Asturias, astonishing and astorming CD

Sorry - once more for being a brutal blogger but between you and the rest of the blogsphere the reasons have been multiple. I will try and outline some of the interesting things that have happened recently. We go off to Asturias to Northern Spain tomorrow at 5.45 am - cannot wait to wake up the kids just to show them what it feels like! We have been to Northern Spain before and we have friends who live there Bill(common spanish name) and Ros(from Northern Ireland). They also have a wee girl and a thousand steps and live in Bilbao. We are about three hours away.

Well a wee summary of where we are in the grand scheme of building and I will endeavour to add some new pictures maybe even tonight if all goes well. So.........a year ago now we found building firm x.......and in january with much optimism and vigiour we moved out into a flat in the west end for a fistful of money for 4 weeks. We moved back in in May.........helped by a week in friends and then renting a flat from another friend which was vacant. The 'job' was supposed to take 6-8 weeks but took 5 months and there is still some residual stuff to fininsh. Looks good though but the fininishing touch was the addition of the speakers into their stands in the kitchen last night. Suzie and I build an Ikea desk last night, I couldnt help but be impresses at how cleverly it all fitted together once all the components were the correct way round and how the instructions baffled us. When we are away hopefully the painters will have resurrected the hall and the plumber finished the last few bathroom components. Thereafter the carpets should arrive in August, the replacement tumble drier in July and the baliffs in Novemeber. Astonishingly it looks like the finishing straight is in line!

I will be packing ipod, logitech speakers and shades and some books. Hannah is a bit concerned about the lack of TV and is keen I take my computer.

A storming selection of Johnny Cash American Recordings have been blessing my kitchen and ipod and I cannot tell you how amazing they are!!!
