A big update
Ok… So I haven’t updated this blog for way too long… and it is time to fill in the gaps.
Last time I posted (before today) was during the Euro2008 championships… which (and you may have spotted this) Spain won. Jumping in the city’s main fountain was also good fun.
The euphoria that spread throughout the country during the weeks after was indescribable. It makes me wonder what would happen if England won a major tournament… A win of this style does wonders for the country in terms of moral and kids interest in sport.
The rests of June was pretty uneventfull wth only the weather to talk of. The famous Spanish sun started to appear and weekends and spare afternoons seemed to equal a trip to the local outdoor pool (which probably explains a lack of blogging activity).
The end of June/start of July saw the end of the school terms and a reduced workload with regard to teaching, whilst this break from was welcome sometimes, the lack of work has meant cash has been a little tight. Vicky and I headed off to Madrid to check out Spain’s capital, and I was very impressed. A trip to the Bernabau, and the worlds oldest restaurant combined with being away from Valladolid and spending time with the lady was ace. One interesting point… going to Madrid in summer to learn Spanish to me would seem pointless… as everyone we met spoke English… and most were American.
My Birthday was very uneventful with a record low ‘haul’ of two dvds… but that being said I did have a nice day (and a wicked curry) and would like to say thanks to all those who texted, facebooked and sent cards.
Since then… well not a lot has happened. Vicky has gone back to the UK for a week and I have booked flights home for the 15th August. Thats the update just about complete… I wish I had something more exciting to add.
Love Nicko
