Adiós, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye...

Sniff sniff. It's a sad day. Off the hook! is no more. Well, that's not entirely true. I'm moving to...

The Pigeon Loft. Hope to see you there!

Did you know...

Did you know that most cars come equipped with pigeon holders? I wonder where 007 is going in his swanky Skoda...

...ah. I thought so.

Have some pictures...

Hola! Not much has been happening in Spainland. My poor dying camera will be brought back to life next week when the parents come to visit and I can't wait. There are lots of fancy buildings to be photographed.

Here's Mr.P 007 (minus face of course). He'll hopefully get eyes next week.

I bought this little whale badge today from a charity stall thingy on my way to buy cakes (no cake pictures as I ate them all very quickly- sorry) because I liked the colours, got excited that it was hadmade and it was for a good cause (although I'm not entirely sure what cause it was because the woman spoke very fast).

...and here's another pre-cake photo. It's the town hall of Salamanca and part of the Plaza Mayor. If anybody's thinking of visiting, there's a good cake shop (one of many) on the left there where you see the tables and chairs.

I've just bought some new wool so expect more photos of crocheted things soon. Hasta pronto!

The rain in Spain falls mainly on Charlotte

I couldn't help letting out an involuntary snort of laughter when I read an article the other day attributing the abundance of meat in the Castilian diet to the region's "cold, dry climate". I've been here a mere 14 days and have experienced sunburn, 4 thunderstorms, 2 days of solid rain and a hailstorm with hailstones the size of ping-pong balls threatening to smash the rattly window of my ex-flat.

Just the sort of weather to make you stay inside and start making an ark. I got the pattern free with a magazine (I'll add a photo later) and it's amaaaaaaaazing. The plan is to finish it before I graduate and make an animal a month. Here is zebra 1 minus eyes and legs as straws and felt are hard to come by here...

Mr P 007 is looking rather swish in his bow tie but unfortunately his eyes are back in blighty. Not sure how to crochet a tiny martini. Any ideas?
