Semana to the Santa

So I haven´t written anything for months, well two weeks anyway. Done loads recently, we had semana santa here in Spain and tht was spent with Carolina in Barcelona and then back here in Gijon... My parents came and visited, woohooo. My little sister came too, ubt she was getting driven crazy by my parents when she left here, so good luck sis, better you than me!! Everyone loves there parents, sure, but they can be a little annoying at times, although the 4 days here were fine...I got to see some nice little villages and I saw all the sights in Asturias.

Including this bloke... best day of his life...




One incident in particular will remain with me possibly for the rest of my life, this was a classic moment, but a little embarrasing for the person/s involved... so I´ve changed the names of all the people involved apart from the innocent parties, well you´ll see...

...So we went for a meal with my parents, Carolina and Ginis and Robert to a nice Spanish restaurant, but my housemate 'Bob' and his girlfriend 'Bobina' chose not to go however because they were celebrating 'Bobina' getting a new job and performing well in her play or something, so they decided not to come to the meal and drink champagne... So we all went to the meal had a nice meal and everything was fine...we all headed home at about 12 midnight for some much needed sleep and to plan the next days travelling... So we arrived back at the house and we all headed into my bedroom where we looked at maps and guidebooks etc.. to choose what to do the next day... we were all chatting and thinking when all of a sudden there was this light tapping noise on the wall between mine and 'Bobs' room. I heard and knew what it was straight away, but that wasn´t the case for everyone else. My parents looked up from their maps and stuff and said "What´s that noise?" I already felt embarrassed about the situation but I had managed to keep a poker face, but then when everyone was looking at me, waiting for the answer...I had no idea what to say... after a pause of maybe a minute I said "building work, noisy neighbours, thin walls, etc" in different combinations untill they were satisfied. I looked at Carolina and she couldn´t look at me...like when you got told off at school by the teacher and felt like laughing!! Well the noise did finish after about a minute, so we made our excuses, left and laughed all the way home... We couldn´t believe that randy 'Bob' and 'Bobina' couldn´t wait or be a little quieter, dirty, dirty dirty... but this is not the end of the story because the next morning it turned out the noises continued into the night, apparently a total of 3 times each lasting for no longer than a minute...!!! So 'Bob' wasn´t quite the stud muffin that no-one thought he was...I learn´t this fact from my mother who still couldn´t work out the source of the noise, so much so that she brought the puzzle up 3 times that day!!!! "What was that noise last night???! It woke me up 3 times!!!! But no problem because it didn´t last long!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 'Bob', 'Bob', 'Bob' what you doing buddy??? So me and Carolina questioned 'Bob' and told him of the embarrassing situation he got us in, but we got our own back when the durations were brought up...
