and that in turn function as a small lung of the neighborhood in which I live. The days, all of them, are usually hard, especially in the mornings when I go to work and come face to face with the enemy that has us locked up at home. The way to cope with it is thanks to the music and to leave at 8pm to applaud everyone .
Cheer up everyone, a hug

How can I help you?

2020-04-19 17:05:10 UTC

Every morning I looked through my window , only for a few minutes I see my neighbors playing with your children, talking with distance each they since your balcony and the young people ask if you need anything.
Since we are in alarm status I go at work on foot, and I have seen how the people keep their distance between them, but also I see how another people not respected it. I try to clear my mind about as a result of your mistake when they touch the wall in the street without glove and set your hand on the surface, smoke with glove than they had using, the worse, oh my god!!! was when an old man put your cigarette on a shop's blind for after smoke it. I can't to silence, I offer him one advise.
So I arribe at my job. I prepare: I put on my mask, I wash my hands, I put the job's clothes often I must clean the surface that day I am going to touch and finally that I clean the phone. When you call I said, How can I help you? And I will listen your problem. I really try help you. Since that day, during two weeks, the people lost many friends, parents... They are scared and they had a lot of asks. We had many calls a lot of nurses and doctors, they needed sick leave. I could only hear how they cried, most of them were women and those are who go out for as every day.
The truth is that staying at home works, it is too a hard faith . Yes we can!

Today is April 19th, a month and five days have passed since the beginning of the confinement. I can see from my window many buildings, the roof of a house where there are always cats that come to my window to ask for food haha, there are around 13 cats!😅
Every day at 8 p.m., my family and I applaud in appreciation of the doctors and nurses who help everyone. I already want the day to come when we can see our families and friends.

Rainy days are like before

2020-04-21 16:18:39 UTC

From my window I have seen the arrival of spring, she does not know about viruses or laws.
The silence catches my attention, interrupted sometime by distant telephone conversations, which I hear perfectly and by the singing of the birds, which dare to get closer to my window every time without caring about my presence.
Sunny days continue to invite me to go out but those desires become gymnastics or hard cleaning but rainy days continue as before, inviting to stay home, read, listen to music, reflect and dream of the sun.
Teresa Alfaro

Outside of my window.

2020-05-18 15:38:09 UTC

outside my window, the views are clear, you can see the sky, the trees you can also hear the birds singing every morning and a few meters in the background you can see an industrial estate and the mountains.
