Thursday evening...Friday is around the corner

It seems to have been a full-on week here, even though its not the same number of hours as a fulltime job. We've all had many new people to meet and greet, endless streams of kids to say "hola"to, some kind of tech in tow and such a lot of new sights and sounds to take in. 

In my case, I got stuck on Monday evening at 11.30pm, in what seemed like the middle of nowhere, coming back to Moncada. Beware going out for tapas and not finding a tram to get back...I don't know when they shut down but it is a little scary when 4 come in the direction of the City and there's nothing on the Board on your side.  There was a guy from Uzbekistan even more bewildered than I, showing me a Google translator screen in cyrillic to solve the problem with what he thought was a local ( who wasn't!). 2 taxis, for he and I, took care of it. 

So in my case, the week ends with an Observation session in Oral language, hopefully a catch-up with my tutor and time thereafter to sightsee and relax in warmer temps.  That's something to look forward to:-)

 It dawned on me how little time we have left. We've only just starting hitting the cool cafes around Moncada! But with my third work week officially over, I'm taking the metro home looking forward to the weekend. The need to go souvenir shopping looms ever closer, lest I get massacred by everyone I know for not getting them a small trinket. Although...some of the bazaars around here do sell interesting items...

I like cats and one happy surprise I have come across whilst in Valencia was the abundance of cats roaming around the place. But unlike the cats you come across in England, these guys are less tempted by the pspspsps I make and will maintain at least 2 metres distance with you. That being said, they are fun to come across when you least expect it, almost like little spirits you encounter in your journey. I even saw a cat sized hole in the wall that looked like a little home for cats!(Photographed below) Maybe this isn't the only one in Valencia...

Packing Pandemonium (aka Why I Won't Be Taking my Pig Costume)

They say the hardest thing about planning a trip abroad is deciding what to take with you. And oboy aren't they right! I mean, once you've factored in the bare essentials (hair care products, paisley shirts, maltesers and so forth …), you've hardly any room left over for the little luxuries. So, I'm only going to be taking one book. Question is, which one? I've narrowed the list down to three books with their different pros and cons. For the curious, here it is: The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov   Pro   A bow tie wearing, cognac drinking talking cat. A séance of black magic. It's a love story ❤️    Con I may get so into the book it takes over … All my Spanish money magically transforms into roubles and, unable to buy food, I must starve. Gravity's Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon Pro Never a dull moment. A goodly length. Con I may get so into the book it takes over … I spend my whole stay in Valencia running round the beach in a pig costume, singing di...
