Saturday 14th – Went out for a walk and sat in the
sun. Read Mockingjay again because I’d gotten it on ebook before my kindle
broke and now with my kindle had been replaced.
Sunday 15th – Lazy day.
Monday 16th – Went with Jenna to Jaen to see her
wedding dress and so that she could get it fitted. It is gorgeous. She will be such a beautiful bride in
August.
Tuesday 17th – Found out that I was going to be a “judge”
for the Cultural Olympics. General good
times in the school.
Wednesday 18th – Jenna came up for her
dinner. We were both laughing about the
daft things our schools were getting us to do.
I had been volunteered to be a “judge” for the Cultural Olympics. She had to go to Madrid and give a
live-action demonstration of the bombing of Guernica inside the Reina-Sofia art
gallery…she wins.
Thursday 19th – Cultural Olympics! This turned out to actually be fun. We had to check the quiz answers that the
kids gave us and whittle the groups down until there was only one winner. The questions were in all sorts of categories
based on what they should have learned in class.
We all got given wee presents for our part – I got a t-shirt
and a sun dial. Alejandra asked Moises
if he’d explain to me how a sun dial works….we just exchanged looks and
laughed…I had to explain that yes we have enough sunlight to make sun dials
work, oh Spanish people!
After it was over we all went out for drinks and
chatted. Fali kept doing mimes and since
I laughed at them he has taken to doing one whenever I see him.
Friday 20th – I was given my first hour off
because I’d been at the Olympics…and the rest of the day passed without
incident. I had been re-thinking trying
to go home the following weekend for my dad’s birthday and managed to find a cheap
enough flight to justify it. Problem was
I’d need to miss and hour of class in order to get to Malaga in time. Thus commenced three long days where I had to
wait for a teacher to get back in touch to confirm or deny this.
