Steff and nonsense

Rather than allowing me to read, he did attempt to get me to listen to Spanish songs first. That was a step too far though. After listening to the truly awful 'La Calle de las Sirenas' (The road of mermaids) three times, I had a full on strop that even a 2-year-old would be proud of and he never ventured there again. If you don't know the song, please don't look it up. It's the kind that even Steps would have been embarrassed of.

I would say that it was slightly optimistic, it's often hard enough to make out English lyrics. I remember a friend of mine at school singing away to UB40: 'Re-rewind' rather than 'Red, red wine'...and I only found out at a Depeche Mode concert about 4 years ago that it was 'Reach out and touch faith' rather than 'Reach out and touch space' as I'd been singing for the last 15 years or so. You'd have thought the title 'Your Own Personal Jesus' would have given me a clue...

Anyway, I'm now teacher-less, and there are only a certain number of Spanish Teachers in Qatar...and that certain number's not very big. I've just got wind of another lady who teaches Spanish and Cookery though. Excellent! I'm seeing this in a '2 birds, 1 stone' kind of way; I can't do either.

I'll let you know how it goes. If I can't cook a paella by this time next week I'll be asking for my money back...in English.
