I remember vaguely just how busy life was when my two children were in their teens. We rarely had a minute, and when we did were too exhausted to do much for ourselves. Your energy seems endless!<br />It must be tiring for FR to be working such long hours on the building work, butGaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-4495960303703378912014-09-01T13:24:17.485+02:002014-09-01T13:24:17.485+02:00Hello, Perpetua and thank you for your words of en...Hello, Perpetua and thank you for your words of encouragement. Although Mateo has just finished his resit and returned without much sense of achievement, I am hoping that he will be able to move into his Bachillerato year without the need to repeat his last year - which is what often happens here in Spain when students don't make the grade. He tells me that when there's only one subject ArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-68553472133240599502014-09-01T13:18:08.708+02:002014-09-01T13:18:08.708+02:00Hello Jane and Lance,

I am smiling as I think about your own gardening projects and how truly appalling you would find things here just now!! I think it's the dust that sometimes gets me down - especially when Pip is charging around. He kicks up so much dust that he's hardly visible and then all the stuff finds its way ArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-87886167254698735492014-09-01T13:13:35.737+02:002014-09-01T13:13:35.737+02:00Yes, Janice, a lot of things have slotted into pla...Yes, Janice, a lot of things have slotted into place this year in one way or another. The summer had its less than good moments too but they are hopefully over and mending now and the overwhelming feeling is that it's been a good one. <br />It is almost a year since you visited, isn't it? Put that way, the year has flown by.

I hope the resits go well and the children will flourish both at school and in all their other activities during the coming year. The garden project looks very promising and your Zentangles are just amazing! Please wish Ruy the best of luck for his first competition. He's obviously got a natural talent for archery. :)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-31237250448002404622014-09-01T09:24:48.924+02:002014-09-01T09:24:48.924+02:00Hello Annie,

Surely, it does not get better than this.<br /><br />And, it is good to note that you are relaxed about the progress of the work. It will all come together, but it is so good to enjoy the process and not be stressed about it.

I remember how you felt about last summer.....your first real one at Casa Rosales, and making the decision that the working pattern you had didn't quite fit what you wanted to do. So, another year on, and the Casa Rosales project is developing beautifully, work that you are clearly loving has opened up and you are being able to use yourJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449652020751269674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-54407974506141214622014-08-31T22:38:33.341+02:002014-08-31T22:38:33.341+02:00A summer to be proud of.
