doubting

today we have a public holiday at the Basc Country so I decided to attack this DIY project that I have in mind for long time. The previous owners of our house left this beautiful (but too much serious for our house ) piece of furniture. I wanted to paint the exterior in  a turquoise blue and the interior in the blue that you see at right on top... but I have started to sand it and I like the wood color that appears...

aprovechando que tenemos un dia de fiesta en Euskadi he decidido pintar este mueble que nos dejaron los antiguos propietarios de la casa. Me gusta pero es demasiado oscuro y serio para nuestro estudio. La idea era pintar el exterior en el tono turquesa de la izquierda y el interior de la vitrina y de los cajones en el azul de la derecha. pero lo he empezado a lijar y me gusta el tono rubio de la madera que aparece debajo... 

yesterday we went to see Ana of Bizilore. She gave us a lot of information about plants for cutting. At auntie´s house we are preparing a little cutting garden.

ayer fuimos a visitar a Ana de Bizilore. Nos dió un montón de información sobre plantas tradicionales que pueden utilizarse como flores de corte.  Estamos preparando un pequeño jardín para abastecer parcialmente mi futura tienda.

we had celebrated today our nephew birthday, two years! Zorionak Enekotxu!

Having forgotten to buy any present for him I bought some coloured doughnuts. He is a real greedy, and of course he has appreciated our little gift!

Haizea must practice with the violin. This afternoon we had gone to aunties house. We are preparing holes for plant some rosebushes. I try to get Haize interested on gardening, but she doesn´t care very much...

some photos of last easter holidays at Barcelona

what I liked the most of today: this morning at the swimming pool we were only  three people swimming , lunch at Unai´s house , I planted apart a little tradescantia who arrived  by chance in the same pot as a senecio herreanus, and the best thing is that tomorrow in Spain we have a public holiday! So tomorrow morning zzz
