I woke up at around 8:30 and started getting ready for work. I threw on a a pair of black jeans and a t-shirt, and put my hair up in a ponytail. I slapped on a minimum amount of makeup.
When I was done, I grabbed my bag and my car keys and headed out the building.
The drive wasn't very long, the cafe being only 10 minutes away.
'Bon dia!' I greeted Diego with a smile.
'You can leave your stuff in the back. There's an apron waiting for you aswell. When you're ready, I'll fill you in about what you have to do.'
I followed his instructions. The cafe wasn't opened to customers just yet.
'Your english is really good.' I told Diego as soon as I returned to the till.
'Oh, thank you.' he said shyly. 'I've been learning it since I was young. I dream of travelling one day.'
'It's really good.' I nodded my head. 'Travelling is worth it, so I hope you get to do that.'

After Diego filled me in on what my tasks are about today, we opened the cafe, customers already coming in.
'Bon dia. Qué puedo conseguirte?' (Hello, what can I get you?)' I asked with a smile.
'Un cappuccino si us plau.'
I started preparing the drink, Diego joining me getting ready another drink for a customer.
'Was that even Spanish?' I asked quietly, making him chuckle.
'Catalan.'
'I don't know Catalan, Diego. Only Spanish.'
'You'll be fine.' he said laughing, both of us returning to our customers.
After I handed her the drink, I started getting the next orders. Some wanted to eat in, some were on the go, so the cafe started getting really busy.

It was now 14:45 and I was finally having a break. I sat at one of the tables and started eating.
'Oh, wow, this is good.' I said after taking a bite of the croquettes.
'Family recipe.' Arturo said laughing, appearing all of a sudden.
'Arturo! When did you get here?' I asked confused.
'Just got here. Was wondering if you two are able to work or if you need any help.' he said with a thick Spanish accent.
'How's your wife?'
'She's good, thank you. Told her about the British girl joining us. She can't wait to meet you.' a smile appeared on my face.
'Irina's been doing really well.' Diego added.
After me and Diego were done eating, we cleaned our table and reopened the cafe.
***
It was now 20:00 and we just closed the cafe.
'Today was great.' I said smiling.
'Are you always this excited?' Diego asked laughing.
'Diego!' Arturo said sternly.
'No, no.' I shook my head, smiling. 'It's okay. And yes.' I said laughing looking at Diego. 'You should try it.'
We said our goodbyes and parted ways, me driving home.

After I posted one of the pictures I took while I was sightseeing, I started getting ready for bed.
