All good things must come to an end and for me that time has come. What I am now hoping is that one good thing can be followed up with another good thing, since that’s why I’ve made the decision to finish with my life in Barcelona. After saying farewell to my workmates almost two months ago (Hi guys!) I’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster ride in all senses of the word. Of course I enjoyed a brief visit home before returning to Barna to get my last glimpse of beach-life with good coffee, crisp beer, beautiful women in abundance and the ever-shining sun. I had a ball - not a care in the world and my finicito or final pay check that served as my pocket-money for the well overdue holiday from late evenings and early mornings. Staying in Cubelles, I was able to get familiar with Sitges, Vilanova, Cunit and (hombre!) PortAventura. Possibly the coolest place I’ve ever visited for going and having a laugh. It was also the first time I’d ridden on a rollercoaster and if I’d heard that Dragon Khan was the only one in the world with eight loops, I may not have made it. In a nutshell, FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

That period of living in paradise without responsibilities of a job has also since come to an end and I’m back in the world of binge-drinkers, players on the pull, bad driving and bloody cold air. On the up side, you can live on what you earn so it’s not all bad. As for earning, that’s something I’m in the process of starting again. With a few opportunites in the pipeline, and after having done interviews in Galway and Dublin, I reckon I won’t have time to run down my balance to zero before I’m on the ladder again. There has been some spectacular news of late but I’m afraid it deserves a post of its own. More on that later folks.
