Hola desde Valencia!

So it has yet again been an age since I last wrote a post – Apologies for my complete and utter tardiness!  I honestly do not know where the weeks go – I’ve seen count downs on Facebook stating it’s less that 6 weeks until Santa comes to town (I do hope I’m still on his nice list)

So what have I been up to since I last blogged.  In truth I don’t actually think I’ve done that much however the lack of time to type up a post would suggest otherwise.  As I mentioned last time, my sister and I started a foundation course in Spanish – We can both now say ‘My name is……I’m English and my phone number is…..’ Perfecto what more could a girl need to know in a different language? Oh I’ve also be able to ask the shop assistants in Intimissimi for my bra size in Spanish (perhaps not the best thing as I have now purchased tres new sassy bras – Oopsey)

Mother and I are currently here in Valencia for a girlie few days shopping and sightseeing sandwiching the men in leather of the final MotoGP race which took place yesterday.  The race itself was really good, the weather was glorious and there was a fab atmosphere.  The journey to and from the circuit however was not ideal; we got to the station about 20 minutes before the train was due to depart and it was already rammed pack, so we stood like sardines for the hour journey! Once we arrived the signs in and around the track were shocking, I don’t think we realise how lucky we are at events hosted in the UK; there were so few food outlets that the queues were ridiculous that we didn’t actually eat or drink anything the whole time we were there!

On Saturday we walked through the  Jardì del Túria (River Park) down to The Oceanographic which was amazing! The park was bustling with joggers and ladies doing yoga, children playing a netball like game using buckets as baskets, people walking numerous breeds of dogs; there were noises all around, yet our stroll was pleasant and peaceful.

Today we walked back through the park to the shopping centre which is down by the Oceanographic.  There’s a El Corte Ingles department store down there (there’s lots around the city to be fair) which is probably a similar size to John Lewis on Oxford Street so it took us a while to mooch around.  I’ve brought a dress to wear Christmas Day as this year for the first time my Sister, Mum and I are eating out (I figure I can’t get away with wearing my lounge wear or jimjams)

I’m now back in my hotel room having a little rest; it’s been an exhausting few days, I even had to have a Nanna nap yesterday! I’ll get myself sorted in a bit, fresh make-up, re-do my bonce and get glitzed up for some sangrias and dinner.

I’ve been pretty busy at work recently, finalising the Christmas party and also helping with our new office move (I return to the office next week for ‘Installation Week’).  I’m not going to promise (we all know I’m shit) but I’ll try and post again once I’m back home.

Adiós por ahora.
