All OK so far

Hello All

Thought it was about time I let you know that I am alive and well, and, after the shortest flat-hunting experience ever, have a place to live. Im in a most super apartment to the north of the centre, in a funky neighbourhood full of latinos, shoe shops (very dangerous) and churrierias (I´ll let you look that one up). The fact that there is a branch of Zara just 10 minutes walk away had nothing to do with my decision to stay here of course.
There is an extremely comfortable double sofa bed in our living room just begging to be slept in........so visitors are more than welcome at any time!

Although Ive only been here a few days, I am feeling pretty settled already. I am in an extremely good mood today because I have just found a shop that sells proper fresh milk......and in a country that thinks fresh milk = UHT, that´s quite a find. The fact that the shop is 7 metro stops away is only a minor detail.

I start training for my job on Monday.....and have been warned to expect a heavy workload. I have no idea when I am going to fit Spanish lessons in, but I´m hoping that the permanent background noise of the local radio talk show in my room will have some subconscious effect, and I´ll be some super-fluent Spanish speaker in a couple of days.

Righty-ho, must be off. As it´s the weekend, there are a million and one markets to explore, which I am sure will keep me pretty content for at least a few hours.

Thank you for the emails people - its good to know all is well!!

Love Liv x

Im leeeeaaaving....On a jet plane!!! Dont know when I'll be back again!!

Ok. Now Im not sure that any of you will still be reading this, but I have decided that I am going to stick with the blogging. It saves me writing lots of separate emails, clogging up peoples inboxes and getting confused.

For those of you who are not in the know, I am moving to Madrid to work as an English teacher. Tomorrow.
And I know NO-ONE in Spain, so would be grateful for any kind of correspondance. And as I am sure I have mentioned to absolutely everyone about million times, you are ALL welcome to come and stay with me at any time. God knows Im sure I could use the company!! So just drop me an email and jump on a plane.....and we can go out and paint the town red....or alternatively my personal favourite.......pink with green spots.

So....once again, if you would like to know how I am (and Im hoping that I can count at least 2 or 3 people who might) please check my blog, leave comments, email me, send me letters or parcels full of food and fun stuff and I will be eternally grateful.

Ok....well here goes, and let's just hope I dont get fired ;)
