Louis louise and I were brought to our work placement today. The director, Antonio eloy brought us on a tour around the academy which was surprisingly big. The school is carries out a range of very practical skill sets. Barbering, hairdressing, face aesthetics and special effects , pedicures, makeup and more. Eloy himself is well known around the country of Spain and runs an excellent academy. I was very grateful to be out here as my placement. I am learning loads of skills and more about the culture. Brilliant place.

Me and louis out here!!!

2nd day of work me and Alex got set placed in the work placement I’m behind the bar which I prefer as I work behind a bar anyways. While working behind the bar in my job I got to pull my first Spanish beer with the delightful head on it I also have to get other drinks like Fanta orange coco cola. I also have to make sure the bar is nice and clean. We got our break at 3 o clock and got a choice of a burger or a pizza I was starving so I didn’t mind but ended up getting the best Burger I have ever eater.

First day done In worked placement. We had to get the place ready for opening, sweep floors, mop floors and prepare the table for the customer. As the day went on we learned how to speak some simple Spanish and how to get a bill and how to say card in Spanish . We then had a busy day from 1pm until 4pm as there was school kids just finished school so we were always kept going. We also cleaned a store room top to bottom and they were very grateful for that.

Longest day of my life

# data[].attributes.body
Day 3 of work placement once again we did the usual got the restaurant ready for open by mopping floors sweeping floors and getting tables ready for customers. Really getter used to the simple Spanish understanding the drinks been put through so it easier to get. I also made my first coffee in my work placement it was very different from making one at home with different cups used sometimes any cup that was there and available. After work me and Alex went for some food and a well deserved beer and some food.

Good chat and a good haircut with a tourist from holland.
Today I got to learn more about scissor work as my client had long hair on top and is something I am trying to improve on. I did some point cutting and some fading techniques doing some "scissor over comb".
Feeling good.

# data[].attributes.body
Good scenes in nerja

I struggled with this haircut because it was a totally new style for me. However I did find it to be a challenge that I quite enjoyed. I was mostly satisfied with the outcome. This image provides excellent insight into the style of Spanish hair.

When we got back from our trip to Nerja/Frigiliana I was so hungry and decided to stop in Lidl and pick up the ingredients for spaghetti bolognaise. I really thought it was going to be nice but as I got my first taste It was absolutely disgusting has a horrible after taste.
Won’t be eating spag ball ever again.

Sunday was a chill day for everyone to have that little extra sleep needed and to ring home see how everyone was doing.
