Haha...sorry! All this prep for moving to Madrid is causing me to be a little slow on the uptake

Well if EITHER of you have any questions, I can do my best to help :p

No worries MSE. You'll have a great time in Madrid, I have. Straight back at you, if you have any worries pre or post your arrivals, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

I arrived as a total non-spanish talker and thecity can be a bit over whelming at times so don't be afraid to ask. There is no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer.

BTW You will have to get used to one or two things. Firstly timekeepeing. Don't be insulted if people turn up 15 minutes late, Spanish time is fluid, hence Dali.

Secondly, the city isn't finished yet. No matter where you look there will be something being built or renovated.

Thirdly, Spanish people will be walking around complaining about the cold when you are in jeans and T-shirt. It is cold today but when I arrived it was 23ºC and everywhere I looked I saw gloves, scarves and thick winter coats.

Finally, the majority of the people are friendly and like to try to be helpful. There are problems here but nowhere near as bad as in other parts of Europe.

Be safe, have a good time and be ready for the experience of a new and different culture.

PIM's keyboard is a little tongued tied so I get to answer...even though she'll kill me tomorrow.

But all said and done she couldn't resist the charms of this Finnish charmer. Tall, handsome and vibrant. What more can I say?

Anyway, seriously. We are going to Brussels shortly. Not permanently but for a while. After that, who knows? Depends on where the work is. We will be returning regularly, she for family, me because I love it in Spain. If it wasn't for tax reasons I would call Spain my home, but at the moment it suits me to say this about the UK.

"Wait. WHAT?! Did I read that right????!?!? pim is MOVING TO BELGIUM?!?!?!?! MOVING? As in goingn to live there permanently?? How did that happen? We're losing pim?"

No, you're not losing anything....it's just that "Mr. Keeperman" is "winning" me! :o ...and all thanks to this wonderful board, so there!

See I told you. Tall, handsome and vibrant.

LOL.

Who could resist this aging, beer-bellied, super-sloth.
