Have been working on resumes all evening. Finally I have someone who is able to offer me good advice on what people would be looking for here in Spain. I have added a graphic as a background - a manipulated photo I took of a flower. Concha told me I needed to put a photo right under my name - totally opposite of Canada; one is not supposed to ask for that as an employer, I believe (unless you are specifically hiring strip club chicas or something, I suppose).

Rice with whatever I had around to stick in it and red wine for vegetable matter - my cheap bottle that Rocio, the 2nd roommate who just moved in this afternoon, turned her nose up at. "Yes, but you can get other better stuff for E1.70! This is bad. She is about 50. Walked straight into my room with closed door. Introduced herself over again and looked out my window, then asked why I had chosen this (the bigger) room, as she thought she had scoped it out for herself. I believe I talked to Concha before she was around, or had decided for sure to move in.

Concha is a very gentle person, very caring and very nice. She was very sorry her smoking bothered me and attempted to smoke in her room with the door closed. I don't know if that will solve the problem, but we'll see. She works a lot from home, watches serials on TV to take a break (which she complains about saying how terrible they are but she knows half the actors and likes to just zone out and watch her friends). Concha has worked in Madrid for years and has a girlfriend from Galicia.

I am now off to see Juan del Gastor and Luis Moneo (the brother of a favorite singer - El Torta) at Pena Torres Macarena. Maybe a bad idea but I am going to dress up nice - in heels. Need to do something as I've been inside all day.
