Donde vivimos han dejado de entregar el periódico algunos de los días de la semana, y tenemos que imprimir las crucigramas de la versión de Internet en esos días, como no es posible hacerlas excepto en papel. Y ya no hago el sudoku esos días para no malgastar demasiado papel ni demasiada tinta.

Where we live they have quit delivering the paper on some of the days of the week, and we have to print the crosswords from the Internet version on those days, as it is not possible to do them except on paper. And I no longer do the Sudoku those days so as to not waste too much paper or ink.
