What a month !

No sooner had Gema left to go back to Valencia, than the following week I arrived on those sacred shores. A week of sun, sand and friends that was definitely worth waiting for.

Big news like the new german pope and Blair being elected as prime minister for a third time (can't believe it) won't have gone amiss, but a few other titbits will now be mentioned.

The Pope's old car has just been auctioned off on ebay for a sum of 250 thousand dollars. For a '99 VW Golf, that's a pretty good sell :)

For those of you fed up with cheap flights, and wanting something different, try cheap cruises. Going along the french and italian coasts at knock-down prices has never been better with Easycruise (from the same man who brought you Easyjet).

In Texas, cheerleaders better be careful what they sing and wear and how they dance after a new law has been passed to ban "sexually suggestive" cheerleading in schools. "Give me an R, give me an 18"...

On the eve of the elections in the UK, a bomb blast occurs outside it's embassy in New York. Nobody was hurt, but questions are being raised as to who it was...

Everybody knows that google has some great tools out there. In fact, their intentions to digitise all library books has brought with it a lot of controversy in France where they like to keep their information free from america's grasp. Well, proof of Bush's plans for europe have now been revealed on google maps. try maps.google.co.uk and zoom out as far as you can, and you'll see the UK, US and...nothing else.

Ever wondered what the latest secret weapon would be? Well, in Germany people are starting to wonder if terrorists are researching with wildlife, after finding a disease that causes toads to grow to over 3 times their normal size and then explode. So think again before you next crush a snail - it might have a nasty surprise for you.

Well, after the great wedding of Pili in Valencia (and the dancing that went on until 5am) as well as the birthday party of Olga last saturday (birthday on thursday) and the combined leaving party for Bill and flatwarming party of Magda and Manu on thursday, let's hope we get some rest in order to prepare for the coming week...(you can always try this game to help relax)

Work hard...
