HAPPINESS IS....

happiness is... a warm cat and dog to keep you company on a rainy day...

powercuts are very regular this time of year and are romantic as well (if you have enough candles) ...

storm from the east

we had a storm last night and were smart enough to remove the car in the middle of the night thinking the 'party-tent-garage' would probably collapse, which it did...

it's a bird!... it's an airplane!... no it's....??
(who can finish this sentence?)

Impressions of Córdoba

Went to Córdoba for 2 days with mamma... the mezquita is impressive

It was cold but sunny...

Walking the narrow streets

and even time for some romance!

something to think about;
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

PAINTING

New project to keep us occupied... we're going to paint the whole house on the outside. Not for people with acrophobia (fear of heights for the non-latin speakers)

same moment: full moon rising over the valley in the east while the sun sets in the west.

1st day of 2007

The first day of the new year and it feels like spring! Everything is green and the sun is wonderful this time of the year. The almonds are starting to bloom and in a week or two will look like they're covered in cotton wool.

We actually still need a lot of rain to help us get through the summer so I'm thinking about doing some rain-dance classes instead of going to the gym.
