Hey! Thanks for all your comments. Thought I’d kickstart blogging again with a few short ones.

Rachel has been to Santiago and has left me again… to Paranal. This time for 9 days. I’ve started an intensive spanish course which has been really challenging so far- the homework takes an hour and the course starts at 8.30am every weekday morning. Those who know me well will know that getting up is a problem for me!

Anyway, things falling together here in Santiago. Our dining table and chairs arrived on monday! Yeh! We enjoyed eating indoors for the first time in 2 months (although there wasn’t really a need… it still hasn’t rained here since we arrived). We’ve had fun planting up a piece of wood we carried back from the South of Chile (with plants.. not just sticking in the ground!). And i’ve finished painting the office, the lounge and the hall.

We’re looking forward to our next guests in April- Rachel’s sister and partner, Chris. Don’t know how knackered/broke/fed-up speaking spanish they will be on arrival but really looking forward to it!

Anyway, our broadband phone mysteriously died the other day… as did our fridge (again). So after much huffing and puffing and general stress yesterday… or rather, a complete defrost and a re-installation of phone software, its all working again today!

Better go do homework now. Its like being back at school…. only in another language!
