Long overdue update.
Taking advantage of a respite from a rather drastic work schedule and a fierce couple of days of weather which at last seems to be passing on. Weak sunlight making the optimist in me hopeful for the rest of the week.
Here's what the lovely sea front looked like after the storm yesterday.

Ah, it's sad to see the "muro" this way. I walked along it just last week, for the first time since June (we moved house, and now live a considerable distance from the coast...) The mayor Paz Fernandez said that gijon "se há liberado de un destrozo mayor", you see other nearby communities were not so fortunate as here. In Luarca there's a museum dedicated to the study of Giant Squids, and it was totally destroyed, it seems.
As for me, work has been "desbordante" these last two months. In December it'll ease off a bit. As of now I'm getting up at 08:00 starting work at 09:00, getting home at 13:00 and doing what day to day stuff I can, and then heading off again at 15:30 to start my regular job. Then getting home at 22:30 I really don't have any energy to do anyhting meaningful. So I'm just in a kind of "hanging around state" until bedtime, then the next day the same thing.
It's good, though, I'm enjoying the morning classes a lot. It's a government sponsored project for unemployed people to promote their knowledge of English and so increase their chances of finding a job.
Well, gotta go again.
Ciao.
