Friday, 1st December.
Today was the day I left Rio de Janeiro to fly back to Madrid, Spain.
Saturday, 2nd December.
Today I arrived back in Madrid. I said goodbye to Gail at the airport, and as she flew back home, I got on a train back to Torre Pacheco to be picked up by June, who then took me back to my apartment.
Sunday, 3rd December.
Today was spent recovering at home after my holiday. I woke up at around 10 am with a cold and had to start popping pills for a cough. I put some washing in the washing machine, unpacked my case and generally began to get used to returning to my home.
In the afternoon, I watched some TV and some football, but spent most of it asleep on the sofa under a blanket before going to bed at about 10 pm.
