rapido 4 April 2010
Watching premiership football with the commentary in Spanish is a new pleasure. It is also VERY busy. The commentators not only speak really quickly but also get very excited indeed. Pronounciations of names are a delight – edwina van der saar anyone? I also love their analysis – someone can be super statico or super solido, say, but the winner for me and a phrase that is now used regularly as I urge Richard to approach a bar is ‘super rapido’.
There is a lovely little library in the hotel where people leave books and others can take some away. I’m helping myself on a daily basis and will leave what i have finished when the time comes. It coincides with a lovely email to the site from a man who has just finished SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND the first Leo Street) He found it in a little hotel in Vietnam and finished reading it in Cambodia – he also enjoyed it greatly so HOORAY all round.
Cloudy again today but it just doesn’t matter – chillin’ is happenin’, all is well
