OK… not the whole weekend… We went to mum’s on Friday and had some yummy food!

And we did spend quite a lot of time inside the car in the hottest weekend of the year so far… and there aren’t any pics of us actually eating the BBQ at jon_stead and MeTheManandBaby’s place. but then again we were quite busy at that precise moment… great Burgers Jon!!! ;)

busy busy week this one as was are getting the magazine ready to hit the streets… so I will let the photos talk for themselves (all but the ones of Glowstars peeing on the lap post) and tell ya how much fun we had this weekend…

Ladies and gents, The pics:

It was great to be there… and to meet up (twitup???) with other fab bloggers like @Cheshire_Claire (http://www.cheshiremum.co.uk), and from there went on to meet @Cosmicgirlie (http://mochabeaniemummy.blogspot.com), @LvanO (http://www.diaryofafirstchild.com), @Bumbling Tweets (http://bumblingalong.wordpress.com) & @Porridgebrain (http://www.sleepisfortheweak.org.uk) at the BabyShow in Birmingham.

nunight. :)

Remember the little mouse that TB had found in the bottom of our garden whilst hapilly bouncing on his Trampoline??

Well… it seems to have gotten tired of living under the weather and decided to move indoors!

I am an insomniac… well mostly insomniac anyways… It seems I have gotten a lot better since I got married and had my first kiddo… The fact is that I spend most of my nights even working on websites, or retouching photos and editing videos ( and when I can’t be bothered, just playing xbox or watching TV).

Sure, if you know me you already knew that. But the point I want to make is that being a night creature means that one learns that strange noises happen, specially as the complete silence amplifies anything. And I am used to listening to steps or seeing vultures and feeling “presences” sometimes so it didn’t bother me much when I saw a tiny one close to the door a fiw nights ago… actually the reason it scared me is because I thought it was a huge spider.

Well it so happens that that huge spider was our old lil friend from the garden and today I had an encounter close and personal with it as it ventured to the middle of the living room while I watched “The Motorcycle Diaries” (great film BTW… specially when you understand spanish… the jokes sound better then than on the subtitles! LOL). It looked at me and I liiked at it and as I moved it decided to run for cover!

Of course when I realized what was it  in fact I mustered all my courage and went hunting for the minuscule rodent all around the livng room, the dinning room and kitchen. It was a battle of epic proportions (and I am sure the mouse world will treat it like that) as for 25 minutes we were locked in a battle for life or death. Me armed with a brrom… the mouse armed with it’s incredible speed.

And he won… Mouse I dub thee Speedy Gonzales!!!

I have to conceed… the little bugger was too fast for me! But whoever laughs later laughs the most (or understood the joke after everyone else… ) and revenge is a dish best served cold!

My first mission for tomorrow is to go and buy a (humane) mouse trap!

Speedy Gonzales, you might have gottern the best of me today… but tomorrow is another day… and the war is on until I finish you up!!! mua hua hua hua hua!! *evil laugh*.

more about the epic war of 2 worlds as it develops… (keep an eye on twitter for updates on the fly).

zya!!!

PS: I know I know… I’ve been neglecting the blog latelly… but… I’ve got my reasons and you will soon know them… :)

Kathia’s wedding was great and I think I’ve managed a few GREAT shots so I think it will make a lovely wedding video. Will post some snips later (I’ve got her consent to use it in my portfolio… yayyy!! :) )

zya later crocodiles!!! ;)

So…

My grandfather used to say that the best way to cure any cold, flu, etc was his old friend Johnny Waker…

He believed in that vehemently until the day of his death… Well… Until a bit before his death, as he decided to give up on his daily dosage before he got hospitalized… .

So…

I cought a cold… the sort of cold that rocks your soul and your being in from the core…  Strong enough to be unfairly acused to having a case of men-flu (seriously people… I am dying… I can see the light!!!)

I was so desperate I have fired up the following twit:

urbanvoxurbanvoxIs it to early for alcohol??? (Grampa used to tell me that whisky will cure any cold! I’m THAT desperate to get rid of it!)   from web

To my surprise I got a VERY big (and most helpful) response to it (those are just some of the replies I got…. hehehe):

zya!

Heya!

Maybe you  have noticed that I have been a bit absent lately… no posts, no videos, no pics… Loads of twits and a brand new gateway to all the bits @ urbanvox.net (a provisory one as the real new one will be all flashy when it is eventually done… :) ) yup… loads of new things going on but not a lot of my presence…

It comes with the new year I guess… all new! :)

All I can say right now is sorry for the absence!  It is all for a good cause!

So… the latest new thing for me are the new adventures of the DIY King (of fools): ME! :)

If you’ve been following my twits you might have noticed me rambling about builders giving me headaches and decoration and trips to IKEA, and spending money, and a new CWI HUB or even about a MetaNoia Cafe.

ah the trips to IKEA... FUN (not)

ah the trips to IKEA... FUN (not)

Well that’s what’s been keeping me busy and away(ish) from the internet . I never imagined that the details to open the venue of my dreams (just in a smaller scale) would be so  complicated. I can’t wait to have it up and running (but you will hear about it when and as it happens).

1 month to do a 2 week job! grrrr!!!

1 month to do a 2 week job! grrrr!!!

The builders have FINALLY moved out! That means that now I can FINALLY move in and get it ready to start receiving people! Ah… BTW… you are more than invited to come and visit us… we have wireless internet avaliable… and even a couple of computers mounted on the walls… ;)

Which brings me to the DIY K(OF) situation: I am picky… and me being picky I didn’t like much what the builders did with the counter… for a start it was on the wrong place (after I told them exactly where I wanted it and HOW!)!!

So I decided to get back home, pick up my tools and MOVE IT MYSELF!

me me meeeeee!!! :)

me me meeeeee!!! :)

Next step is painting bits that need painting… getting the Image ID elements in and get the furniture/ computers/ studio equipment/ coffee shop stuff and then yayyyy we’re well away! :)

Too bad I didn’t take any pictures of the “Before”… but the “After” looks A LOT better! hehehe :)

Even better!!! I didn’t hammer a toe, of shred myself on nails or caused (or participated) on any accident yet!

Me is happy!!! lol!

wow… 2:22am… time to go to bed uh!

I’ll keep u posted! :)

nite nite!!!!!

zya!

(PS: Monday was OK all things considered! :) )
