Busy as usual

I’m back in the course, which is demanding but fun. Yesterday was meteorology, accident prevention and first aid, and today was astronomical distances and the sun. A lot of the others are finding the astronomy bit hard going, while I know most of the content, but I still have to learn all the vocabulary in Spanish. Mind you, taking notes in Spanish is getting easier, thank goodness.

I’m also trying to get fit, ready for the weekend trip into the Caldera. This morning I managed to get to the top of Montaña de la Breña for the first time since I was ill, so I think I’ll be all right. I hope so. It’ll be embarrassing if everybody has to wait for me.

Will I ever get time to write again?
