In Madrid I am living a life without cricket at the moment. Surprisingly enough 'Los Cenizas' (The Ashes) are very popular down here in Spain and going by the English achievements in Australia this is just as well!! I was desperately looking for a radio which receives Test Match Special but (luckily for Carmen as cricketmatches in Australia start at 01.00 in the morning European time!) none were to be found :-( Now watching highlights through the Internet is the only thing saving me from insanity...
Anyway, another week has past and fridays are always special days here at the office: its China day (el dia Chino). Every friday we make a small walk to the local Chinese restaurant and take the €5.85 menu (three dishes, a drink and a coffee!!). For starters I always go for the 'rollo primavera' (one of my favorite Spanish literal translations...closely followed by 'hora feliz'). The rest of the menu I leave open for change
I am now off to start my weekend, lets hope England improves down under! Hooray!!

I was wondering just now, if Spain as a country was aware of the fact that their monarch got picked to play for England ahead of Monty Panesar...
