Its suspiciously quiet here this morning...

Normally this is not the case at quarter past eleven on a Saturday morning. Fredu is lightly snoring the dog is buried under the duvet and the bub is in her bed sleeping like an angel. I of course have been clever and used the time to sweep and mop the floor. How exotic, yes! Nah but its so much easier to do when everyone is sleeping!

The heat has definitely subsided and after walking the pooch last evening we stopped at a hidden little terrace behind our flat to have a drink before heading home. I was down right chilly. good thing I had an extra little baby blanket to cover my legs with! I guess the whispers of autumn are drifting in. Today is overcast and grey but its good sometimes as it helps get stuff done during the day.

I think we are surely in the queue for the worst parents ever awards as 6 months into her life and we've only just installed some decorations for her room. Bad enough that we still catch ourselves calling it the 'spare room' instead of 'Sienna's room'... terrible terrible, I mean we don't even have any paintings or photos on her walls for decoration! I shall hopefully remedy this today in some way. Poor little sausage!

Hon and Naoko arrive next week for their first visit to Barcelona. It will be such a treat to see them as its been a long long time since I've seen my 'little brother'and his lovely wife. She is apparently very excited to meet Lilli dog... I'm just hoping she manages to behave herself. Being a teenager is making things a bit hairy (literally) as she is quite the little madam and of course it goes without saying quite a little bitch (literally).

The city right now is pretty much empty of my friends right now. Mele and Nico are the only remainders but I do believe they are soon off to Paris for a wedding therefore soon there will be none! It really is true about the city clearing out of locals at this time of the year. Vero is still in France and Joanna has returned to London to be with her parents for a short spell. Eric of course is or was here but is busy with an insane work schedule and blossoming new romance...

Jo Jo and her lovely girlfriend, Becks are set to roll in for a visit early Sept. Jo jo is anxiously awaiting a thrice-daily visit to her favorite gelato shop while here. I just love them they are so cool. Again it will be a great treat to have them in town for a couple of days and for them to meet Sienna of course!

Best get moving and get some more life-admin done while its still quiet here... it surely will not last long!

Today...

Instead of walking the girls in the park, I was escorted to the gym where I was told that I must get in there and do some swimming... I've been so slack lately in my gym regime its terrible! I managed to do about 30 minutes of sploshing about and then climbed out and lumbered home. I can't remember the last time my energy was so low... oh wait, that was when I was pregnant... and no, I am not pregnant again... but I'm just saying...

I came home and stumbled across a really really exciting job posting. I can honestly say its been a very long time since I've seen something so interesting and its client-side not agency side which is what I'm really aiming for! Now lets just see if the fates have the same ideas as I do with this one...

On the other side of the coin, my head is teeming with new ideas and goodness if I only had some cash we could do some really cool projects! That will come, if you build it, they will come?

Amongst all the other clever things I did this morning... I managed to scald 3 fingers on my right hand while anxiously opening the bottle sterilizer... I'm so smart... and so so so sore!

Things are nearly back to normal...

in our mini technical world anyway... we've still no photo editing software but we're making do... we've of course not stopped taking pictures but its been a bit slower to re-size them with the limited software we do have...


Boob or frap? I think the choice is clear...


Smiling with our hair clipped back


Finally sleeping in my own bed


Not long till I can wear all her shoes!


I'm eating an olive as I'm born in the med so I surely must like them right?


Cuddles... featuring the lovely scarf auntie mele brought us from Puerto Rico!


I got to try chocolate mousse!

Of course Lilli had to help clean up...


Give me all your money!
