Housewarming!

Tonight the St Pancras flat was officially warmed! Sustained by some Italiano food platters from Carluccio's downstairs, and lubricated by plenty of prosecco, the Good Ship St Pancras was launched by a crowd of about ten good friends. Thanks to the attendees - your good wishes for the flat will forever permeate its beams and encourage its ambience!

Good friends 'warm the house'

Carluccio's did well!

Tomorrow morning at sparrow's twit Evan and I are off on an adventure to sunny Spain - first Barcelona to run to earth the Barcelona Pavilion, in Evan's words "perhaps the most important modern building ever". Possibly Gaudi will get a look-in. And then to Bilbao, home of Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum, and, not incidentally, some Basque friends.

Over the last of the prosecco I made the decision to leave the laptop at home for this trip, so blog posts will be suspended until early next week. However, you can expect some interesting photos when we return, I am sure.

I finally closed a deal to purchase a nice home last week!! yes yes, there is a big wall in the living room where I can put several book selves, and the kitchen is small, but fine enough for cooking.
