Welcome to my crib!


well I mean it literally!

The heat has subsided here just slightly... thank goodness as it was getting pretty uncomfortable. We're busy trying to get things organised for the weekend. We're also gearing up for the battle with the gov't who have just confirmed to me that they have denied our application to receive the one off 2500 euro baby bonus... they cite that I have not lived here for 2 years prior to the birth of Sienna... of course I have but proving it to them in the way they want to see it is not too easy and lets just say they're not about to lay down and roll over so I'm strapping on my boxing gloves!!!


Some people are cooperating at certain times of the day and playing nicely by them selves (sporting the lovely top from Noeleen)

My friend Karm's ass called 911 today by accident... they rang him back to let him know... I giggled and called it an assergency!

Happy Canada day!

Today started bright and early at 5h30 am and certain parties ie. me, did not manage to get back to sleep after someone's early breakfast... we were out and on the road before 9am en route to the park for walkies! By the time we returned home close to 10am I was ready to collapse. When the troops finally were ready for their mid morning naps... the phone rang. I am clearly not meant to actually function today... On a positive note, the heat has subsided a bit and the breeze is up a bit more so its not as stifling hot as yesterday!

I'm still a bit baffled about how weird random pieces of information manage to compute within my head... mostly this happens when i lie awake early morning trying to fall back asleep... What exactly it all means I really don't know but... lets just jot down some of these thoughts just for fun shal we?

• My two last boyfriend's mothers live in France
• Two of my three friends named Joanna don't have their ears pierced and the third has a monster almost cork sized piercing in one ear
• Sienna was born on groundhog day but of course since its not observed here I didn't realise this until afterwards... meaning both her and I share our birthdays with halmark card observed days (mine being st. patrick's day)

Clearly I need to get back to work as my brain is scary when it runs on autopilot.

The heat continues here in the land of Barcelona

The streets are full of fireworks and celebrations with the recent EuroCopa win of the Spanish team. The bub is tucked into bed albeit a bit later than the past few days but the sleep pattern regulation regime that she's been on since we returned last week is not yet firmly established. Lilli is tucked in under my arm doing her best to ignore the shouts and fireworks.

I spent a lovely girlie afternoon with the lovely Mele who trudged acros town through the heat and then hiked up our monumental stairs! We prepared a scrumptious lunched and lounged out on the terrace and caught the light but very well appreciated breezes.

Not long now until the villa. I am so excited to see the London crew as none of them have met Sienna yet. It will be so nice to catch up with everyone properly over a few drinks and giggles.

Mum's next door neighbour at home gave Sienna and Isabella little summer dresses as gifts when we were there. So sweet...


super squooge!!!!!
