Another room finished

07.07.04 (8:39 am) [edit]

Yesterday was a blue ribbon day, I unpacked the last of the boxes. It’s taken five months but now everything has a home, or otherwise cleverly hidden away till the day FlyLady bites.

Palacio Andaloo is a small (though perfectly formed) house, but for the first time we have a “den”. OK the den also doubles up as study and spare room (for spare room read “guest wing”) but who cares! That’s just reminded me of something that happened a couple of years ago…I was online talking to a friend in Texas and the other Mr. Andaloo was working. Our apartment was small so the desk was in the spare bedroom. At one point the guy in Texas asked where the other Mr. Andaloo was, I said he was working in the bedroom. Thinking I was clarifying I said, “well it’s actually a bedroom-cum-study”. He asked, “what’s a cum study?” I literally fell on the floor laughing! Anyway…

All the den needed to complete it was a sofa bed. Easy. No. They clearly make sofa beds to be either ugly and uncomfortable to sit on, ugly and uncomfortable to sleep on or just plain ugly. I looked everywhere. Yesterday I wondered into a local shop and there it was, the mother of all sofa beds. It is NOT multi coloured psychedelic swirls, but plain green. Transfixed I kept counting the colour…one. I sat on it and it was comfortable. Now the big test, I unfolded it, lay down and could have drifted off into a peaceful sleep there and then. As if that wasn’t enough, secreted below was another pull-out single bed. I was in sofa bed heaven!

So this afternoon the guest wing of Palacio Andaloo will be declared open.

And now the weather: Scorchio

Woo. I'll bet your place is like heaven. :) *TWO* hot guys (albeit in love with each other and thus not available but still eye candy), Spain, Sunshine, etc. I'll bet that guestroom is going to get a lot of use :)

Isn't Spain about halfway between Canada and Turkey? (grin)

*TSSSSS* That was the sound of me putting a finger to my blushing face.
I hope it does get used a lot, I love having friends to stay. Hint, hint.

How many tbloggers can the guest wing hold? Yes, at the same time. Shall we begin a visit schedule?

There's a great scam that goes on here with summer rentals. (Firstly consider that clubs etc are open till lunch time during the summer.) A house which sleeps say six people will be rented by twelve people. Six have the beds during the night and six have the beds during the day. That said, we can take a minimum of six tBloggers (depending on morals) at any given time ;)

Great! As I have no morals (being a Californian), I'll do both shifts, AM and PM.

Hey. I could lose my morals if need be. :)

Seriously though, Mr Andaloo. I am going to Hawaii next winter but after that...I have no plans for a summer vacation. I have never been to Spain and my absolute favorite painting in the whole world is in in Madrid and someday I just have to see it live and in person. And I have had such good success meeting tbloggers (right fotocali, we had tons of fun!) that I am eager to repeat the experience.

And you know, if you ever want to get away from Spain's summer heat, Michigan is a really nice place to visit in June, July, August.
