Monday 6th May 2013

A little cloudy, but by 10.30 beautiful.

Dragged the kids into La Carlota to post some cards, had a brief chat with my mate Carlos.  Then shoe hunting for the princess, in fact for two pairs of shoes.  This girl just keeps growing!

And treated myself to a new swimsuit and an inflatable armchair for the pool with it's own cup holder, for my servants to bring me Champagne................. ooooh no I've just woken up.  Where was I?  Oh yes treated myself to a new swimsuit, to Aston's dismay.

Back in time for lunch outside with Paul, and then siesta.  Which I spent mainly stopping the kids from fighting, making sure Ethan doesn't flood their bathroom whilst showering on his own, and making lemon drizzle cupcakes!  Oooh and a spot of updating blogger.

Siesta over, time to make tea - Rustled up a little Ratatouille.  Packed the kids off to bed and then tried to Skype Grandma,  connection was mostly good, then after 50mins kept dropping.   It was nice to speak to her, as only spoke to Grandad last week as mum was at my Aunty Yvonnes - having some girls time out.

Instead cracked on and copied over all the text I'd typed previously and published on blogger.

Then catch up on some emails and finished by 10.47.  Maybe a spot of Spanish TV?    Followed by 7 minutes of ads.  They even tell you how long the ads will be.  They save the time on films especially by cutting the beginnings and hardly showing credits at the end of the films.  Weird.  It is also funny that some names they translate into Spanish, whilst others they give it a name they think suitable.  For example there is a film called Stepford Wives - if you don't know the film it is about a group of men that have an electronic chip placed in their wives brain, which in turn makes them polite, dainty, wear cute very ladylike dresses,etc. etc.  you know what I mean.  But instead of changing it to Stepford Esposa's(Stepford Wives) they changed the name to Perfect Ladies.
