False start...

WE got off to a bit of a false start this morning. UP and out in time for our first Catalan class of the year with no problem. Ten o'clock came and Sue Tony and I were the only ones sitting there, wondering if we'd erred. I popped into the office and win my best Catalan asked if there were classes today- 'Oh no,' the man told me 'They start on the ninth.' -Oops. So we adjourned to a local bar and did some revision, which was all good really as on the 21st we have our end of course exam. 

This afternoon I had arranged to start classes again with a lad across the road. At 4.30 I rang their doorbell but got no answer - I guess he's not ready to start again yet either. 

All this is probably because schools don't start back until tomorrow. I have just one class at Supernova this evening, just wondering if any students will turn up. 

So this afternoon as a way to pass a bit of time I wandered onto the cruise site to see what's available for September -well if we book in advance we'll get a bargain. Sure enough found a cruise we'd quite like to do. Setting sail from BCN going up to Savona, then down to Casablanca, Cadiz and Lisbon, amongst other stops. All for well under a grand. So first of all need to check on pet-sitting volunteers and then we may just book it. Janey, Donna, Amy - you reading this? Or anyone else fancy a stint at Casa TulStig (9 days in September)
