TGIF

I know that must sound absurd when I'm not working for 9 months but lessons this week were quite a jolt to the system. I enjoyed class today as it was more practical and less technical, we even played boggle. The Norwegian team won, followed by us (now known as equipo Sud Afrika - team South Africa) and then the American's came last. They are to bring us all cakes on Monday.

The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US

Yesterday Chris and I took a long stroll. Along the way we came across and area (just near Abasto) with thousands of shops selling store manequins. It was very strange indeed. In this city it seems that stores of a type seem to be located in the same area... all medical supplies in one place, all wool shops in one place and now these.
