Monday, 30th August, 2004

Busy day today for a couple of reasons.

First of all, I wanted to finally get all of my work down on computer so that I could finish my translations and get my questionnaires out to people. After all, I only have three montsh left!

Secondly, there�s finishing off my translation for the Eisteddfod (has to be in by the end of the week) and I don�t understand all the words. Help!

And then, thirdly, there�s updating all the photos onto the website here!

So, busy day, then.

First of all, good stuff, got the questionnaire typed up and sent off to people! Bad stuff, questionnaire came back to me saying it didn�t recognise some of the e-mail addresses. Bad.

So, I sent it off again with another note apologising to anyone who may have received it already. Then realised I�d forgotten to attach the questionnaire. More haste, less... whatever the phrase is.

Chilled out and went down the gym for another attempt to get fit. It ain�t working, you know!

Then, a visit to the supermarket where I decided to liven up my milanesas with some Heinz ketchup. Funny how some brands are international, I thought as I swigged from my Coca-Cola bottle.

A trip to the library provided me with some useful vocabulary for my translation, but left me puzzled with others. How many words can there be in Spanish for "daffodil" ?!

I printed off a few copies of the questionnaire, giving a copy to Rhian for her to help me (a lot!) with the Welsh. Also ran into Becca a few times on the street doing some last minute shopping before going home later in the week.

Bit more time wasted/spent fruitfully keeping in touch with friends online :)

Then, after a busy day at the office, sort of, a lazy night with a bit more Cortazar to try and improve my Spanish.
