Yet another cool weekend, starting around about Tuesday...I got told to go home and have a siesta on Wednesday afternoon as I was dropping off to sleep at the desk so I did as I was told.
A night in would have been the sensible thing to do but I have pretty much said yes to every opportunity that has come my way while I have been in Sevilla so when asked if I wanted to go to for a beer in a bar that had a massive selection of beers I couldn't say no.
Luckily Thursday was a day off work so I could have a lie in and at least attempt to catch up on some sleep. It was also Verena's birthday so I spent a very pleasant afternoon with her and her friends eating, drinking and enjoying the sunshine, then enjoying more drinking and jazz music where all of the sleep I had caught up with was lost, me staying out just that little bit too long.
Massive headache Friday morning, got to work about twenty minutes late only to find the dutch girl, who's name I still don't know after 10 weeks, waiting outside with no sign of the boss, I suggested going for coffee and came back half an hour later ready and raring to go then had a breakfast break half an hour later, these hours must really suit as I got quite a lot of stuff finished and left about two. Unfortunately the headache was still around and I couldn't seem to shift it even after a long siesta. Nobody asked me to do anything which was good as I would have said yes and an early night I needed.
Saturday I saw poo related art from an Iranian lady called Tala Madani then went and sat slowly drinking beer in a open air bar by the river with Chris and enjoyed all of the beautiful ladies walking to and fro. Charlotte joined us and we had a few more slow beers. It was a very agreeable afternoon. Chris left us to get some food and Charlotte and I went back to her flat for anti-mosquito candles, beer, hummous and a crappy Kurt Russell film in Spanish.
Today I went to mass. Well looked at the cathedral. For free.
This afternoon I met up with Charlotte again and we went up the Torre de los Perdigones with it's camera obscura where a very enthusiastic guide showed us ladies bathing by swimming pools, traffic lights, cars, my street, Naboo and lots of other landmarks in Sevilla. It was most enjoyable and only €4. We met again later and visited the Museum of Archeology for all of twenty minutes, there are only so many Roman oil lanterns that you can look at, then strolled throught the Parque de Maria Lluisa while my head got more and more sunburnt due to me leaving my hat elsewhere.
I am now cooking myself a typically late spanish dinner and am considering whether or not I should open up my bottle of weissbier dunkel to drink with it...
