Demolitions Expert!
I've just emerged from the cloud of dust and mounting pile of rubble in my kitchen to write this update. It's three o'clock in the morning and I've just finished removing wall tiles from a quarter of the kitchen. Only God knows what possessed me! I arrived home from my job at the bar at 2am and thought, 'I know, I think I'll see how easily the tiles come off the wall', as I knew that was a job to do as part of my kitchen renovation. Well, I was so excited to get the first one off and to see how easily each consecutive tile fell off the wall that I just kept going! I only stopped because I should be getting some sleep but I'm so pleased with myself for getting the job started that I had to stop and write a bit before bedtime.
If you've been following my blog you'll know I was feeling homesick earlier in the week. Well, today something happened to make me tell myself 'be patient'. I was looking at the calendar at work and counting the days until my daughters visit and decided to count backwards to see how long I've been in Spain. When I realised it's only just over ten weeks since I arrived in Alcala la Real it put things into perspective. I keep wanting to feel at home, have brilliant friends like in Rowhedge and feel that someone out there loves me. Well, I know I've never experienced that in ten weeks of living ANYWHERE in the world before so I shall have to give myself more time here!
I know it's not like me but I'm going to keep this update very short as I want to get out of bed at a decent hour to hopefully meet with a teacher over at the college where I'm now hoping to accept the part-time job they've offered. Then I shall be back dismantling the kitchen!
