It’s Boxing Day and my immediate thought is that Christmas is over, this isn’t quite true however; there’s still New Year to come! This is a great thing, but I am slightly worried that it could end up like Christmas day. All I can say is that I can’t believe how close we’re getting to 2008 now, time is flying by far too quickly; goodness only knows how quickly university will pass. This holiday doesn’t seem to be flying by though, you can’t always get what you want I guess.Our local friend visited today and made some of her ‘famed’ pastry things. Don’t tell anyone, but I don’t really like them, I think that they look like dead bits of skin and they taste just as bland; I’m not meant to be saying this though, how could I? She seems to think we’re all so deeply and madly in love with her exaggerated ‘local charm’ that it would be a good idea to pop round maybe three or our times a day; just to say hello. My uncle loves it and yes, she is a nice person and so is her husband; this is why none of us have the heart or the tact to tell her to sod off. At Christmas time it’s not so bad because I’m only here for a week, but in the summer when she comes round that often for a whole month; you start to wonder if she actually does anything else…
Anyway, we’re meant to go to Spain for the day tomorrow, to Zaragoza, I hope it happens; I need a change of scene.
