Over the last year I think I’d forgotten how much I love music and how much it does for me. Just tuning into the radio more and listening to some new albums has left me feeling great. On Sunday night I took Espe down to Cafe Central for a bit of Jazz. We were treated to a performance by an Argentinian singer and accompanying band, who were later joined by two guest singers, each of which had stunning voices capable of bringing out emotions in people. Amazing stuff.

While on the topic of music, for those that don’t know, it is definitely worth checking out Pandora.com . An Internet Radio station with a difference. Put in the name of an artist or track that you like and they will play you music that fits in a similar genre. An excellent way to hear new music to your own taste.

Wednesday just gone, I met Henar on the terrace outside the flat for an intercambio and to find out about her trip to Japan. We were later joined by Espe and Pete to sample once again the goodness of the tostas prepared there. The ever friendly bar man seemed merrier than usual. Espe headed up for a early night while Pete and I helped take in the chairs and tables as he was closing up. Next we found ourselves invited for several free beers. Thinking it was time to go, we were then invited by Roberto, the bar owner, and his friend to go play some fusball. We obliged and found ourselves in a quiet bar tucked away in the side streets. After loosing shamefully at fusball and just plain loosing at pool we wandered of to another bar / disco. Apparently we got through another three rounds, but things in the last place are a little hazy for me. I’ve no idea what time we go in, all I do know is that I was a mess the following day.

So, the weekend is nearly here again, and better still I’ve got next week off. We’re heading down to Valencia for the weekend and then to a small place called Oliva for my catarmaran sailing course (a birthday present from Espe). Should be good.
