The view from the back

My blog is about our move to Spain, to be exact it's about the intergration of a techno junkie and his lovely wife of 30 yrs into 18th century Spain.

A dark day
Sunday, June 30, 2013 @ 5:13 PM

 Sunday 30 June , a dark day , had a couple of visitors today collecting furniture we've sold sorry to see some of it go the worst was our pine wardrobes and large chest , we had these made 14 yrs ago and have waxed them twice a year since when we moved them yesterday me and he lovely wife thought we'd give them another coat of wax and a buff up so 2 hours later the looked great . Today the new owner arrives pays his cash and starts to load whilst he and his mate are carrying the chest with 13 drawers in they tilt it nd most of the draws drop in the road splitting 2 of the fronts , normally worth a laugh but not so funny this time his response , never mind ill glue them after stripping and the paint will hide it all ! The lovely wife just went in it was all too much.  So the bedroom looks bare with just a bed now the kitchen glass cabinets are empty and the wall looks bare without the wine racks. But what makes a dark day ? Lewis not winning the GP ? No vettel's DNF was compensation enough, so what ? Well the first of July was supposed to be our first week in Andalusia but here we are sat in the UK paying rent in Spain waiting for team manaña to get a move on .  I've been looking at ferries to Santander and late July is fully booked so to add insult to injury we might have to drive  the long way round . 1500 miles - 2 - 3 days drive in mid summer holiday traffic great.  Now I am unable to post a new thread on the chit chat forum due to a fault ARRRRRRRR 

i must remember that this is the start of our new life and the start of the old one was no picnic LOL but a few easy breaks would be nice.
