Jules & Rita visit.

Another busy fortnight whizzes by and I think to myself where did that go? Sim’s folks have been here visiting and we managed to enjoy some time down at the beach, a visit to Suchitoto and they made good use of our car and the local “buses” to explore plenty of the San Salvador area. Unfortunately, two weeks just flies by and it felt like they were leaving having only just arrived. They had a pretty good time though. Jules was lucky enough to spend his 60th birthday watching the four best cricket teams in El Salvador battle it out in the end of season deciders for the league title and Rita managed to leave with a better tan than me and I’ve been here for nearly 8 months. No big surprise according to Sim.

The beach at La Perla. I hate it when its busy like this!

What catalogue did you say this was for?

Auditions for Pop Idol El Salvador were well attended.

And Judge dispatches a short ball toward the boundary. (Unfortunately to where a fielder was stood)

In other news school had their annual Spring Fair a couple of weeks ago. Annoyingly on a Saturday morning and attendance isn’t voluntary. Although it’s only Primary staff, so Secondary staff have no obligation to work on weekends. We’re all on the same contract so it seems a little unfair to me, especially as we had visitors from the UK here at the time. Still it wasn’t the worst day of my life, just inconvenient and by the end I was pretty bored, 4 hours is way too long.

The crowds of people lining up to dunk me in the tank were huge.

Simmie was in charge of a dressing up race. The QPR kit proved very popular with the locals.

I’ve also at long last got round to buying myself a drum kit. Not quite ready for a video performance yet, but hopefully soon just give me some time to practice. It’s been a while.

Hasta luego B & S xxx
