That was hard

I suppose after a year of Spanish lessons we should have expected a test which stretched us. In any case that is what we got. We had to think and think hard about the answers to some of the questions. Whilst we still have a limited vocabulary it is difficult to formulate the answers that you would like to give. It isn't easy getting your head around the very different grammatical structure of the language either. Still when the "going gets tough.... ".

We got home in good time to watch the dismal performance of England against possibly the weakest team in the competition. We were pleased that the goals came from Liverpool players but were not pleased with Crouch's efforts otherwise. In fact the only player that looked sharp was Lennon who brightened up the play on the right flank. Maybe England will do better against Sweden - we hope so.

After the game we went down to Torre and had an excellent meal at La Muelle. Sitting outside in June on a balmy evening watching the sea lapping against the shore as you eat has to be one of the best parts of living in Spain. We rounded the meal off with an excellent cup of coffee at the old Casino. Come July and more so in August, Torre will be packed at night but last night we almost had the place to ourselves after 11:00pm - nice.

Today the game plan is to go to Elche but only when Pam gets up!
