In the first post I didn't get around to explaining the name of this blog. The first word, blijdschap, means "joy" in Dutch. My grandfather taught me the term, using it on at least one occasion as a nickname for me, because my middle name is Joy. The second word is the Spanish for "Madrilenian"; hence, "Madrilenian joy." Or maybe "Joy in Madrid." Take it however you like.
I like the idea of having what I write here come from a place of jubilation. That's what I hope to record and share with whoever reads this: wonder, delight, joy.
