...lost in the floods...

Ok, so first an apology. as pointed out (yes by you paige!) i have been less than attentive to my blog, me thinks i got a bit washed away in the wet season here, on record as the worst ever, with hundreds of thousands displaced and millions of dollars of damage. so the first thing i have to share with, which follows on nicely from my last post, is my latest spanish exam.

well it didnt go quite as hoped, in fact after having completed it (and several times during) i hung my head in my hands in absolute shock and shame. now, while the exam really isnt all that important, i still wanted to do well for myself and to have hard proof that my spanish actually was quite good (as i had been telling myself) however it looks like i was perhaps a bit ahead of myself. the 'listening' which i was dreading, was infact a lot better than i thought, and then 'grammer and vocab', much worse. the 'writing' was as always my favourite, but didnt have as much time as i would've liked, and the 'reading comprehension' sort of just sat itself in the middle, not sure i hated it, not sure i loved it. and ofcourse at this stage it really is all speculation, and one (being me) can only hope that perhaps it wasn't all that bad, and and really, my spanish is very good........ this one i will defintely update you on (unless ofcourse i was right and it was as much of a disaster as i thought).

secondly, we have no had our 'new' puppy for a good couple of months, possibly another reason i have let the blog slide, far more fun to play with a super cute beagle named puku than try and think of something to write which will hopefully be amusing (very hopefully) and informative. he was gifted to us by the man (name unknown..... likely to be andres, jose, juan or something to that nature) who house the fighting cocks, chicks and hens at our place. lukily puku has passed he stage where he needs to knaw on something (anything) continuosly, and he now sticks to the odd rumble with junior (the big dog) or terrorising our other dog (whom i call 'puppy' or 'the other one' or 'the middle one' as his name seems to be unknown, or perhaps i just foregt it) and the new kittens, also gifted from the same unamed man perhaps a month ago. His other favourite past time is sleeping in the wardrobe on my shoes, which up until last night was ok, then he threw up on them, now hes very much in the dog box and out of the wardrobe!

well i will be blogging again shortly, honestly, but int he mean time its back to work.....
