Letting the team down

It’s been just over a week since my last Spanish lesson of the year and I have not picked up the book once.

I have not conjugated a single verb, in fact all I’ve really done is read the Spanish part of the Robbie Burns menu and I really don’t think that counts!

I am about to go to the beach for 9 days and so far I haven’t even packed my Spanish folder either – its just too big!

However, I have packed Hemingway’s The old man and the sea. And I’ve also packed a book by Jonas Jonasson called The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared which I think is about the Spanish Civil War (I hate reading the blurb of books in case it ruins the surprise).

I’m also packing a few of my Spanish travel guides (yes, I have a lot) so that I can finally plan this holiday!

So overall, I think I’m fully booked reading-wise. The Spanish homework is going to have to wait until the New Year.

I’m looking forward to my first Christmas with my partner of almost 5 years, my first Christmas away from family and my first Christmas as head chef of Christmas lunch.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy festive season – wherever that may be.

Feliz Navidad, Prospero Ano y Felicidad
