Visitors

A few weeks back the lovely Sean McCann's friend Grant stopped into Barca for the weekend. He's a very important person in the goverment you see thus was over on this side of the pond and decided to jet to BCN for the weekend instead of staying in the Hague. Smart cookie! He was an absolute darling and can only hope we see him again one day soon. It would be even better if he could convince Mr. Sean to come along too!

He snapped a very rare full family portrait of us all at my favorite sunny terrace. Thanks Grant!

Grant and the girlz

I got just that little bit too excited...

last night I received a txt message from the British Consulate in Madrid telling me that my new passport will arrive within 24-48h... I then checked the bank to see if they withdrew the money for the fee or simply the money for the postage... sigh... it appears that they have only charged me for postage thus its very unlikely that they have processed the wee one's passport as they would have charged me that fee as well. I am so gutted, I really thought that I had perhaps finally gotten to the point where we could book the tickets home for a visit... Now I sit and wait to see why they did not process the passport, while at the same time hoping and praying that she may have more sucess with the Canadian one which is also apparently being processed... I can't wait until this nightmare is over with!

In the interim I've been busy going to a job interview and mostly giving Sienna interesting hair styles... She's not too pleased but really can you blame her?


Yes I have enough hair for a mohawk


okay then... right mum... this is cool?

He's back!

And very tired! The 'sleeper' train he took last night arrived in BCN this morning... I think the sleep part wasn't so easy as his 'sleeping compartment' was more like a coffin as it was so cramped... poor thing he's just shattered a 12h train journey like that is certainly not for the faint of heart... Sienna is of course more than happy to show him the ropes and they're both snoozing peacefully as I type.


sleep factory!

Yesterday after making it out of the house by 10am the girls and I were off on our daily walk. Lilli of course was not too pleased but really she never is... We ran into a TV crew filming along where we were walking on our way down to the beach. The bald headed presenter with an australian accent stopped us to admire Lilli and of course Sienna who was snuggled in her papoose sleeping... he was very charming and chatty and asked us how far they were from the Cathedral... At the very same moment a couple came by with the tiniest Chihauha. I was instantly disinterested in the TV guy and diverted my attention to the tiny puppy that our dog was actually playing with! I could not believe my eyes! Lilli Martini, playing with another caninne species? The TV presented looked quite surprised at my disinterest in him... the owner of the dog kept telling me 'that guy, the one with the cameras he's famous! Very famous, he did that show about being in Vegas for 5 dollars a day!' He was absolutely star struck... It was quite funny as I have absolutely no idea who the presenter was... the dog owner obviously could not speak to him as he did not speak English... it was a wierd situation... To be honest I was too busy watching the puppies play to really care. Eventually the TV guy and his crew chipped off and wished us well. Perhaps I missed my opportunity at 15 minutes of fame... ne mind I say! I still have no clue who the supposed celeb was/is... I don't think I'll be loosing much sleep over it but I am slightly curious as to who he was?
