We are nearly there! I painted the radiator today so this means we just have the touching up to do and any second coats. The green is good. It seemed a little bright at first but once dried it looked great. It's a little bit of springtime in his bedroom :) The carpet is due to arrive next monday so we're looking forward to sleeping back in a bedroom and out of the lounge!

Tomás is much better, his rash has pretty much gone, only if you squint your eyes a bit can you see it, and he's in cheeky form as ever. Everything is a button to him - the nose, toes, the eye...anything!

Mike is doing better. He's not taking as many pain killers as he was and is trying out different seat positions at work which seem to help. He's missing cycling at the moment though due to his bike breaking and being irrepairable :( He'll just have to buy a new one .... Otherwise there is not much else to report Hope you are all well. x

I am pleased to say we're back with full power ahead!And we are full steam ahead with painting Tomás's room. We have done the first three coats on the walls. We have done the ceiling and the door so we are left with the skirting boards, the window frame and the last coat of paint on the walls. We have decided to go green this time and not the traditional blue. Not because we don't like blue, in fact it's just the opposite as we have blue in the lounge and in the bathroom so we feel it's time to change. Having said that the pot of green paint is scarily bright looking so we'll see if it remains or not!

Other than that we are...okay. Mike is having trouble with his right leg. According to the doctor he has "irritated his sciatic area". What he said to it I don't know.... But seriously, he is in alot of pain and I'm sure would appreciate your prayers. Tomás sprung out in a rash which has steadily spread across his whole body and hasn't been sleeping very well the past couple of nights. The doctor thinks it's an allergic reaction to food but which food I don't know so I'm playing it safe at the moment. He got given some cream as well so we shall see how he goes.

I am well though on a brighter note! I'll get some photos taken of the room. We forgot to take some of it before we started so it will have to be half way through so until then!

Hi all,

Just a little quick update. Our computer's power supply died last week, hence the lack of blog updates from us - but do not fear mike is on the case and we should hopefully be back up this week. Power supply is being ordered today and hoping for it to be delivered "manana" - see you on the other side!

Other than that we are all well, started painting Tomás room at the weekend and we are now sleeping in the living room again :-( But that just gives more of an incentive to finish sooner.

Until next time.

Mike
