The people are coming the people are coming!

I remember this mad voiceover in the old old old from way back when TV commercial for African Lion Safari. See I do remeber Candaian things every once and a while! Well yea it had voiceovers for the animals and I think if I am not mistaken it was the girafe that exclaimed that the people were coming! Well as the girafe did all those years ago... I too can say the same thing! The people are coming and they are Joey, Sally, and now Paul and Richard!!!! Fresh off the plane from Oz! I'm so excited!!!

Best get my house sorted quickly. Fredu has been hard at work putting up shelves in our funky little dressing room situated right off the bathroom! Storage soloutions rock!

I'm slowly recovering from a full day meeting yesterday with the peeps from the evil ad agency's other offices around Europe... the long meeting was followed up by a city tour on a Trixi and then tapas in Raval and dinner in the gotico... too bad that a lot of people were then subsequently poisoned by the food at Caracoles... I was lucky as I was so stuffed from the Tapas I did not eat much! My poisoning came more from the karishnakofs we drank at the small bar afterwards... so much for resting before the feiestivities of this weekend...

The villa for this summer may just be all sorted... quick quick quick... Hope that we get it and it was really that simple... last year's searching was madness! I don't think cdn peeps are coming this year but the london crew will be in full force so that's okay!

off to clean house and organise life!

Ciao todos!

I'm back

I'm jet lagged but I'm back.

I'm happy to report although this entry will be less amusing because of it... neither of my feet nor other appendages managed to cause me humiliation during my 30h of travel that I've undertaken in the last week. My right leg did it's very best to go completely numb just as the left one did in my fated Amsterdam flight but I was smarter this time and revived it before attempting to use it for mobility purposes... I must be getting old... circulation is clearly a challenge for my limbs on flights.

I had a brilliant time at home and really enjoyed the quality time spent with my mum and my sis and the rest of the family. Although we had lots of jetting around to do to acomplish all the shopping that was needed for the party and for other purposes, it was really really nice!

The weather in bcn has decided to play nice again and we're back in the business of being spring and we're looking at 22 degrees right now which is just fine by me. Smelling the sea air again is nice... spending a bit of time away from here helps you notice the things that you can stop noticing after a while. Someone once told me that after a while living in Vancouver you stop noticing the Rockies... maybe because they are always covered by rain clouds? he he he...

The week is filling up at a rapid pace and the girlies arrive friday for a whirlwind of fun.

Pictures will follow...
