Somerandom updates...
After what has apparantly been the wettest May in Spain since 1971, the sun appears to be finally getting its act together and showing its face - which is a winner, and means the open-air swimming pools should be opening up soon.
The end of the football season saw the work at Real Madrid wind down a bit, but some bits and pieces for National Geographic have kept things ticking over.
I finally bowed to pressure and bought a guitar, the as yet unamed Fender had a test-run last night and handled everything thrown at it superbly.
Spain is trying to get excited about the European championships, but I think they are more ready for more disappointment. They got booed throughout their last friendly (a 1-0 win over USA) and it looks to melike Fernando Torres has died his hair ginger.
A friend of mine went to
Primavera festival in Barcelona last weekend and the line-up looked awesome. Plans are already underway to attend next year. I didn't know that
Buffalo Tom were still together. I've also revisted Corcrane Secret by
Polvo -what a piece of work.
Seen a bunch of pretty good films recently: Be kind: Rewind. Iron Man. What Happens in Vegas (which wasn't bad) and
Lars and the Real Girl -with
Ryan Gosling putting in yet another killer performance, that's four from four, for those films I've seen him in -strange to think he used to keep company with britney, cristina and justin on the disney club.
Finally, I will be in London from June 18th for a few weeks - hope to catch up with some people.
