This riddle was sent to me by Miguel "Mike".
What English word has five eyes and a why? Thanks Mike. Keep it up.
By the way, noone's answered my first riddle yet: "What did the big chimney say to the little chimney?"
The word-dominoes competition in the First Certificate group was won by Angel, who managed to connect 9 dominoes correctly. Well done Angel, you've won a CD. Keep it up.

END-OF-COURSE PARTY
Tuesday 6th of May is a date I'm going to remember for a long time.
A group of students organised an End-of-Course BBQ (Barbecue) at Rosa's home, see Rosa's pic at:
and Party pics at:
We ate very well (canadian maple leaf syrup cookies and María's home-made browny included), drank moderately (some of us had to drive back to work, but we did just get a modicum of a good 12-year-old Speyside whisky, provided by yours truly!) and sang old campfire songs such as "Oh, Susanna" and "She'll be coming round the mountain": Luís Miguel took the excellent photographs that you can see at the previous web address. All in all it was a most enjoyable party that will linger on "among my souvenirs" for a very long time.
Thanks friends.
Song "Among my souvenirs" - sung by Dave Williams (what a voice!)
