Start of Blog!

Well, I thought I'd best start my blog off! It's me, Ben (the one at the left)! This is a piccy of me, Heather (another Salford student) and Kim (also from Salford Uni, visiting from Elda).

This'll be the place for my random wafflings and what not whilst I'm here in sunny Spain/Portugal for my student placement year! I go to Salford University, Manchester. I'm putting this in the hope of someone other than my mates will read this, but I doubt it's gonna happen!!

I work at Frost-trol which makes fridges for supermarkets. I sit at my PC all day in input data into the computer system, which is ok, better than doing nothing!!

Spain's such a random country! You need an ID card to do anything, but I use my driving licence and pretend it's a British ID card - They're none the wiser!!!

Been and bought some new sunglasses today. Well, I bought them on Saturday, I went and picked them up today, and they were well expensive!! The frames were only €73, but the lenses (because I'm blind as a bat!!) brought the total cost up to €299!!! I need them though; I tried life without them , and it hurts in the sunlight!

There's a gypsy lady that goes rooting through the collective bins we have in the street here. I can smell her 4 floors up! Mind you, I suppose she must do it for a reason!!!

Speaking of which, there was a big arguement in the street on Saturday, and someone sprayed pepper spray. Even four floors up in our retro-pre-franco decorated flat we got a whiff of it and it wrecked our eyes and noses!!!

Anyway, off to bed now, knackered as fook!!!
