The limousine parked in front of my building and we hurried towards it, as always when you want to look a bit handsome and time disappears while you work in front of the mirror. Inside, our friend and some of her friends were waiting for us. All organised to celebrate a special birthday driving around Barcelona in a limo with a fridge full of cava. Time went by and the other day at another event (a kind of christening) I met up again with two of my friend's friends, who turned out to be the cousins of another friend (it's a small world). They told me that they would soon be moving to a new house and that they have to rent their flat in Gracia. And they showed me photos and it became clear to me that I was looking at a house that, without having gold taps, had several real luxuries. Because gold, limousines and canapé parties are frivolities compared to sunlight, air and silence.
