(also, it's probably not big enough for all of us, so you'll have to babysit 4 kids for the wife and i to have a week there )
3 bedrooms wouldn't be big enough? it's a long ways off though...
i can't wait to make it available to friends to stay there (even when we're not around). gijon is so charming. small city at 10pm EVERYBODY is outside doing stuff. probably alot like bcn but without the backwards logic flying around.
it's not very good...i have a migraine. the entire planet must now suffer!
@blues: i wish we could fly you in. familiar with EU building rules? and also local Gijon building rules?
me either. apparently, i have to get a permit just to paint the walls in my own apartment. yes, even if i'm doing it myself on the weekend.
also, the family has a local contractor who builds the houses, renovates the apartments and does the small projects, too. feel super lucky we already have somebody on board who we know and trust. he's about to start renovating my wife's parents apartment (a few blocks from our place).
slept on the floor for much of last night, not really 'feeling it' atm.
having a trustworthy builder/contractor is worth a lot! we had my wife's uncle do a ton of work for us before we moved in to our current house, and we wouldn't have been able to do it without him. maurice, you're a bloody star, you are!
i have it on good authority that a particular director general of a particular third world country has blamed flooding in a particular part of a city on the massive size of a particular embassy. it's so big that it's sinking into the ground and raising the water level.
ummm...seriously...it was said.
most of us believe it's the lack of drainage systems but what does anybody really know?
i'm so happy for the weekend. i think i can finally kick this damn cold i've had for two weeks...

Okay, Airbnb. Sounds good (I could do with another income stream!)

Seen the news about Zimbabwe! That could go one of two ways – surprised it's taken so long – hopefully it'll go the right way...

i think they are happy to keep mugabe as a figurehead for now, so long as they keep his wife out of power.
