Gracias por fumar


"Thank you for smoking", this is a seriously funny film, thoroughly recommend it although i did have to question myself when i immediately lit up on leaving the cinema, thus displaying a worrying level of addiction and a disturbing lack of intelligence - nice hit though!

Have purchased A4 pads and am going to spend the afternoon expanding my vocabulary and learning to decline los verboles en el tiempo passado. Obviously, i shall be writing a longer blog than normal to postpone said torture. Worse still is that this tedious process has to be done indoors, attempts at studying whilst in the sun are seriously hampered by the portenas (ladies of Bs As) walking by. A question - what is the world's easiest job? Answer - talent spotter in Buenos Aires.

Last night was spent at Vero's y Fernando's. My first asado of this visit. Several bottles of vino, and a stomach stretching quantity of cow. 18 hours later and food is still totally off the agenda. Spent most of the night chatting in Spanish, quietly pleased with that but am definitely a bit lacking in vocabulary.

On a totally different note - I installed a simple piece of google software onto my blog. This tells me the number of visitors, the number of pages read and where they were reading the site from. Quite scary if you start wondering what big brother might be able to achieve. However it enables me to say a quick hello and thank you for reading to: Anyas in Poland, Chelsea in Miami, someone in Dallas?, Mark in LA, someone in San Fran, a hodgepodge of England and one in Northern Ireland.

Lastly has anyone seen my mother? She was last seen heading on a plane to Namibia, followed by a period in Cape Town. I fear she may have fallen into a tank of chardonnay in the Stellenbosch region. Total panic hasn't set in yet as i'm fairly sure her friends would happily jump in after her and drink the rest to save her from drowning.
