<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Basque community in Bristol is increasing every day. Some come to Bristol only for a weekend, others escaping from the awful job market in the Basque Country, while a few are settled down in Bristol.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a class="image" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Euskal_Herria_Europa.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="Location of the Basque Country"><img alt="Location of the Basque Country" data-file-height="700" data-file-width="815" height="215" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Euskal_Herria_Europa.png/250px-Euskal_Herria_Europa.png" width="250" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For those who don't know who the heck Basques are and were they are from, here is a brief explanation. The <b>Basque Country</b> is the name given to the home of Basque people in the western Pyrenees that spans between France and Spain on the Atlantic coast. The region is home to the Basque people (</span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Euskaldunak</span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">), their language (</span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Euskara), </span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">culture and traditions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">These days, there are many Basques around the globe for many reasons and in order to maintain their traditions and culture, many <i>Euskal Etxea</i>s (in English, "Basque Houses") have been created all over the world.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In order to create a centre-point for Basques and showcase the Basque culture to the British people in the South West of the UK, a group of Basque people officially presented the <b>Bristol Basque Cultural Society</b> (<i>Bristoleko Euskal Etxea)</i> last month among friends with a traditional filling Basque lunch: black beans with </span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">sacramentos </span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(meaning ribs, chorizo, black pudding, etc.). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The charity is organising a <b>Mus Tournament</b> next 7th February and celebrate Carnivals at the same time with a<b> Carnival Costume Competition </b>at The Crofters Rights, Stokes Croft.<b> </b><i>Mus</i> is a traditional card game originally from the Basque Country similar to poker (more info <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus_(card_game)">here</a>). Details about the event will be posted in the following week in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/609346609114447/">Facebook</a> page as well as on the website. In advance, I can say there's gonna be a course for beginners to learn how to play, food will be provided and there's gonna be real prizes for winners!</span><br />

We are back!<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's 1st January 2016. I found myself writing new year resolutions on a piece of paper, which I never do, and I couldn't but include one I am fully ashamed of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">It's been months since I haven't written anything on the blog. It is so out-of-date and abandoned that I have been ashamed of coming back. My only excuse is that I just had been incredibly busy to write, and whenever I had some spare time, I did not have the energy to spend it writing. What a shame!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Nonetheless, I have added "keep the blog updated" next to "eat healthy" and "practice more sport". I have some topics and events in mind already, I just hope you join me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">So, I would like to wish all of you a healthy and fulfilling 2016! Speak to you soon!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dismaland </b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">is a temporary art project organised by world wide known street artist Banksy. It has been built at the Tropicana, a disused outdoor lido in the seaside resort town of Weston-super-Mare, England. It opened doors on the 21st August with only door tickets available after the website crashed when visitors attempted to purchase online tickets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We are not sure whether it crashed or Banksy deliberately did not activate the online purchasing system creating a chaotic reaction in the social media. Dismaland, which is a sinister twist on Disneyland, does not have any image of Mickey Mouse, yet other Disney characters such as Cinderella and the Little Mermaid are very present.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The show is a very well thought, intelligent but sarcastic exhibition with many artists being involved. You will find yourself laughing at things you </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">probably </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">shouldn't laugh at.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tickets are only £5 which might suggest that Banksy does not want to make big money out of this show. However, food and merchandising accessories are incredibly expensive inside! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have heard that the third batch tickets were</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> sold out in 15 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For those who have not got tickets yet, I really encourage you to keep pressing F5 in the next release as the exhibition is worth it. Meanwhile, you can enjoy our pictures! ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Are you a quiz lover? If yes, this is the post for you! We have gathered information on pubs and bars in the city centre organising a weekly quiz, including price to take part, jackpot price (if any), day of the week and area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Monday</b> is the favourite day for quiz. The earliest quiz starts at 7.30pm in The Beer Emporium, where you can win the biggest jackpot of the day (£50). Traditional Gloucester Road pubs such as <i>The Flyer</i> and <i>The Wellington </i>also organise weekly quizzes at 8pm and 8.30pm respectively. Close in Cotham, quiz at The Hill starts at 8.30pm with a £25 jackpot. Quizzes around Clifton start at 8.30pm in the <i>Alma Tavern </i>and at 8.45pm in The <i>Eldon House</i>, both with £50 jackpots. Both the<i> Barley Mow (</i>Bedminster) and the <i>Grain Barge</i> (Hotwells) start their quizzes at 8pm with £16 and £20 jackpots respectively, <i>Stag and Hounds</i> starts at 9pm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On <b>Tuesdays</b>, best is to go to the Old Town area. The <i>Famous Royal Navy Volunteer</i>, with the incredible jackpot of £100, arrange a weekly quiz at 7.30pm while the one at <i>Mothers Ruin</i> in St Nicholas Market starts at 9pm. In the last one, apart from having the chance to win a £100 jackpot, they serve free food. We have been there and we had loads of fun! Read <a href="http://greatlittleplacecalledbristol.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/quiz-night-and-free-food-mothers-ruin.html">here</a>. The<i> Bank Tavern</i>, also in the city centre, has a quiz that starts at 8.30pm which unfortunately has no jackpot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Park Street is also a good area to go for a quiz on Tuesdays as <i>Bristol Ram</i>, starting at 7.30pm, has a £100 jackpot, and <i>The White Harte</i>, very popular among students, starts at 8.00pm with a £40 jackpot. Finally, <i>The Brass Pig</i> at the triangle starts at 8pm with a £45 jackpot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Two quizzes are organised in Clifton this day: one at the <i>Coach and Horses</i> and the second in <i>The Vittoria</i> (both at 8.30pm). In Easton, the quiz at<i> Chelsea Inn </i>could be your option at 8pm, where it is free to participate but there is no jackpot to win either.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On <b>Thursday</b>s, the <i>Three Sugar Loaves </i>hosts a quiz on Christmas Steps starting at 9pm. It is the most expensive quiz of all, though (£2) and there isn’t a jackpot either. If you live in St Pauls, <i>Surrey Vaults</i> has a quiz at 7pm with a £40 jackpot, and in Cotham, the quiz starts at 7.30pm in <i>Cotham Porter Stores</i> (£50 jackpot). The other option is to go to The Ship Inn in Gloucester Road to try to win a £50 jackpot at 8.30pm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There is no quiz on <b>Friday</b> or <b>Saturday</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And the only quiz we know of that happens on <b>Sunday</b>s happens at 8.30pm in <i>The Cambridge Arms</i> with a £50 jackpot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It’s £1 to participate in all of them except for the few exceptions mentioned. There is a very useful map on this website (click here) which show the pubs with quizzes on a map, filtered by days. Have a look and… let me know if you win a jackpot!! :)</span><br />

Today, 6th July 2015, it's official day for the Shaun Trail in Bristol but I have been able to spot some of them during the weekend!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All 70 Shaun sculptures, which have been created by artists, designers and celebrities, will be guarding Bristol's corners until the 31st August. Then, they will go to auction to raise funds for <b>The Grand Appeal </b>and <b>Wallace & Gromit's Children</b>'s Charity, supporting children in hospitals accross the UK.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">If you haven't already come across with any of them yet, go for a walk around Bristol and I bet that you will spot at least one in less than 5 minutes.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This year, I will try to take a picture of all Shaun the Sheep sculptures and post them here. So far, I have 7 of them. Do you think I will managed to take pictures all of them? Place your bet!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3000011444092px;">The clock was installed in 1822 showing the local time in Bristol. As Bristol is located 200kms west to London, sun rises and sets about 10 minutes later. Therefore, Bristol and London did not have the same time. Having such different times was common until the arrival of the railway and the introduction of new means of communication.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
</span><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3000011444092px; text-align: justify; white-space: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3000011444092px;">It soon became apparent that an agreement would have to be reached on exactly when trains arrived and departed. Bristolians needed to know when the trains were running. Thus, began the concept of Greenwich Mean Time and an extra hand was added to the central clock. Therefore, each station would have two clocks: one showing the local time (black) while the other hand pointed to "Railway Time" (red).</span></div>

</span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3000011444092px; white-space: normal;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3000011444092px;">Today, nobody uses "Bristol Time", of course. Bristol officially adopted railway time on 14th September 1852 but the red hand is still an interesting remain of past times.</span></div>

Festival</b> on Sunday. It is a food festival which happened between
26-28<sup>th</sup> June this year, and as a novelty, it has been held at the
beautiful Clifton Downs instead of the Harbourside.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As recommended by the organisers of the event, we took the bus to get to The
Downs, and our invitations were waiting for us at the ticket office right at the entrance. Two days earlier I was lucky enough to win a couple of day tickets in a competition at the blog <a href="http://lifelessorganised.com/">A Life Less Organised</a>, which I am very thankful for. ;)<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Ginger beer, cheese, chocolate, chilli sauces, special oils an vinegars... Nonetheless, we</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> also filled our shopping bags with some </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ruby Mist</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> cheese from the </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Snowdonia Cheese Company</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (one for £4; three for £11); chocolate from </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sciolti Botanical Chocolates</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (£4), biscuits from </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Sawley Kitchen </b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(Offer! £1.50), although there were plenty of other tasty things we could have bought!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We stopped for lunch, which was a tasty rib-eye sandwich (£8) at <b>BoyMeatsGrill</b> and a glass of great wine (£4.50) at the <b>Rioja</b> stand, and continued with the route once our stomachs were full. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There were many </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">events for</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">adults</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. I have been told that each ticket got you access to one of
the events on each stage but on Sunday, probably because the weather was not in
favour, there were many seats available except for the wine tasting event,
which was very popular.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nonetheless, it is not a festival for adults only. There were many <b>activities for children</b> as well. Starting from cookery classes to bouncy castles and slides, kinds can also have a lot of fun! However, only
cookery classes were free: face painting for example cost £3.50, and the bouncy slide wasn’t free either
(£1).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On our way out, we were given a set of freebies including a nice Stella Antois chalice, Chupa Chups bubble gum, a can of energy drink and some tea. Brilliant!</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 21.3000011444092px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am sure all of us know somebody who has beaten cancer, who is fighting it, who has lost the battle... or who sadly didn't even get the chance to fight it. That person might be a friend, a family member, a colleague... or it might even be ourselves.
</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 21.3000011444092px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Either case, as my mom says, cancer is nowadays a common disease; 15 million cancer cases were diagnosed in 2013. It has always existed, but now we have a name for it, a diagnosis and many, many cases. A year ago, when my father passed away, I started investigating on my family tree to learn how my grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great grandparents died, and I discovered that many of them died of cancer too.

<span style="line-height: 21.3000011444092px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 21.3000011444092px;">Recently, researchers from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York have achieved to reduce a large melanoma tumour in a 49-year old woman's chest with a new treatment; and researchers from the Case Western Reserve University have announced that they are a step toward turning the idea of using a new drug to regenerate damaged tissue into reality. One day, I would like to open the newspaper and read that somebody has found a vaccination to prevent the cancer. However, we need to do our bit in order to make similar discoveries happen.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 21.3000011444092px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With Father Day's coming up next Sunday, I thought it would be a good initiative to raise some money for those friends, family members, colleagues (or even ourselves) who might face cancer in the present or future.

People born in the UK are assigned a NIN shortly before their 16th birthday, but people like me, coming from abroad, we need to apply for it to the Department of Work and Pensions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have applied for mine this morning and I am going to share with you how the application process works.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first step is to <b>apply for a NIN</b> by calling 0345 600 0643 from Monday to Friday (8am-6pm). They will ask you some details such as your name, an address, telephone number, how long you've been in the UK, why you need a NIN, your nationality, if you have double nationality...</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Schedule the appointment</b> with the Jobcentre representative. Depending how busy the Jobcentre is, the appointment could be the following day... or in a weeks time. When I first called, they scheduled my appointment for the following day. I told them I could only make it on Fridays and they didn't have any slot that week. I was told that appointments were given week by week and that I should call the following week to schedule the appointment. However, I am not sure if this is entirely true because when I called the second time, we agreed to schedule the appointment in a weeks time. NOTE: Write down the reference number in case you need to reschedule the appointment.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The appointment </b>will be at the closest Jobcentre to where you live. The one in Bristol city centre is at the Eagle House, 16 St Stephen's Street (BS1 1JR). The offices are open Monday to Friday (8.30am-5pm) and you will have to go to the second floor. There, you will be called by one of the agents. You will be asked to provide your passport and a proof of address (a utility bill, for example) during the interview so make sure you bring it. They will also ask you for all the addresses where you have lived during your time in the UK, so remember to bring them too. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You will <b>receive your NIN</b> at the address you have provided within two weeks. Make sure you don't lose it!</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My appointment was at 8.30am but do not arrive earlier as the Jobcentre will be closed. It was the best excuse to have a coffee at the beautiful coffee-shop opposite the Jobcentre. At sharp 8.30am, door opened. Personally, the process of applying the NIN was a very fluent process and the agent was a very kind and friendly guy. I haven't received my NIN yet so as soon as I have it, I would be able to certify that it arrives within two weeks. Bear with me! :)</span></div>

There is also coffee available, supplied by Bristol roaster Brian Wogan (Latte £2.40; Americano £1.80), Clipper Teas (£1.50-1.75) and many fresh juice options (£2-4).

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This morning, out of curiosity, I stopped by the Full Moon Market. I always find a very talented artist selling her/his crafts and this time it was <b>Sanbra.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Inspired by the Ghanaian culture, Sanbra mixes African styles and colours with European fashion. The beautiful orange bracelet I got today is a proof of that. My bracelet is made of genuine fabrics from Ghana (£10) and it has an adjustable chain to fit your wrist perfectly. I am very happy with my purchase! :)</span></div>
