   • 2015, Ivo Delgado Rivero, ¿Con quién se acuestan las manzanas?:

     Hace unos meses todo era un sinsentido, salía de una relación con Alicia y no conseguía olvidarla, también me quedé sin trabajo y me pasaba la vida remoloneando del sofá a la cama y de la cama al sofá.

     A few months ago nothing made sense, I was coming out of a relationship with Alicia and I couldn't get her off my mind. I also lost my job and was spending my time loafing about from sofa to bed and from bed to sofa.
