still unpacking....

Big Jim flew back to Holland today, and I am busy unpacking and finding homes for our many lovely purchases (go euro!) and gifts. But I got a phone call a little while ago that still has me shaking my head. The conversation went something like this:

R. (he looked after the house while we were in the US): "I forgot to mention I took a bottle of wine while you were away."

mylifeinspain: "Oh don't worry about it. I didn't even notice."

R.: "It was the LAN, 1997, and it was AWFUL! Seriously AWFUL!!"

mylifeinspain, to herself: "Well, maybe you shouldn't take bottles of our wine every damn time I leave the country! Seriously WTF....you take a pricey wine without asking and then bitch that it wasn't up to your standards?!"

Ok, not as serious a transgression as when another neighbor watching the house spent the 200 euros we left behind to be used to pay a bill at the car garage, but really why is it so hard to find someone in this village who will just throw some water at the plants semi-regularly and generally leave things be in the house when we are away?!

Errrr, grumble grumble grumble. At least the fur bundles made the return trip worthwhile. :-) But thankfully the countdown to move mylifeinspain et al. to mylifein??? has begun! :-D

hasta pronto,
mylifeinspain

Oh..does this mean that you will be moving from Spain??

Spotted your Kiva banner when I was last visiting your site and thanks to you I am now lending 25 dollars to a woman in Sierra Leone and I've got a banner on my site as well.
Lovely cat photos, and shame about the wine! Or should I say, shame on the person that borrowed it.
