Happy Christmas

Merry christmas everybody!
We are in sevilla still, we got up and opened some presents, i got a pink jumper and a starwars badge. then we went to find some breakfast but the only place open was a patissarie, so it was tuna sandwiches and hot chocolate.
We overlooked the fact that everything would be closed for the last two days so yesterday we watched a film in a cool little old cinema and ate kebabs for dinner as it was the only restaurante left open.Today looks similar.
its really beautiful here and feels all christmassy because its bloody freezing (for us!)
Last day tomoro, down to ikea for some new curtains then back home for a big christmassy dinner and some more presents!

Hope your all having fun and eating way too much

Love cyd x

Christmas Conundrum

It hasn't been a great start to the day, but ill start with yesterday.
Yesterday started with a cold shower! The element in the boiler had broken again, it was painfull. When i got to work i found the water had been turned off which is a right pain when you spent most of the day cleaning.This morning there was just a miserable dribble coming out of the taps so worse than a cold shower i had no shower, then i found that my washing hadnt been washed in the machine which i need for going away, then i spilt and broke a glass of orange juice (last drop in the carton) and realised i had no bucked to mop it up in. And now there is still no water at work. Things can only get better right?
Anyways its the last day of work before christmas and im getting exited, we are driving up to Sevilla tomorow and the weather is supposed to be good!
I hope you all liked your "countdown" christmas cards. As Jon rightly pointed out glitter glue does not stick to shiney paper, why didn't any one tell me before. Oh well, i hope you all manged to stick the letters back on in the right order, yes the answer to the christmas conundrum was

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Have a good one xx

In an effort to give myself more energy i have resolved not to go home and sleep in my siesta but to do some exercise! Therefore im quickly eating soup from a tupperware box and writing this before i go for a walk. I acctually have a few christmas presents left to get too. Then i will probrably come back and sleep on the waiting room chairs. The problem with this clinic is tha tthe chairs are not as comfortable as the massive leather sofas in the old clinic.
Im going to visite Isis tomorow and bake her some fruity shortbread pillows (an interesting variation of mince pies i found in a cook book) .
Last weekend i went out for hollys birthday #2. it was good, i got a bit drunk and came home at half 4. i was greated with, You smell, from an asleep michael. I then spent all of saterday feeling pants, not helped by being dragged out of bed earley to go food shopping, eargh.
Michael crashed his dads car yesterday so as you can see our luck is really getting better, fingers crossed for getting to sevilla!
Im might try to make the house look christmassy at the weekend, my pionsettia just isn't doing the job.

I acctually did something worth telling you about lastnight (ie i didn't just stay at home watching films). It was Hollys birthday yesterday so we went for a meal, it was cool, i had really yummy vegetable lasagne and they bought out a massive chocolate cake for Holly and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday (rather her than me!). Fortionatly there were some other english speaking only people there. Ileft them drinking stange but tasty and very alcoholic cocktails in a bar. I an going out with them on friday too so there may be more tales to come!
SO i had to get a life to work this morning as i had let my scooty at Hollys, meaning it was an hour and a half early for work and i even had an hour to spare after eating cake and hot chocolate in a cafe. Admittedly i had to walk around for a while till i found a cafe with not only men in. I have nothing against men but a whole cafe full, especially spanish, ones can be a bit intimidating!

Well the suns up so i had better do some work
