going to Bristle!!!

We've been very busy this weekend trying to collect all the documents that the estate agents need in order to do sign everything as soon as possible.

(thanks Lloyd for the e in estate agent)

So we've been opening boxes and taking everything out in our search for papers, tax slips, my BA(hons), etc etc. Of course the papers we needed were NOT in the same box, not even in the box labeled as as "important papers".
My dad packed most boxes and he did such a wonderful job that once opened I couldn't put everything back in again. Humpty Dumpty all over again.

We also noticed that next Thursday is fiesta time (again) and here they do something called puente - bridge- to get a longer weekend. For instance: if a fiesta day is on a Thursday they do a "bridge" day so nobody goes to work on the Friday. This weekend there's a fiesta on the Thursday and another one next week so... the bridge grows a lot, meaning that most people work until Wednesday this week and they go back to work next Tuesday or Wednesday in some cases.
Complicated, isn't it? Whatever. In any case, Spain is not the European country with the most fiestas as far as I know, but the UK surely must have the least bank holidays.

Anyway. We need to get some money to Spain sooner than Friday in order to being able to sign that day, and the best way is to travel and bring it in cash.
So and due to the fact that "the husband" needs to work at least some days this week, I'm going!! Thanks god for Easyjet and I'm flying to Bristle tomorrow. Sadly, I'll be back on Wednesday, but I do hope to see some friends.
How's the weather there? Here we're still using t-shirts most of the day.
