In an era marked by screens, artificial intelligence, and hyperconnectivity, more and more people are dedicating part of their free time to manual activities such as ceramics, embroidery, crochet, furniture restoration, or clothing making. This phenomenon, known as DIY (Do It Yourself or “Do it yourself”), has ceased to be an activity exclusively associated with specific generations to become a widespread practice among people of all ages.

Reality is stranger than fiction, or at least, it's capable of matching a scene from everyday life with a sequence with a surprising ending. It happened this summer, in a village in the Pyrenees, at the beginning of a placid afternoon. A child riding a bike whizzed around a narrow corner, causing a corresponding scare to a neighbor who bumped into him and, apparently, knew the child. The woman admonished him, without shouting, but very seriously, in this way: "Be careful with the bike, because if you run over an old lady..." I'll leave the sentence there. How could I continue? "Could you hurt her badly? Could you kill her? Will the Mossos d'Esquadra and an ambulance come?" Well, no, the warning was: "Be careful with the bike, because if you run over an old lady, your parents will have to pay a fortune.""lots of money in the old lady."
