There are some things that are essential in this part of the world...
In Barcelona in specific, one of those things is 'Pan con Tomate' which is bread with tomato and olive oil. They prepare most sandwiches here with this as standard... no butter or marg... its oil and tomato! The Tomato they use is special its called 'tomate de rama' because the tomato comes off a vine that is like a branch... You can use a single one of these tomatoes to spread accross lots of sandwiches.
Sienna will show you how to eat this... please take note of my breakdown just before the end of the video... 'dear lord I need to wipe her hands!'
Because its friday and lets face it... we've been busy here today... I present to you a few other oscar contenders...

There is a very dark cloud...
Looming over the normally bright skies of Barcelona lately. I'm speaking factually and metaphorically. I swear I'm going to scream if one more news person mentions the word 'crisis'. I am convinced that its probably that but combined in some way with strange planetary alignment or the moon or something. So many people, not excluding myself are in really rough times right now for a foray of reasons... Some are lamenting lack of jobs, disillusionment, struggling marriages, trust issues, depression... all the heavies are there. My biggest fear is that I'm going to run out of steam soon trying to do whatever I can to help keep people positive... Me, I'm always last in that list of course, but its easier that way...
I guess as an interim measure I should aim to note a few things every day that should be observed as they are definitely not gloomy....
so lets give this a try
1) Seestor finally has a new fancy phone and her ankle is on the mend and the cast has been removed! (ooh that was like a hat trick)
2) Sienna's giggle fits (nuff said)
3) In a stupid attempt to distract myself today I tried on a size 29 pair of jeans. They fit! Not saying I would concede to wearing them but damn it if I wasn't so accustomed to everything hanging off me, I could in theory wear them... LOL... guess it does't count when the bellies cascade over the top eh? (just kidding i'm not quite at that point yet)
There, did that help?

Giggles with jo jo and becks
Ahh it was so nice to have the girls here for a visit... Fredu is back with his camera and thus the release of the pics that were stored on the camera he had with him...
Fredu also made this cute video of miss Sienna with the giggles... Becks was the source of the giggles of course... hmm its taken all day and the video is not cooperating... perhaps we can add it up later.
