I’ve had quiet weekend / week, with the exception of meeting up with Ros and Carlos for Dinner on Saturday evening. Then, as always, two invites came up at once. Espe and I were invited to two birthday meals last night.

Initially we popped along to see Klaar. Nice to catch up with her and her friends. Nico bought her a really funky Buddist ornament, that when used correcly emits a soothing humming sound. Reminded me of one of the temples we visited I Mongolia. Got to get myself one of those.

Its a real shame we weren’t able to stay long but we’d already agreed to meet Pete in a restuarant comically named “The bubble that smiles”. First time I’ve met a lot of Pete’s friends. Mostly English… and part of the large Madrid ex-pat community, yet suprisingly few were English teachers. Hopefully I’ll be seeing more of these guys as they play football on Saturday mornings. It’ll kill me to start with but I need the exercise.
