countdown to liftoff

well, no more delays, no more extra days in canada - we're gettin out of here. Thats right, after an extended stayover, we fly out tomorrow lunchtime to start the main game.

The last few weeks have been filled with vast amount of couch-sitting, doughnut-eating and sporadic shopping outings - time well wasted. R is up on her feet - thanks to all of you who sent notes of symathy and encouragement - and for those who didnt, but thought about doing it but never really found the time. Theres not really much to report here - all the best bits of Canada were seen in the big trip to the rockies, so this last week or so has been about recharging batteries and putting on kilos.

Most of our days at the moment involve waking at around 10, ambling out of bed and sorting some breakfast before sitting down and thinking about what we might like for lunch. That usually takes us well into the afternoon, when a nap is required (practice for the spanish siesta). The silence is only broken by the grumble of stomachs making room for the upcoming dinner, which takes us well into the evening. It's tough i know, especially seeing as though we have to do it all again the next day.

We've compiled a collection of over 500 photos already, so if theres anything you want to see on this site just let us know and we'll doo something about it. but for now, i'm getting hungry and the cat is stirring, which means it must be time for lunch...
