More new furniture!!

Has been a while since we last got the screwdriver out to put up some furniture, but we still got it. Only took me most of Friday and Rosie helped finishing it off after work. 10am the phone rings: UPS: "Are you at home? We'd like to deliver some furniture." Well at least I think that's what the lady told me in SPANISH. 10 minutes later I had all these boxes delivered.



Out came the my inner Bob the Builder. Assembling the parts of the desk was easy with the supplied tools. But it was just a little too heavy for one person to slide the 3 parts together. Bob was stuck.
"Move on the the Media Console, Bob." Tough luck for him this time...there were no tools supplied. Abusing his trusty pair of scissors he managed to botch together the first half (bigger of the 2 shelves) before Rosie came home and they could go to buy tools.

Result:

Calling Dr. Rosie....

... but Dr. Rosie is sleeping ;-)
The usual sight in the afternoon if Rosie is home. While I am working she falls asleep in front of the tv. Don't blame her, she's been up since 4.30am

We made it to the beach!

After about 4 weeks of Michael in the US we finally made it to the beach. And it wasn't for the lack of sunny days, just pure lack of time!

Points of view

If you wondered what we can see when we step out on our balcony with our coffee in the morning. And, yes, that is a giant American flag on top of the building in picture 4

We are getting somewhere

Yes, we have a first result and bought some furniture yesterday. So far we have a small dark leather sectional, a coffee table, a dining table (seats 6) and 4 chairs. Later we'll try to find a nice tv and hope to get a matching media console. Also on our list is a daybed for the guest room/office and a desk for us to work on.

Anyway, this has to wait, as I am off to a Labor Day BBQ now. So hungry!!
