Porno

Hi everyone.

You may have heard more from me in recent times than you wanted. My email was hacked and a LOT of pornography was sent out. Maybe you enjoyed but if not I'm sorry! I have spent today apologizing to a lot of people, including my mother, little sister and some students. They took it well.

Other than that Madrid is good! It's been a very good few days at work thanks to England scrapping past Spain on Saturday. The Spanish are shell shocked and I can't say I blame them. I have been gloating a little but as they point out I agreed with them that Spain would win comfortably before hand. More on the game on the other blog. It was a more footballing weekend than normal last weekend as I scored my third goal of the season and more joyfully I actually got to watch Charlton in the pub. It was wonderful, we won 4-0, love you Charlton. Other than football Madrid is gripped by election fever. On Sunday they go to the polls and I'm told the Spanish version of the Tories (PP) will win by a landslide. PP's headquarters is on the same street as our school so there has been lots of people shoving stickers and leaflets into your hand everytime you go past. A Spanish election is a lot less intrusive than an English one, if it wasn't for PP being on our street I'd be barely aware of it.

Everything has been pretty rock n roll recently. Went to see a choir on Saturday as my friend Claire was performing. It was really good, we all got to feel very cultured sitting in a beautiful church listening to songs in Latin. It was all a little over my head but it sounded good. I was back on church on Sunday and as after our service they were holding a Remberance Sunday service, which the British Ambassador and a few high level army guys were attending, sniffer dogs were brought through in case we had planted any explosives. We hadn't.

School has been pretty normal. This is the first week for three weeks I have had to work five days a week, it's been a shock. Spain loves bank holidays and wonders why its even more skint than we are. I have one problem kids class when someone came to observe to try and work out a way to get them focused, only for her to walk in and for all the kids to behave like angels. I have been very lucky with classes generally. My adult classes are great.

The term is flying, home in no time.

love love love x

I still haven't gotten mine. I feel left out.
