Mayday - Commemorates the fight for the eight hour day.

Here in Spain it’s a holiday and more or less a long weekend.
It also means that bread price increases by 0.05€ due to the greedy Chinese and their use of petrol - How dare they…

If you’re interested in the full story behind May day WikiPedia is good source Wiki on May Day

Operation “salida” was in full swing last night - just about 30Km of stop and go near Madrid etc etc.
Yesterday evening Monforte was really busy and buzing so the bars where unusually full. At least they still had enough “tappas” and wine.

Here @ Life in Galicia it’s a normal day.

Do some blogging, answer comments, twitter, check e-mail,

Await HM gov to call me regarding tax (I paid too much….. and they do work today)

Writing various letters so I can get my bank accounts unlocked (screwed up my passwords…. see blog here

Don’t lock yourself out - on-line banking an experience

Than to more serious tasks like rendering more outside walls (great weather cool and clouds)

So it’s going to be another long day.

PS 8 hours - I wish…. (Can’t strike - if I do, wife won’t feed me…)
