Last weekend we bought a dinner table. We have eaten dinner on it everynight. Michael even talks to me while we have dinner(despite telling me not to expect any extra converstaion just because we have a table), and we drink wine and eat like civilised people. Its great.

So far we only have 2 chairs but we are hoping for another 2 in the future.


This week has been pretty much the same as most weeks, a few aerobics classes, a few spanish lessons...
On monday i started teaching a little spansih girl english. I was alot harder than i thought, unsupprisingly she didn't really want to learn english so we just chatted in spanish and she got all her teddies out and we tok photos of them with her plastic camera. I have found a dvd of Mr Men stories so im going to take them round for her to watch tomorow. I'll enjoy them too!

I have found out about a hygienist course starting in September, it is 40 hours long and will enable me to work as a higienist anywhere in Spain. The only catch is its all in Spanish! So from now on i guess i will be studying harder at my spanish!

Although after friday maybe i would be better going for a dentist course. We had a lady come in with about three quarters of a front tooth lef and as there was bo doctor around, i did my best to sort her out . ( i had asked permission from both the patient and my boss first!) She was very pleased and asked why i wasn't training to be a dentist.
Its always nice to get a compliment!

This weekend has been one of those lasy ones. Yesterday we did the shopping and then Holly came round and we went buy the pool for a bit in an attemp to get a tan (a bit difficult for Holly as she has her arm in a cast). We made some fruity chocolaty peanuty biscuits,

and mucked about on the internet.
Today we did some tidying, Michael fixed the hoover and we went to the video shop. Since then we have pretty much laid about on the sofa.
Sometimes you just have to have a lazy weekend right?

This weekend has been good, yesterday we went to a bbq for michaels boss' babys first birthday. There were quite alot of Spansih people there so we got some spansh practice.

In the eveing we went to the Feria de los Pueblos.

We ate pork from chile, samosas from India, beer from Japan,Smoked fish from finland and more beer from poland. I say beer but it was more like treacle, and it got me drunk and gave me a hangover, though what better way to cure that than go back down this afternoon and eat sausages from finland and a huge coctail from the canaries made of water melon, rum and banana liquer?!

The music in India was so loud you couldn' t hear it, and the Japanese dancer looked more like a cheerleader, but there was more than enough peruvian pan pipers to keep us entertained.

It was fun.

Then i came back and sun bathed for a bit an did 10 lengths in the pool. Yep, the first one was freezing.

No work tomorow.

Enjoy your bank holiday!

At last, we have the internet at home again. Though it wasnt easy, i had to ring the help line about 5 times before we could get it to work. A test on my Spanish, although perhaps the fact that it took 5 attempts is saying something.

Mum and dad were out last week, the weather was really good and we did lots of looking at things. The botanical gardens in Malaga, the Zoo, velez-malaga and a very long drive in the mountains in which we saw a circus school?!

We ate so much spanish food i could hardly move.

This weekend is the feria de los pueblos, we are going tonight i think, depending on if michael ever gets home from work!

I was back in england a few weekends ago, it was good spending time with everyone. We did lots of cooking, Me and mum made fresh pasta from the eggs 'the girls' had laid that morning, and me and Jon made bread, special bread that doesnt need to be cooked in a tin!

Ill try to take some good pictures tonight
