Hi everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend.

With last Thursday being a holiday, I imagine that many of you took advantage and enjoyed a long weekend.

Un puente as you say in Spanish.

In the UK, public holidays are moved to Mondays, which usually gives people a three-day weekend. We call them Bank holidays.

In Spain, though, puentes often turn into four-day breaks.

Or even longer some times.

One year I remember we had un acueducto!

Have a productive week.

How many of you enjoyed an aperitif with friends this weekend?

You would never do a puente. You could have a long weekend though:

We had a long weekend in the south of France

It’s better to say that you take a day off.

Did you take Friday off or did you work?

To damage a relationship so badly that it can’t be repaired.

Never burn your bridges. You never know when you will need to cross them again.
