Mostly windows

Early into the village today, after a day watching the windows slowly take shape. Despite not speaking a word of Spanish I managed to convince the workman to take the glass out of the window before trying to smash the frame out- then had to show him how ![]()

Other than that, not a lot to report- was too hot again to sleep well and for me, at least, to swim and lay by the pool so I sat in the middle of the confusion and read. I stuck with the textbooks on teaching for as long as I could but reading them is very tedious, like a novel with a very obvious plot- I always know what they're going to say. It's quite reassuring. I know they will ask whether anyone has teaching experience next month so I worked it out. It will be a bit embarrassing to say about thirteen and a half thousand hours paid and another eight hundred while training, with a total of about four thousand students but...

nero kindling while rome... whatever!
Anyway, Rachel, really looking forward to you coming over, so here, for you is Pinto (who is very camera shy and a big worrier for a dog) and Magik, who is a fairly bog-standard cat- she can be a bit fussy but mostly not.

Wendy is playing at a fiesta today on the way to Torre del mar, which I don't envy at all, marching up and down in this heat. It's apparently such a small village, with no facilities, that I chose to stay and help with the builders rather than go down. Another missed photo-opportunity maybe.
