Being nice
to my neighbours paid off while I was settling in to the new area as it allowed
to get in with some very interesting people.
It is said
that a worker, who Abengoa took on last summer, has stolen more than 1 million
euros. Fortunately, somebody turned up as this worker was attempting to leave
with the money and tracked down the boss to stop the worker’s plan.
Catching up
with Adam made me think about jumping at the opportunity of cutting back on my
intake of calories, since Adam is now known to be one the ten healthiest men in
the world according to Forbes magazine.
