Inca Cola

Yesterday we went to the zoo in Fuengirola. We saw crocodiles, flamingos, birds, turtles, chimps, tigers, fish, dears, cockroaches, snakes, meerkats, porcupines, hogs, hippos, gorillas, leopards, orangutans and a tapir.
It was fun.

Last night we went to the feria internacional de los pueblos. It’s a festival with loads of different bars from around the world. There is music and food and clothes. We went in the Irish one first to meet some friends, then on to the Peruvian one where I had an Inca Cola (yum!) and in the Vietnamese bar where we ate sticky rice, spring roll things and cat kebabs (god knows what meat was on the kebabs but I think I should have given it a miss!). The Indian bar had lots of smoke wafting out of the door, the Bolivian bar smelt really badly and the German one was playing awful music. I wanted to go in the Polish bar but Michael said the women were too ugly. They didn’t have an English bar. I wonder why?

Onfriday night we went to La Cala to watch the Easter Parade. I had watched quite a few from Sevilla and Madrid and big places like that on the tv already, but we thought we should do something spanishy and have a look.
It was the most bizarre thing i have ever seen. It was getting dark when they started and we were all crowding around when we hear a bell ring. Then this really morbid trumpet music starts. The first man in the procession was carrying some flag thing and a few men (everyone in purple robes) wearing those Ku Klux Klan hats. They are enough to scare anyone, until the old crying distraught women all in black lace with a black vail follow. Next is the huge float carried but the men, displaying Jesus on the cross, and lots of candles, followed by the ladies and their masive model of The Virgin Mary surrounded by even more of candle.
Its so odd to see people crying and displaying their faith in such way. The wierd music and the ku klux klan hats made it even weirder.
If you get a chance to check some out on the net take a look.

Oh, and guess which idiot forgot to take her camera

On friday i went and got myself a needlestick injury. I was trying to put the lid back on a used irigating syringe but the needle was bent so it wasn't really working. So i pushed a little bit harder and it went straight through the plastic lid and into my thumb. it bloody hurt becuase it was a proper injection needle for your arm, not a thin one for your mouth.
It wasn't used to give an injection but for washing out a root canal so im hoping i have less chance of catching anything, but we'll see. Im probrably going to go to the doctor and get a blood test and then my Hepititis B jab.
So i spent all of friday worrying about that, then we got beat at darts. Sat i cleaned up a bit, took some dounuts to Holly because she was working, so i thought it would cheer her up, and wached half of a film before Micheal came home and whisked me off to some bbq.
The peoples house where the bbq was was crazy. it was an old spanish villa but some of the decor was a bit dodgy. So we ate and chatted and stuff, then one of the girls got this big bong out, called a shisha pipe. It comes from the middle east and they have cafes where everyone sits around and smokes it. After comfirming that there were not dodgy substances in it, i had a go. It was nothing like smoking a cigarette. The tobacco (which apparently has no nicotine or tar?!) is mixed with fruit and its not directly burnt and the smoke goes through water first so when you get it its all nice and light and fruity. And it looks cool! I have put a picture up so you can see but im sure you have all seen one before.

Soy Tonta!

I did the stupidest thing today. I went to get petrol for my bike after work, pulled up, opened my bike, picked up the petrol thingie and the realised that i hadn't unscrewed the cap off the petrol hole. So i threw my keys in in the bike, filled up and as i turned round the seat slammed shut and i realised my keys were inside. Gay!
Anyways this bloke was waiting to get in my space so i thought i should move the bike while i figured out what to do, exept the lock was on so it would have only gone round in circles!
After getting no reply from Michael i phoned Holly who said her and her Dad would come help but they had just ordered tapas so would be about 10 mins. God i was so embaressed just standing there.
Eventually i plucked up the courage to ask the petrol station guys for help (Tengo una problema, me llave es adentro me moto y no es posible abre o movil. Ayuda por favor!) I think they understood becuase they came out with a big screwdriver and said the only way to open it was to bash it!
After a bit op prizing and wiggling they managed to open it with no damage.
Wohoo, im off to get a spare key made!

Procrastination

I know i should be doing my homework. I just spent ages looking up words like Cyantosis and Paraesthesia in wikapedia. I thought they would be really complicated but it turns out they are the technical terms for going a bit blue and having pins and needles.
Now i can't find my dental textbook so im using it as an exuse for mucking about on the net.
I got my homework back for the first module last week. I got the second hightest mark for both essays. ' a very good performance of merit standard'. I told Isis i am going to sent an apple with my next essay and hope for top marks. yes we did have to explain the whole teacher/apple thing.

Apart from working i have mostly been reading Harry Potter. I finished it this afteroon. It isnt the best one but i had fun reading it. I even considered taking it in the surgery so i could read a bit when the doctor was fannying about.
I had to have impressions of my mouth taken last week so i can get a splint made. Its like a mouth guard and you wear it at night to stop grinding your teeth. I was really scared of having impressions incase i gagged loads but it was ok. At least i know whats its like for the patient now. Im going to keep the models of my gob and put them on the mantle piece!

So, apart from that its just sweat, sunburn and bbqs. I think summer is a coming!

Lo Siento

Im really sorry to everyone that i haven't really been in touch with the last couple of weeks, mainly lorna and Jon and mum dad and will who i have only chatted to a bit.
Its been pretty hectic at work and im bloody knackered. I haven't had a six oclock finish for a few weeks. I have a million things on my to do list and haven't done any, exept read and sleep. Anyways Holly is back at work so it should get easier and i have ordered a new dance workout dvd so hopefully i should have a bit more energy to write loads more emails! (lucky you!)
Have lovely weekends and ill write again soon
xxx

Wow its been nearly a month since i last wrote. Thats really bad isn't it, sorry guys!
So, whats been going on since then? Mum and Dad came to see me. Fortionaltly the flying experience wasn't too traumatic for Dad and he hired a car and we explored parts of Spain i had never seen before (really Spanishy bits)
We ate out at lots of scummy spanish cafes and one very posh restaurante, for Mums birthday. I ate swordfish.
YumYumYum.
We drove around these little weenie winey mountain roads and saw the most amazing views. Its so wierd here, beause you drive over the mountains and its all rugged then sudenely it drops into these flat plains that go on for miles and you can see so far over them. occasionally there will be a big rock just sticking up in the middle of nowhere.
We went to Tarifa too. Its the most southernly point of europe. You stand on the beach and you can see Africa right in front of you. T be honest me and M were a bit dissapointed with Tarifa. I didn't think the beach was that nice and it was really tacky. Its always the same, you get a really beautiful place with amazing views, and when you turn around there is some crappy ice cream van and a load of tourists.
Hollie said we missed out on a some ruins and stuff and that its better in the summer.
I looked at Africa through dads binoculars and was really dissapointed. I thought i was going to see morrocan guys with turban things and pointy buildings but it just looked like Spain.
We also drove past a really bad accident and i saw a dead guy in a mashed up car but it made me feel sick and sad so no more about that.

This week has been has been tough. Hollie is away and im bloody knackered. My back kills from bending over patients so much and we have done implants twice in one week. The implants were cool though. If the patient has enough bone, instead of opening the gum up and everything you just drill traight through the gum and bone and its done. No blood, no stitches. Wik!

We just chopped up trout and cooked it and ate it. It was good.

So,I just spent all day watching tv. The weather is appalling. We are just sitting in a big cloud and its pissing it down. I finished watching Bleak house which was good and sad and then i watched the grainy bits of Master and Commander. Films Rule.

Ive been checking the postbox every day for about 2 weeks, waiting for the first part of my Dental Nursing course to come through, but with no joy. Then, on friday a huge parcel was delivered to the clinic for me! I have read this months work already. Its about my role as a dental nurse and stuff. The homework looks fairly easy, but im guessing it will get harder!

This week has been nothing unusual. Made my first cake for Milies on friday, but they forgot to sell it (!?)so they put it out today, but i don't think it will go because today is the first day they are doing roast dinner, so everyone is going to be too full to eat it, including me.
They put big yorkshire pudding in it and being really cackhanded some flew off my plate. I thought it was pretty funny but i recon Michael was kinda embarressed.

Managed to go out last night and not pole dance. I have been laying off the alcahol since my last exhibition, so last night it hit harder than usual. I came home at about 3 in the morning and tried to make a cup of tea, then got hickups and laughed continuosly at everything for about half an hour. Beats crying of falling over i suppose!

Oh, i learnt the Spanish alphabet last week, it goes like this.
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Haaahaahaa

Urgh, saturday morning hangover again. I wouldn't have been as bad if the barman in the club had put some lemonade in my Malibu and lemonade. There are certain disadvantages to knowing the barman.

This morning i dragged myself out of bed at about half eleven to make a Birthday cake for Sonia. I forgot it was her birthday yesterday so i will take her a cake today. Its coconut, cherry and malibu cake, with Happy Birthday Sonia written on top in red icing and lots of those little silver balls. I hope it will make her laugh!

Ive been so tired this week, its been a real struggle getting back into work. Now they have the new doctor we have more patients so i seem to be working 10 till 8 with no break. I can take a break but to go where and do what on my own? There seems to be loads of gaps with no patients too so the days are just like years. It gives me more time to read though. im re reading all the Harry Potter books, im on number four at the moment.
This week we had to make the order of dental stuff. i think its my worse job at work. I spend ages finding out what we need, checking out all the catalogues, finding the best prices and specials offers and stuff. Then isis comes and takes over and speaks in Spanish and her and holly finish it all off, Its so irritating. If i didn;t sort it all in the first place it probrably wouldn't even get done. Isis is making me speak in Spanish now becaue she says i can and i will learn it in 3 months. She is probrably right about that.

Isis offered to pay for me to go to an exhibition in Madrid about dental products, so that i have an idea of whats out there and what products are new. Unfortionatly its when Mum and Dad are coming over, but in some ways it will save me some money on flights and hotels. If it were just me gonig i get a shitty cheep flight and stay in a hostle but i guess thats not what Isis and Walfrido had in mind!

I worked with the New Doctor for the first lime last week. We spent two and a half hours on one patient! Oh dear. I tryed to help but didn't want to cross the line, being only a nurse. oh well, we'll see! Im still waiting for the first part of my course to come through. hopefully it will get here next week.

Oh yeah, Valentines Day was ok, i made dinner for Michael but as i didn;t get home from work till about 8.30 we ate at ten oclock. It tasted good though. He eventually bought me some flowers (the day after Valentines Day) They are really beautiful, all yellow and red. They look like lots of little sunsets.

Right, Harry Potter calls and so does the cleaning, but im pretending i can't hear it.

See ya xxx

Nice cup of tea and a sit down.

Well it was good to see you all last week. I did more sorting of banks and discussing my future than having a frivolous holiday, but lifes not a laugh all the time right? Still it was nice to go for a walk without going up hill, and to sit around chatting and drinking tea.

I very nearly missed my flight back to Spain, but being one of the last to book in gave me the advantage of getting one or the last seats on the plane, an extra leg room seat! With no one in the two seats next to me!

When i finally found the station (they moved the road) i went to Fuengirola and got a pretty expencive taxi home. Holly has been staying over and keeping me company till Michael came home last night. We mainly ate loads of junk food and watched films in bed.

Work has been ok, a new Doctor started yesterday(good of them to tell us in advance!). She seems nice enough. She is also Cuban but has been living in Zimbabwe for the last couple of years, so she speaks English with a crazy African accent. She probrably thinks i am mad considering Walfrido gave me the new copy of Good Housekeeping and i danced around the clinic. She told me yeasterday i had to relax around her. Maybe they havent told her im the one with the short temper who shouts at doctors and breaks expencive things!

This week i think i will mainly stay in bed nursing my cold( its now in the coughing up lots of phlem stage, but at least after 3 days my right ear has unblocked and i can hear again, hallelujah!) and watching films and reading books. And drinking tea!

Have fun peeps xx

Another Sunday Hangover!

I am ashamed to say i have spent another Sunday nursing a hangover (good job im a nurse). (I am not an alcaholic in case you are wondering, i do not think about alcahol when i wake up and usualy don't drink on week days.)Yesterday was a good day. Michaels parents were over and the took us go carting. I got lapped twice but Micheals Dad and once by M and his sister. I could hardly reach the pedals though, i had to ask for a cusion!

Then i went to see Memoirs of a Geisha, which was really good. I was a little dissapointed because although they had stuck very closley to the book, its just wasn;t half as good. I would recomend reading it rather than watching.

Then we went to the pub and i drank a little too much and danced on the stage on my own(around a pole infact but i much to emmbaressed to tell you!) and forgot to keep an eye on how much M's sister was drinking and ended up looking after her for ages whilst she was very sick (Sorry steph!)

So today ive mainly sat in bed feeling rough and watching Pennies from Heaven.

Sorry its a short one peeps but ill write more when i feel a little more alive!

Sun at last! We have been treated to 2 days nonstop English weather. It just hasn't stopped pissing it down. At least we might not get our water cut off all summer now.
This week hasn't been amazing, I have been having really bad headaches everyday, and massive jaw ache. So, i asked Isis to check it out and she says i have a problem with my occlusion, which i knew, but worst of all, i might need my wisdom tooth extracted. AHHHHH
She said right now its just moving about in my bone, so i can take pain killers and wait for it to stop but if it gets really bad i should get it taken out because its sideways so it will just grow in to the tooth next to it. Bastard!
Its going to be a big surgery thing becase its almost totally in the bone so they will have to cut the gum and drill through the bone and stuff.At least im only ever going to have i wisdom tooth. I think its almost worse for me because i can picture exactly what they are doing!
I hate the dentist!

Last night we watched 'The assasination of Richard Nixon'. it was nothing like what i expected. It was really really sad all the way through. Sean Penn was really good. its wierd seeing him play a bit of a pathetic charecter. Its worth watching though.

Thats it really, might make some cake later. Bought some hair straighteners and did implants yesterday.

This week i am being very culinary. I made apple pie and today i am making soup, because its mega rainy and cold and misty and stupidly windy.
Today is bank holiday. Every spanish person is opening presents and eating big feasts of Spanish delights. Im dilly dallying about the house drinking cold cups of tea(why do i always seem to forget i have made a cup of tea till its cold?) and tidying things up. I think its pretty funny that whilst the Spanish are eating big legs of ham and celebrating Los Reyes Magos (epiphany, three kings blah blah) we are all taking down our christams trees and saying 'well, thats christmas over for another year'.
In fact i can almost hear dad saying it now as he battles to get the christmas tree outside using as many swear words as possible. I took the decorations off our tree and then took the top of the tree off and tried to fold all the branches up. I got stuck then, i don't understand artificial trees. Im left with a normal tree exept for the top part which has all the branches stuck together and pointing up!

Just wizzed my soup in my new superdooper blendy thing.

We have been watching Long Way Round where 2 blokies go round the world on motorbikes. Its well wik and funny. Everytime i see any pictures of Monglia i really want to go there. Its such a crazy place with huge flat plains of nothingness and mountains round the edges. Not sure i fancy the testicle soup they were eating though!
I am thinking of doing 'Travels around Spain on a scooter'. Once i have the light working properly and the clutch fixed and the brakes have stopped squeeking i think ill be ready to go. It might take as long as going round the world considering its illegal to use the main road on a 50 cc!

I have been doing lots of resurch on courses for the National Certificate in Dental Nursing. I think ive figured it all out. There is a corespondence course that Bristol Uni does. Its all tailored to you and how long you want to spend on each module and when you want to take the exam and stuff. You also get to go to the uni before you take the exam and do some days on exam tecniques and practical stuff and a mock exam.
I was hoping to do it without Isis knowing but apparently they want contact with the clinic you are working at and stuff, not that they will understand eachother, but that might be good for me.
So i think it will be really hard work, especially as i will have to do it all on my own with out teachers nagging me, although you do have homework. Maybe this time i will manage to pass my exams!

Well, unfotionatly im working tomorow, straightening peoples teeth out (i knew that karate would come in usefull) Have a good weeken peeps and see you all at the end of January xx

Cactuses and clocks

Aw, christmas is all over now . It all went very quickly. Christmas was cool, i had a really bad hangover and i sat on the sofa all day while michael made me dinner (i did make the gravey!) It was yum and i got lots of cool presents, like a big food prosesor with lots of wizzy bits on it and some purfume and a cactus and a crazy see through alarm clock. Im afraid i didn;t manage it to the beach but michael dragged me out for a walk around the block to look at the building sites.
Last week was pretty busy at work becuase Holly had to work in the other clinic. Friday was just stupid with emergency patients, they just kept coming. It was kind of nice to be working on my own again. I quite like it when its really busy and i have to do everything. It makes the day go quicker and it feels like ive acctually done something, rather than sitting around waiting for patients and cleaning instruments, again.
Last night we went to Milies for their new years eve party. It was weird at first because there was a real mix of people and not many that i know, but after a few drinks i was well away. We celebrated 12 oclock twice, once in spanish time and once in english, which i think is compleatly silly!
So, today i scooped up all of my stuff into bags and dumped it all at michaels house. I have a ridiculous amount of stuff. Where did it all come from, whats it all for? I think i will have to start throwing stuff out because there is no room here for it. Then i cleaned up and broke a few things in Jennies house and now im knackered.
We have a bank holiday tomorow and friday (there are certain advantages to living in spain, i think they have more holidays than working days!) so i guess ill be throwing stuff out.

Happy new year everyone!

Feliz Navidad y Prospero Ano Nuevo!

Wow, Its been a while. Micheals computer totally spudded up and he had to ring some number and give them a ridiculously long code before we could do anything with it.
Last weekend was cool, Lorna came over and we shopped and drank and ate icecream in the cold and dark whilst wakling down the pier at banus. It was cool.
This week has mainly been spent waiting for christmas. I finally got Michael his presents and made biscuity things for the people at work( they said they looked like i bought them, brownie points for me! Brownie, gettit?). I even managed to send christmas cards! I got away lucky this year too because Michael has pretty much organised everything, and paid for it. I have put myself in charge of making the stuffing and the mince pies, which is pretty easy because im the only one who eats mince pies so i only have to make six. Ive never made pastry before though, its sitting in the fridge cooling down and waiting to be rolled with my new rolling pin.
I managed to find a new top to wear out on new years eve so im attempting to slim into it by then. Thats hard when my house mate just bought us a box of fera jaques (ferrero rocher for anyone who isnt familiar with Paddick speek). And they are all for me becuse M doesnt like them. And He has promised me champagne for breakfast!
Anyways i plan to go to the beach on christmas day just becuase you lot can't (yeah it is windy and raining but so) i might leave my bikini at home though.

Well have a super christmas everyone, drink lots and be merry!
Lots of love cyd x

You will meet a tall hansome stranger...

Despite really not looking forward to it, me and Michael went out for my works Christmas do. I thought everyone was going to be chatting away in Spanish and id just be sitting there asking for translations all night but fortionaly Walfridos two sons didn't come so I was also spared an evening of watching all the other women flirting with them.
Anyway we went to this Greek restaurant in fuengirola, in fish alley. They ordered a big mixed thingy for 8 people so we got loads of homous and yummy salad and mankey cold baked beans and weird fish egg things and stuff wrapped in spinach and yum big slabs of feta and pita bread. That was starters! Then we got loads of meat balls and kebabs and moussaka and rice and weird slug vegetables. Walfrido ordered this big leg of lamb, it tasted nice but was mega chewey, then he ordered a whole one for himself!. They kept plonking stuff on my plate and making us eat it all. Then we drank some horrible coffee and got our coffee grains read. I was very skeptical but the guy said some pretty interesting stuff.
He told me I was a teacher and people learnt stuff from me, that I had my feet firmly on the ground but was very insecure but for no reason. That I am on a different wavelength to my partner , and only one man has the key to my heart, that next year will be hard work but I will know where I am heading.
Vamos a ver!(get you Spanish dictionaries out!)

Anyways I worked till nearly ten on Friday. Then went to play darts. I lost my game, yet again, but Michael says I keep getting better. The club down the road re opened so we went down there afterwards and drank lots and danced about and stuff, which obviously led to a late morning on Saturday. I swam 30 lengths, does that make up for it?

Today we drove for an hour to go to the supermarket. We went to Gibraltar. Everytime I go there a can't believe how skanky it is. Anyway we went to safeway and bought Christmas things and nice bread and things that are expensive in Spain. In Spain they eat big legs of cured ham at Christmas.
Now we are going to eat pork and apples and vegetables and potatoes.

I think next week will be full of buying presents and maybe making a few mince pies. Then Lorna is coming to stay so I shall have to think of something to do with her. Hope your not all to depressed about Christmas yet.

Toodle pip peeps x

Harry Potter V Batman

Iam faced with a problem because I was going to tell you all about the new Harry Potter film I saw today, but I have just finished watching the new Batman film and I want to get exited about that too, so im going to bore you with both.
Are you sitting comfortably....

Harry Potter was wik wik wik wik wik!
It was all dark and exiting and there were dragons in it and it was all dangerous because someone got killed and I nearly cried and Voldermort comes back as a man and tries to kill Harry and Harry sees his dead parents because he is wik and there was magic and blowings up and swimming under water and moving trees and lots of lights and I had to pee in the middles of it so I missed a bit and Harry had lots of nasty nightmares and watched people on trial for being deatheaters and someone cut his own hand off.......breath......

Batman was wik wik wik wik wik!
There was lots of fighting and blowings up and nasty men with hallucinogenic drugs and they set fire to his house and he had a wik batmobile and flew around wearing a cool batman outfit and it was all dark and dingey with lots of rooftops looking over a dying cityshots and I needed to pee in the middle again but we put it on pause so I didn't miss anything and the badie was some crazy ninja blokie and some homeless guy killed batmans mum and dad and that's why he is batman and he flew about lots and there was a man in a scarecrow mask with wiggly worms in his eyes and stuff and........breath......

Wik wik wik!

A Royal Visit!

This weekend I had a royal visit, (hence no blog, sorry peeps). Her majesty and her majesty's mother came to stay.
It was a cool weekend, we pottered about looking at rich peoples boats in Benelmadena, and ate lunch in Malaga, despite the waitress getting the order completely wrong( and don't blame my Spanish, she was just thick, bloody foreigners). We also bought a big tray of Spanish cakes and ate them all! Yum!
Thanks for coming over Mum and Nanny!

I guess I should fill you in on last week first.
I won my first game of darts, got a complaint because ' I have a bad attitude' and 'lost my temper' with a patient, Spend an evening sobbing all the way through watching 'The Downfall' and spent a whole day at work reading my book till I finished it.
Im now reading The War of Don Emanuels Nether Parts, just to shut dad up (no, I won't admit im quite enjoying it). But don't tell Will because he has been nagging me to read his epic scifi book for ages. Its on the list buba!

That was about it for last week. This week I am going to spend every day at work writing out fifty million Christmas cards for all the patients whilst getting more and more exited about going to see the new Harry Potter film on Saturday.

WIK!!!

Big Waves

Firstly an apology for the lateness of my blog entry. Sorry!

last week was pretty much like any other, full of rotting teeth. (not mine!), followed closely but Implants on Saturday morning. Its was a bit yuckie because she had loads if infection, so loads of blood, which at one point became a little overwhelming and I was thinking, what do I do with it all?!
Anyway we pulled five of her teeth out, bunged six implants in and stitched it all back up again, only to find out today that the silly woman went shopping for 12 hours afterwards. This is after we told her about a million times not to do any execise or get any sun and stuff after the surgery. She was a very strange woman. IM not having to much luck with patients recently. I had some silly pretentious idiot who couldn't understand why the price of living in Spain was so high when she would only buy imported English food, and some know it all old taffer who thinks IM thick because IM only a nurse, "I've had teeth for a long time darling". His superior knowledge of dentistry is obviously proved in the fact that his teeth are falling out and mine are not! Raaa!

Anyways Friday night was darts night, I lost my game but I played ok I think. All darts matches have to be held in little 'local' pubs, where there is so much smoke you cant see the dart board, and you have to walk past everyone while they murmur "local pub for local people' .Strangely they all have turned up noses.

So after work on Saturday I went home and slept and ate pringles in bed and watched a program about the new Harry potter film (wik wik wik). Me and Michael were going to go out and eat, then go for a drink, but we ended up getting take away pizza, drinking orange juice and going to be at 11 o'clock to watch some shitty film with Eddie Murphy. (am I admitting this?). We know what makes a dangerous night!

Anyway Sunday is much more interesting. I moaned because I wanted to go somewhere, so we tried the cinema but there were no English films on, so we went to fuengirola to watch the waves. They were huge! The weather was wired man, it was all misty but quite warm, and the sea was so rough. We stood on this big sea wall and the waves were crashing right over it.
We went home to get cameras and drove down to Cabopino, where we sat on the sand dunes watching surfers till the sun went down.
Then it was beer time so we watched Michaels work friend and his band play and I drank beer and ended up having crazy dreams about fridges full of bottles of water.
It was a good Sunday.

Food

This week i broke a personal record of staying at work late. On Monday i got home from work at 11 oclock. Which was nice.
I did get half of tuesday off though, in which i made treacle sponge for a guy down the pub. He couldn't wait to get home to eat it so he went next door to the shop and got some custard and ate it there. Apparently i got an 8 out of 10 and a 9 out of 10. Every time he is drunk he goes around telling everyone i am an amazing cake maker blah blah yada yada... When i start making cakes for the bar everyone will be expecting pineapple and pasion fruit roulade, and all their going to get is a sponge cake!
I fnished the lovely bones this week, it was good, but a bit weird. can't remember if i told you but it was about a girl who got murdered, but its written from her perspective in heaven. It isn't religious atall. Its worth reading and definatly more deserving of being called a best seller than White Teeth was.
Anyway the other thing i wanted to tell you about was these really nice things they give you at the chinese restaurante. They are wall nuts covered in caramel type stuff with sesame seeds on. They are Lush.
And i bought a new blue tv yesterday to put in my room with my dvd player, so i can spent all night watching The Two Towers in bed coz its on tv tonight.
I rule!
