Hi all! Just a quick post to say that I’m back in Sofia to deliver training (God love the students I’m going to have) My flight landed at 2:30PM (12:30 Irish time
) and it took about another hour to get my luggage and be driven to the hotel. The hotel was fully booked when I tried to book but they had 1 guest room “plus” left so I booked it which got me a free airport transfer in. I just hope there isn’t an issue with that when i go to claim my expenses. If there is an issue this will definitely DEFINITELY be my last trip out here. The room looks like the last one I had but its a corner one so I have a view of the mountains and over the city. I was told that the weather is really good here at the moment. Today has been a little bit cloudy but mainly sunny and it was 16 degrees
The sun is starting to set at the moment. I’ll try to get some nice photos of it to post but I’m not holding out much hope knowing my camera. I’m going to have 9 students this week (more than double from the last time which is a scary thought for me) They did warn me that some of the groups they’ve had has been at least 20 so maybe I’m getting off lightly!!!
What did I do at the weekend? Friday night: 3 bottles of red wine with dinner which was just fantastic (Always in when S cooks which is all the time LOL). For starters (which I made) it was brown bread (Sean’s brown from Superquinn if you get to try its very nam nam) with white crab meat
For main course it was tuna steaks (You really should try them they’re amazing) with lime / lemon and chilli’s dressing (7UP!! LOL – kidding) dressing, red peppers and courgettes. For dessert I had a chocolate chip cake and S had lemon cheesecake (we bought 2 desserts cos S isn’t a big fan of choclit – not like me!!) Saturday morning we went to see Vantage Point, I definitely recommend it its very good. Got buttery popcorn and munchies (nam nam nam) Then to Boots to pick up toiletries for my trip (And S’s as he had to go to the UK for 1 night, he’s back to the dog tonight) After that headed home to get S’s clothes ready for his trip and also to do some housework. For dinner on Saturday had roast chicken (Free range – Hugh Hairy got to me the week he done his experiment) and Sausage meat stuffing. No need for any veggies cos the stuffing left me stuffed. It was GORGEOUS. For dessert that night I had chocolate fudge brownies (From Superquinn) After dinner we spent Saturday night watching the stuff we’d recorded during the week (Sky + is just brilliant) we watched Torchwood, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA, America’s got talent (?!) and I can’t actually remember what else we watched :S
Sunday: Up around 11ish, cleaned out the rabbits (my favourite job – not!!!) helped S pack (Only took 5 minutes hehe) He left around 2:30 and after that I finished off the housework before sitting down to watch Lipstick Jungle (new series from the creator of Sex and the city – not bad) I’ve been downloading it as its not on here yet. I only started to download it cos I seen an ad for it in a taxi in NYC but I do like it. After that I watched Jericho (Season 2 episode 4 which I downloaded, I am REALLY glad CBS agreed to do another series of it!) after that i watched barnyard and some other things (just flicking) I was in bed by 9:30 cos I had to be up at 4:30 this morning!!! I hate being up that early. Toby wasn’t too pleased about the time either. My mum took care of him today so he wouldn’t be home all day by himself. S isn’t expecting to get home until after 9 so thank fuck she could take care of him today. Update from her is that he ate OK and he wanted to play lots which is great. Sometimes when we’re not there Toby won’t eat for her but at least he was OK today and S will be back home with him tomorrow. I’m going to miss S like hell over the next few days. While I’m sitting here in the hotel room on my own I wonder why on earth I agreed to come out here. At least I’m only here until Saturday.
OK well thats it from me. Hope your Mondays weren’t too painful. Have a nice evening
Song of the day(I know its sad but I had this on repeat on the flight!!): Rihanna – Don’t stop the music
