Another week. James is back after a successful week in Lanzarote, unfortunetly his luggage with his work clothes and luggage isn't.

The kids are settling in amazingly well at school. Ethan has loads of Spanish friends and is not phased by the fact they speak a different language. Natalia has made a friend in her class called Amanda, she is not Spanish, British are Chinese, we are still trying to establish her nationality. The Chinese kids at the kids school as a rule of thumb are vicious and best avoided, which suprised me!

We are going mini golf this afternoon and then to the beach, taking a picnic. the weather dipped for a day or too earlier in the week meaning I needed a tee shirt as opposed to a vest and we had a couple of light showers but it is now scorching again. I hate doing the ironning in this heat but at least I don't have to worry what to wear.

Ethan has taken to having a fetish for being tied up and tying his sister up; this is all related to watching Captain America. When I expressed my concern he replied straight faced, I am practising for when I am older. Then added incase he was kidnapped.


We really hope Nana Linda had a great 60th birthday, not that she looks anywhere near 60.

Well better go and iron.
