El Tiempo

The weather has been pissy. Its just been raining on and off for over a week. Sometimes the clouds are really black and they cover the mountains but the sun is still shining in front and it lights up all the little white pueblos it looks awesome.
This morning it was damp and almost frosty and there was mist coming off the little ponds on the golf course.
Its really dark in the mornings, it feels like im getting up in the middle of the night. That always reminds me of christmas because i always got up so early it was still dark.
The sun is out now for a bit. but i think it will rain again later. Because of the rain i have been having lots of baths and eating lots of soup. yum.

Its raining. Hooray because it means our water might not get cut off, and oh crap because i just got wet.
Things are moving on slowly with the house. We are all in now with hot water included. The element was gone in the boiler so i went to some dodge spanish electrical shop and the woman gave me the scankiest element ever, and ive only seen 2! Michael managed to get it all wired in with the help of my head torch and some swearing. Yeaterday we got some temporary lighting up and we even cooked dinner on the new oven! So only 9 months late, not bad eh? For Spain.

Keys!

New house at last! Unfortionatly we are still waiting for the water and electricity to be turned on.
Went to Ikea in Sevilla on saterday and got everything for the house, we spent about 7 hours in there, missed lunch and dinner! We got stopped by the police on the way back. They looked at all Michaels papers, then asked us to open the back of the van. When they saw all the flat packs they laughed and said Ikea?
So we got away with that one. Most stuff is out of the old house now so we should be in sometime this week, Fingers crossed!
