It's Already Wednesday!
10AM
I am constantly amazed at how fast the time flies while I'm here!
This will be a quick note as I have to leave soon to pick up Thieny from her course.
Yesterday, another in the continuing saga of trying to get money out of a stone...er, Ze! No luck so far!
It seems like a trip to the Policia Civil might be the only way...don't want to do that, but.....
I had an English class with Vera's school yesterday afternoon. It went pretty well as it is basically conversation and these three students are intermediate level. One is a famous painter and sculpter, Ascal! He has been all over the world and his art has been featured in The Louvre in Paris.
If Vera gets a new contract she's after, I might inherit the class, in addition to my other student, Marco.
Branca is here today, looking after meals and Israel, and cleaning while I work.
More later!
Now is the later I was speaking of earlier....well, you get the point!
Had my usual 1 1/2 hour discussion with my English student, Marcos. He's Site Manager here for a company called Fresenius Kabi. It's German and manufactures intravenius nutritional products.
We have hit it off pretty well and are extending into a social thing now. We have lunch set up for Saturday at Gheller.
