20 - 17 and I missed it! :-S
Hello,
I am in a bit of a sulk at the moment because I missed the rugby, the first northern hemisphere tean to win the World Cup, and I missed it! last gast drop goal in the last minute, and I missed it!, the nation's greatest sporting triumph since 1966, and I MISSED IT - How in hell did I miss it? - I Got locked in my hostel that´s how! (It was on at 3am in the morning here, and I had arranged to go around to some Kiwi guys house with a few other people to watch it, and when I came to leave the Hostel, everything was locked, and the security guy was nowhere to be seen!
It has also just cost me $45 to post home Richards bloody insect collection, I too cannot be arsed to A) carry it, or B) Risk being arrested on entry to Australia for importing banned substances! Mum if a great big yellow parcel actually arrives in the next few weeks, dont open it if you are scared of spiders! (they are all dead though).
Not the actual thing, but you get the idea!
I bumped in the the americans yesterday who were on our Gallapagos trip, they had just returned from a Jungle Treck bless them, and I had to help them confirm their filghts in Spanish. They told me to thank my Mother on their behalf for bringing me up so well, "Because mothers like that sort of thing". (I spent most of my trip in the Galapagos holding their hand and helping then up steps, in and out of boats, over rocks etc). I told them I hoped I was still up for adventures when I was in my mid 70's, allthough frankly I think I will be happier playing crown green bowls and moaning about the price of tweed!
Spanish school is going well, allthough I seem to be getting an increasing amount of homework, He spends the first part of the lesson marking my work, and ends by drawing a small face, :-) smiling if I have understood, :-( frowning If I cock up, but more often than not I get a kind of :-S squiggle indicating that he is neither happy, nor sad with my progress, This sort of indifference does nothing to inspirire me to aspire - I have resolved to sign of my last bout of homework with a :-P
Miss you all,
Indeed I seem to miss bloody everything!
