Not sure when we're leaving Spain now!?
Hola! buenos dias! A couple of weeks ago we booked our flight for when we finally leave Spain. I've been telling everyone that we're due to come 'home' on the 9th November... and everyone has been getting excited about that! (not completely sure why) ;-) Late last night, Lucy received an email from easyJet saying that our flight for the 9th November has been cancelled! We had a little panic, until we ready the small (ish)…
Spanish iPod Translator
This might sound like some dodgy advertising pitch... but a while ago I downloaded a "Free Spanish iPod Translator" (from coolgorilla/lastminute.com). Although I haven't used it a lot, it has been useful when I have! :-P They've got other language packs: German, French and Greek.

I've posted some photos of the Houston's visit! Now I've got 10 days to do nothing but relax, swim and sunbathe... then…
Moved Apartments
As most of you are already aware, we moved apartments last week. The landlord of our old place uses it as a summer holiday home... so kicked us out (nah, wasn't that bad - we knew when we took the place on). We got the keys to the new apartment last Tuesday and spent a few days sorting, cleaning, moving, etc. It's a little smaller than our old apartment, but it has two major benefits:…
