Le Cool Madrid
My favourite thing about Thursday mornings in work is when Le Cool Madrid arrives and I can change my desktop background for the week. It truly is the little things that count :P

Around Europe in 80 minutes
Parque de Europa in Torrejon de Ardoz is absolutely hilarious. Like Disney World but, I dunno, less music and more European monuments...
Visit. It even has a zip line swing. 3,50 a go. Bargain.

Belated Sol post
The protests in Sol are trickling to a close. Only the hardy few remain and I reckon they'll be gone by week end. Here are some pics I took during the first week when Sol was full to the brim. It evolved into a little village over time (mainly hippy types though, hard pressed to see a pijo about) and now it's finally coming to an end.
Not sure what they hope to have achieved but at least attention was drawn to the Spanish situation. Should shame politicians into doing something. That said, I feel pretty strongly that young Spaniards as a nationality lack 'get up and go' (huge generalistion but still...) Where I work, its not unusual to have late twenty somethings coming in with their parents for advice. Or parents coming in asking for advice for their 'nino' (of 20 something years hmmmm...)
Cut the cord and go abroad if the situation isn't better, apron strings have to be untied eventually.
