So, I’ve just posted the photos of the craft session we had here. I just need to look at the photos to remember why eating anything produced is a bad idea. The house is still looking like an explosion in a chocolate / glitter factory. And finger painting was a brave move and one I will not be repeating. It is highly surprising how much paint did not get on the paper – or perhaps not.
We”ve had a good few days. It is nice not having classes, we went for a cycle ride on Christmas Day, and got lost. Pretty predictable really as I’d reassured Ian that I was 110% confident that I knew where we were going. We came back and had lunch on the sun terrace.
We’ve been for a couple of other cycle rides – one to Bienvenida and back on a track we’d not been on before. We had a picnic looking up at the Sierra de Bienvenida and another day we went to Llerena to get some shopping and stopped for a picnic on the way back.
My Christmas project this year has been learning to make computer games. I want to make some for young English learners. It is quite difficult and perhaps I won’t have them finished for when classes start again.
We’ve also been to Pepe’s at lunch time, which is something we can’t do when I have classes, and it’s not that appealing in the evening. I think the thing that I miss most about the UK this time of year is the great British pub. Comfy seats and a fire – sigh….
We might have a new cat coming to live with us. He is living currently living in the street in a village the other side of Jerez Cabelleros, he is blind in one eye and is missing a paw. Actually, he can still jump which is something that we didn’t want – and his paw was ripped off by dogs so he is obviously very nervous of dogs which will be difficult, however we’ve factored in the fact that he won’t survive without help so we bent our rules a bit.
