Long weekend

On Monday it's Martin Luther King, a holiday around her for some, and Luca won't have school. Last week, we had a 4 day weekend and at home because of bad weather, and it was hard, even harder to return to school knowing that he didn't even feel completely familiarized with the new kids and teachers. By Wednesday he was alright, and by Friday he was the king of mambo at school! I guess we are both very sociable. I am pleased because in less than a month that we are here, and really, 10 days since we have been alone, I have managed to make some connections, some possible new friendships and I don't feel lonely at all. I actually like being alone, which I am not very frequently, but when I am, I always have a project going on, or things to solve or things to clean or pick up...

El lunes es el dia de Martin Lutero King, vacaciones por aqui, y Luca no tendra cole. La semana pasada, tuvimos un fin de semana de 4 dias en casa debido al mal tiempo, y no fue facil, aun peor fue el regreso al cole sabiendo que no se habia familiaridado aun con los ninhos y profesoras nuevas. El miercoles ya estaba bien, y el viernes Luca ya era el rey del mambo en el cole! Asi que concluyo que los dos debemos ser muy sociables. Estoy contenta porque en menos de un mes que estamos aqui, y en realidad, 10 dias que hemos estados solos, me las he apanhado para hacer algunas conexiones, algunas posibles amistades y no me siento nada sola. De hecho disfruto estando sola, que no lo estoy muy a menudo, pero cuando lo estoy, siempre tengo algun proyecto o cosas que resolver o cosas que limpiar o recoger...

There is nothing like the library to get inspired. I discovered it last week, very close to my home, and we have been there a couple of times since. I believe they are going to get to know us soon. I went one morning alone, while Luca was at school, and got a bunch of interesting books that were calling me. I am working on reconditioning a side table and trying to get my home in good shape, and as you can see, I always have hope to one day be able to play that guitar that is always looking at me...

No hay nada como ir a la biblioteca para inspirarme. La descubri la otra semana, y muy cerca de mi casa, y hemos estado alli un par de veces desde entonces. Creo que nos van a llegar a conocer. Un dia fui sola, cuando Luca estaba en el cole, y encontre muchos libros interesantes que me estaban "llamando". Estoy redecorando una mesita y tambien tratando de arreglar mi hogar un poco, y como podeis ver siempre tengo esperanzas de que algun dia podre tocar esta guitarra que me mira...

And I am participating in a very original challenge that my sister has organized...how is it going to come out...not sure but one thing is for sure, in the process all the participants are having lots of fun. I will post in more detail about it soon...

Y estoy participando en un desafio muy original que ha organizado mi hermana...como va a salir...no se pero una cosa esta clara, en el proceso las participantes se lo estan pasando pipa. Ya os contare con mas detalle pronto...
