Sunday is the day of rest for me, so I had a lie in (until like 1pm) and then we had a long walk with tia. My host dad and his nephew went to watch the Barcelona vs... Someone else match. We watched it on TV and it was pretty entertaining. Mostly because of the way the family reacted to certain things, it was nice to see them all enjoying it.
Anyway here are some pictures of Sunday:
Pretty old house
The River Segre
Typical residential street in the old town
Town at night (#nofilter)
It was nice to get out for sure and I'm happy to be part of such an active family. Just hope I can keep up!
Monday:
This was my first day of work. It wasn't awful but it was challenging. First getting up early (7:45 still feels like 6:45), speaking another language, translating things to and from English and all with a smile. Taking the kids to school was fine, they know the way and the fresh air and sunshine kind of perks you up.
Then I showered and me and S (host mum) went to town. Her friend runs a café and one of her many sisters was there too. S introduced me to them, bought me a forest fruit tea and then went back to work (at home). I chatted with S's friend and sister and had this really tasty sandwich for just one Euro (no friend of the family discount needed!)
Afterwards I went shopping as S had shown me all the shops. Apparently toner here doesn't make your face less blotchy it's just to remove make up and Vitamin C costs 9€ okay.
Then went to a massive chino and bought a picture frame and some cosy pyjamas (I'd been sleeping in the T-shirt I wore the day before because by the time I go to bed I'm too exhausted to open the wardrobe tbh). Also apparently I'm obviously not Spanish because I didn't understand that nueve centitos isn't 90 cents okay sorry.
Went home, got the kids and two of their friends from school and had lunch with them. Omg that was hard, fun but telling a little boy to sit down 100 times in two languages and still having to physically sit him down was a pain in the butt. They're cute though :)
Some wild children run wildly
Oh and next Monday I'm going to have an English class with some other children and I need to prepare something fun. (Suggestions? 3 children and me for 1 hour of English) S set that up for me and km grateful but also baffled.
Anyway more to come obvs. Can't believe I've only been here a few days!
