Madrid Teacher

I read an interesting article in last fridays Independent (a friend brought it over for me from Scotland) It contained a story about hotels letting out rooms for a siesta. Not the usual room for the hour type serivce but one which allows all those who live miles away from their place of employment, to take a nap and therefore not miss out on their Spanish brithright. I only ever have a couple of siestas a year, don´t know why just dont need them. What was quite typical is that the employers association in Sevilla said that they are against it because it would mean that their members would have to work more. I don´t actually see how because the people in the rooms would be sleeping.

A big thankyou to the Doctors and Nurses in Alcala hospital. I have just come home after a operation and they were brilliant. How anybody can argue against a socialised health service I cannot understand. Still feeling quite high on the drugs though so will have to stop writing.
