So home for xmas, no problems, and made it safely back to Spain with no dilemmas apart from having to pay for luggage on my final flight - ridiculous!!! Spent the new few days by the beach, getting to visit a few seaside resort along the coast. A welcome contrast from the cold bitter weather of Scotland - temperatures reaching 25 degrees during the day and getting to walk along the artificial beach of Campello.

So my three day week was not to much bother. My boss Stefan was traveling down to Cordoba for a conference, a good 6 hour drive away and asked if any1 wished to join him.
