Sunday 13 July 2008 The film of the night was Ghost Rider, which could've been an alright film, but the quality wasn't great, so it was a bit of a strain to watch. I didn't really get the ending though - why couldn't he have just taken back his ghost riding power?? Hmmmm.... Monday 14 July 2008 We watched All The King's Men, with Sean Penn playing a hick - he was soooooo hard to understand! Again I fell asleep halfway through. Tuesday 15 July 2008 My evening class students asked when the last lesson was - 18th December. They said [View Full Entry]

Sunday 6 July 2008 To make up for the lack of exercise last week, I did 3 videos today. Feelin good... Watched the rest of Mononoke Hime, which was good, then proceeded to watch more Dexter. Alex is REALLY getting into it. The opening credits always make me hungry when he cooks the pork, then I spend the whole episode thinking about eating pork... So I went to bed feeling a little hungry. For pork. Monday 7 July 2008 Didn't have a very good night's rest - woke up early morning because my feet were really itchy. No, I don't have [View Full Entry]

Sunday 29 June 2008 After 4 hours sleep, I didn't really feel like doing much so closed all the windows and doors and drank lots of water in the air conditioned flat. Definitely in no state to exercise... Monday 30 June 2008 Today's the last lesson for one of my classes and only 2 students turned up - one of whom had to leave after 30 minutes for the dentist! So I had a 1:1 for an hour. I thought they could've at least made an effort on the last day, so when I got home I wrote up the progress [View Full Entry]

Sunday 22 June 2008 My god it's hot!! Had to put the A/C on today because it was just too much to handle. Not even a little breeze. Alex still played footie though while I did my exercise videos in the comfort of the air conditioned flat. Monday 23 June 2008 We ate a mediocre dinner of tostas which turned out to be a piece of bread (albeit very nice bread) with some stuff on top. Kind of like an open sandwich, and I ordered some patatas fritas and got a bowl of crisps! Celebrations for Sant Joan down the beach [View Full Entry]

Sunday 15 June 2008 Tasha and Drew came round to drop off a plant at our's and we went to the Japanese buffet down the road for lunch. The waitress accidentally spilled Drew's coke on him, to which he responded by jumping up rather abruptly and looking like he was going to hit someone. Funny for us, not for him. Monday 16 June 2008 I only had 2 people in my evening class today - the women. And one of them kept taking phone calls during the class. But I had a kit-kat as a prize for the activity, so at [View Full Entry]

Sunday 8 June 2008 Flat cleaning day, oh joy. Kyles came round for dinner, as Alex was supposed to be going out to watch the footie, but he ended up eating at home, which meant that we had to SHARE all of the nice sweets that Kyles brought for dessert. Which was OK I suppose - there were 2 lemon meringues and a nice chocolate strawberry creamy custardy thing. Yum. We then made Kyles watch Omid Djalili, coz he's frickin' hilarious, and she left to catch the last metro. Monday 9 June 2008 Couldn't sleep very well last night so pretty [View Full Entry]

Sunday 1 June 2008 It's no longer my birthday month :-( but it is Alex's so happy days. G's last full day here before he flies back to London tomorrow. As Alex was playing footie, I did some exercise then joined G, Tasha and Drew/Dru for some table tennis. There were some little kids on the table so we waited a while then Drew/Dru offered them EUR 2.00 for the table!! They took it. So we played a bit, but not properly - otherwise I would've laid the SMACKDOWN! Dinner was booked for 21:15 at a French restaurant so relaxed for [View Full Entry]

Sunday 25 May 2008 I finally did some exercise today!! About time - it's been a month or so and I feel very unhealthy... It was raining today so Alex said he might not play football - surely if you love doing something, it wouldn't matter if it was raining? I challenge his “love” of football... Monday 26 May 2008 Got woken up at 08:00 this morning - a whole hour before I was supposed to get up!!!!! The flat downstairs is being done up so the builders started drilling and making lots of noise so we couldn't sleep :-( Not [View Full Entry]

Sunday 18 May 2008 Managed to get up with only 3.5 hours sleep and walked down to the B&B to pick up my moisturiser that Rich had borrowed. And to say goodbye of course. The owner - Ana - was nice, and we had a short conversation in Spanish, in which she asked for my number after I told her I was an English teacher. Maybe she'll have some work for me... Walked up to Diagonal metro to hail a taxi, and saw the boys off. All in all a good weekend, and I appreciate the effort they made :-) Monday [View Full Entry]

Sunday 11 May 2008 The rain has finally stopped!! :-) It's still really windy though, and the fencing around the terrace is coming down because it's been done oh so well. Unfortunately everything's closed so we can't buy any cable ties to fix it with until Tuesday. Grrrr. Monday 12 May 2008 Local holiday today - Easter Monday. Yes, that's right - they have Holy Week (a whole week!) off in March, then another day in May to celebrate Jesus. So everything's dead again and it's not nice enough to go to the beach... Tuesday 13 May 2008 My first lesson [View Full Entry]
