On the Eighth day of Christmas...



HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!!


I'm spending 1 day recuperating from the 7th day (or night) of Christmas! 7+1=8 ;o)

Did you eat your 12 grapes last night on the 12 strokes of midnight? We did!



And wishing my kiwi sister (in New Zealand) a Happy Birthday!!! We used to celebrate her birthday right after the twelve strokes of midnight by bringing out a candle-lit cake and then having presents. The year after while after we moved to Spain we started going out for New Year's Eve parties with our friends and then had a New Year's lunch for her birthday... which isn't always as wonderful as it sounds (in spite of the excellent food in the restaurants my dad chooses) due to getting to bed at 7-8 am after imbibing a wee bit too much bubbly and then cubatas (rhum+coke). oops! But for the past couple of years she's been enjoying the benefits of a summer birthday, lucky her! We've got a special surprise for her this year, which I won't specify yet because sometimes she comes around here to read and I don't know exactly when her boyfriend is going to spring it on her! ;o)

And if we can get tickets in a couple of hours we'll be sitting in a beautiful little Gothic church in the Barrio G�tico enjoying a Spanish classical guitar concert! Fingers crossed!
