RE: I arrived home this evening, back in my beloved mountains...

Hey you. Yes I miss my home in Spain dreadfully and I've only been gone just over a week.

I'm having a fabulous time here in Oxford though, as teacher and mummy to my lovely students. This is my weekend now, Wednesday and Thursday, the kids/young adults have no English classes and are off on excursions to London and Stratford. As the senior housemistress I have this time off, no excursions for me, to unwind until Friday when classes begin again.

Five more weeks and I will be in my beloved, adopted country, but in the meantime I'm determined to have a good time with the wonderful teachers working with me and the students.

I hide it well, but I have a wee bias towards the Spanish students though!

A lie in for me tomorrow.

RE: The CS Profile Photo Phobia Poll, or the CS4P.

Go on Boban...tell us a joke laugh

Photos are important for me personally, but some are obviously old and often not truly representative of the person, (I've had a few CS dates to back this up!).

I'm willing to communicate with somebody without one initially, if his profile interests me enough.

RE: Who's Busy!!??

Yes, I'm very busy in Oxford now, teaching the International students. They are a lovely bunch though. I have been allocated the terrible teens!

They've all gone on an excursion to London today, so I have a few hours to myself...hurrah!!

I really just wanted to send my love to Conrad and Robert, both of whom I see have been in the wars. Sorry I haven't done so sooner, but I haven't logged in to CS since I arrived in the UK.


teddybear To you both.

And hello to all my EU friends before I disappear again.

I know I´m too old for this......

....music, but I Iove it. I love to dance and move, that´s my excuse. I think having kids very young also has had an influence. They introduced to me music way past the decades that many older parents experience. They still do in fact!

Is there anything you love to do, but in the back of your mind feel you are really too old to enjoy in a conventionally, acceptable way?

Here is a sample of my dance music.



Not just music by the way...anything.

RE: Good Night CS

Night Gypsy King.

Here is some Spanish gypsy music to see you on your way.

RE: Your mood today ......

I am but not for long.

I have this urge to listen to some dance music. Maybe to cheer myself up for leaving Spain tomorrow.




This reminds me of holidays in Turkey with my best friend in the UK.

RE: OK I NEED AN HONEST OPINION

Probably the most honest answer to your thread.

We all have our demons in one way or another. Just ignore those emails and relax. There is somebody out there for sure, whether you find her or not is a different matter. That´s the difficult issue, not the fact that you have six kids.

RE: Does internet dating really work?

Not unless you put in a lot of hard work and faith.

It´s not easy, but it can work, we have a few examples of success here on CS.

RE: An angel on your shoulder.

How lovely Ali. That makes a lot of sense.

However, I tend to think it´s more about the decisions we make personally, good and bad.

We often attribute the good decisions to luck or a guardian angel

RE: Why am i related to Mr Perfects...but date morons??

Relatives cannot be compared with lovers.

You have no idea what your relatives are like in their relationships, despite outside appearances of love and cordiality.

Behind closed doors springs to mind.

RE: sleeping with the ex?

I did and married him again. blues

It´s a mistake, we divorced a second time after a year.

He is my friend now though. We just have to live in different countries. laugh

Love songs for all you romantics.

Woofy, good music is timeless.

I love music from all decades. Perhaps because I grew up with music in the home, my parents loved to dance.

I can picture them now dancing to this.




So Sam Cooke is a favourite of min too.

Love songs for all you romantics.

confused

I didn´t understand the lyrics either until they started singing in English.

RE: who will win the english permier league next season?

Liverpool of course.

Love songs for all you romantics.

He certainly has a way with words doesn´t he. laugh

Love songs for all you romantics.

Thanks Ama.

The hair is bad isn´t it! I love the song though.

hug

RE: On Being Friends

Good evening T.

I agree, we do cope better in general, though it isn´t easy. We seem to have more of a survival instinct perhaps.

Maybe men are just plain greedy! laugh

RE: On Being Friends

I don´t know what you mean about Guiri´s comments Ama, but I think you and I are in tune with what your thread is about.

Maybe it is better to cut off ties completely. It´s a shame though, good friends are always a blessing.

RE: On Being Friends

In my experience it´s the men who can´t remain friends.

I´m quite happy about staying in touch and being friends. If there is no spark then that doesn´t take away from the fact that I like the person.

Men often find it difficult to accept that, and seemingly accept a friendship initially, but then try to make it more than what it is.

Persistence doesn´t always pay!

Love songs for all you romantics.

I´m going to miss you Spain.



Spanish Gypsy music.

RE: First Dates.....?????????

Good morning Mr Arizona. It´s late afternoon in Spain though.

Your lady friend is protecting her modesty as you well know.

Have fun on your date and get her home with her modesty intact. Unless she changes her mind halfway through the date of course.



laugh

RE: First Dates.....?????????

Oh c´mon Pat. You know exactly what she means.

wave

RE: Hey!!...this could be that HOT date you're looking for!!!!!!

rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

OMG!!! I wonder how many people are REALLY like that on CS??? help

RE: countries in order of living in (who is going to be the winner)

Turkey, Poland, Portugal, and Russia were only for one year each though.

RE: How was your day?

laugh I bet you could!

As long they don´t require remembering dates. frustrated

I think I´ll go for a walk and sit in the park with a book, all on my lonesome, before it gets too hot.

My friends are all away at the beach for the weekend, and they think I´m in the UK.

How are the baggy shorts coming along? Getting used to them now?

RE: How was your day?

Thanks Tulefel.

I don´t think I´m stressed, but I have had a crazy few weeks, work related, so perhaps there is some truth in what you say.

Today I have the day to myself, and my suitcase is all packed of course ready for the flight tomorrow laugh

Hmmm what shall I do?

RE: How was your day?

Lucky you! wave

I´m afraid I´ve had enough of 40 degrees. I want a bit of the UK weather.

to make matters worse, I was sat next to a Spanish man on the coach taking me back to Murcia and he was asking me about my holiday! He thought I was returning from my hols.

I lied through my teeth and said it was great. Now I´m definitely going to Hell. crying

RE: How was your day?

My day was a complete disaster!

This morning I was rushing around delivering keys to a friend to water my plants while I´m away, throwing out unused food in the fridge, visiting the bank, and packing my suitcase for six weeks with a measly 15k to play with....damn Ryanair!!!

I arrived to the airport somewhat frazzled, and stood in a long queue to check in my suitcase. Pre-printed boarding card in hand I walked through to the terminal security checks. "Do you speak Spanish Senora" "Si dime" I replied. Your boarding card is for the 5th, today is the 3rd...in Spanish of course.

Oh my god! I raced down to the check in desk again and explained what had happened in unintelligible Spanish I´m sure. Then went to see if I could change my flight...no! Back to check-in where they arranged for my suitcase to be taken off the plane.

A twenty minute wait for my suitcase, then the journey back to Murcia.

I am so stupid. blushing

I just don´t understand how I made this mistake. I´m a seasoned traveller, and it´s never happened before.,,,honest!

RE: WOOOOFFFYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....

Belated birthday greetings to our woofie.
