WHERE IS EVERYONE?
 
You can tell the suns come out in spain and the rains back in blighty. You're all off sunning yourselves and us in uk are now sat bored at our computers waiting for a bit of gossip!:sneaky:

I've been popping in and out all morning in between this and that here in a very sunny beautiful Chiclana. Going out to lunch soon as we are saying bye to the brother in law to day, thought we would treat him yet again for all the great work he has done for us over the last 10 days. We have done his wife a great favour for having him here for so long but sadly for her he has to go back home:rofl: ;)

we have lovely weather here at the moment, but between four trips to school & back, supermarket, washing, tidying up & ironing, - oh & teaching - there's not much time to enjoy it!

see - family life here is much the same as in the UK just warmer......but roll on those lovely long summer holidays & I get time to enjoy it with my girls

I have been busy catching up on work today. I have just popped upstairs to check my emails then its back to work. As soon as I have finished which hopefully will be in a couple of hours, I am sitting outside in the shade (its too hot in the sun) and having a nice cool Cruz Campo :beer: :beer:

its funny people in England assume your life here in Spain is somehow different from the "norm" isnt it - but with kids and work its more or less the same anywhere - but WE GOT SUNSHINE :thumbup:

I made the mistake of getting friendly with some spanish school mums, now the afternoons are spent at various houses eating big spanish lunch, watching them slowly get pi***** and watching the children run around. ( i sit and enjoy my sin alcohol beer) My spanish is really coming on, and I have the discovered the international language of relaxation! I can understand most of what they say and join in with lots of 'tambien' , 'si', 'mi gusta', and other generic spanish phrases.

adios

love

Hi Mary

I'm so please that everything is falling int place for you, watch those big Spanish lunches because you will be looking like me before long:p

What a difference this post is to the ones you were making a few months ago about being bullied and certain people making you un-happy. :D :D lots of smiles for you, have fun and enjoy this life.:wub:

hi julie22 went to tequela at gleadless do you know it? where abouts in sheff did you live? Food was quite nice but had to be up at 7am for work today so wish i'd took the car and not bothered with any lager or wine:frown:

Re: WHERE IS EVERYONE?
 
Ah Jeanc, remember the feeling well, having to get up and go to work!!! probably like everyone else counting the years, months, and days until I was finally free.

Originally from Beauchief, so quite near Tequila (but never been). Brave of you to drive on a Thursday night, something I could never have done when living in Sheffield, too much temptation to ditch the car, get a taxi home, then have to find the damn car on Friday!!!
