It´s cooler here now, quite autumnal, the log burner has been lit too, I hate being cold and our lounge is on the north side so gets chilly. It used to be the donkey stabling before it was reformed so stays cool in the summer, but a bit much in the winter.
Rebecca, Antoni and Theo moved into their apartment last Friday, there was a delay over paperwork at customs so they had to wait for their belongings till then. I have been looking after Theo too as Rebecca has signed up for twice weekly Spanish lessons. She can speak and understand a certain amount of Spanish already, but she wants to be able to join in and converse fluently. Great fun, zooming cars etc along the floor and building robots and shapes with bricks, he has been a little unsettled with his change of routine, which is to be expected, but he is getting along fine. He has visited the local nursery a few times with each stay slightly longer, children have their own way of communicating so the language isn´t really bothering him and one of the teachers speaks English, so that helps. We have been repeating key words in Spanish to him for a while now so he gets to hear them so hopefully he will soon pick it all up.
We have been sharing our car until they can get one, it´s worked out quite well, they have been able to organise paperwork etc, all of which is done in person at the various offices and usually reams of it. we don´t go out much anyway. We have the annual car rally this weekend which means the mountain road is closed, so they may as well have use of it. This year they seem to have got it well organised with road blocks on driveways and side roads. Previous years when we didn´t know about it we have come across rally cars tearing round the bends, extremely disconcerting, so now we just stay home.
On a sad note, one of our furries, Benji, has been missing for three days, so unlike him as he loves his cuddles and food and is never far away. We just can´t find him, he has been a little under the weather so maybe he has just done what they tend to do gone off by himself.
We took Rebecca´s two furries to them yesterday so they were happily exploring their new home, loving climbing up the packing boxes and acquainting themselves to the new environment.
Well a few chores to be done before Theo´s visit this afternoon, so better get going.
Have a good weekend
take care

Oh, I hope Benji turns up. We used to have a cat and he went missing for over three weeks, he turned up like skin and bone, he was a nosey boy and he'd obviously been locked in somewhere. Don't give up hope yet. I think the worst bit is the not knowing. I'm pleased that Rebecca has arrived safely, it will take some time to get everything sorted out but it will be lovely you all being together again, and all those cuddles, I'm so pleased for you xx
ReplyDeleteI agree its the not knowing bit, we have had a couple of cats now that have just disappeared, so sad. Thank you, its lovely to be able to say see you soon and mean it xcx
DeleteI so agree with you that children have their own way of communicating. They take it all in their stride. There seems to be no language barrier for them. I remember when Rebecca (GD( arrived from the USA to live. She was two when she started the local play school and as from day 1 she loved it and she had no problems communicating at all :-) I bet it is that bit colder up there where you are. There is an icy wind down here in the city which makes me think of snow although it is too early to see that on the mountains. Do hope Benji is found soon. Keep well. Amanda x
ReplyDeleteI´m sure Theo will be teaching us before long. Yes, it´s that icy wind that gets you, if you can get out of that, the blue sky and sun make up for it xcx
DeleteI really appreciate your professional approach.These are pieces of very useful information that will be of great use for me in future.
