  • Picking up Ciro

    We went to pick up Ciro on sunday lunchtime when we got there he gave us a very depressed meow and went to lay on her sofa. But after i gave him a cuddle he seemed happier and i watched him play with the little dog which was cute he was called Andy and they really seemed to like eachother. Ciro had fur missing on the back of one leg where he had been licking it out of stress which is very common in cats as they dont like change. We bought him home he was a bit quiet not is usual self and once we was home he had a long long sleep. He was happy to be home and exhausted. I think we all needed a good rest so we didnt do much that day. Alex phoned the vet to ask about the leg and he said it sounded like stress and for us to give him the drops we already had, so Alex's mind was at rest.

    Monday i really wanted to buy Ciro a new bed so he would have one in the hallway and one in the sittingroom. So after we went food shopping we headed for the pet shop. The have a bit that leads down into the shop and it had been raining so it was a bit slippery. Alex almost fell over and then i did fall. I landed hard on my knee if was so painful i couldnt stand for a long time. I had skinned the knee alot. When i finally could get up it was pulsing with pain and i had to limp into the shop with Alex helping me.

    We got Ciro his new bed and his food then headed home very slowly and carefully. Alex put loads of ice on my knee and it had started to swell alot and disinfected the knee. The ice really helped i had to lay there for ages though and not move. After i managed to limp into the sittingroom and keep my knee up i was careful not to over use it.

    Ciro loved his new house and layed in it watching us as its in the sittingroom while we were on the computers. So all the pain and ice was worth it if he was happy with his new bed. I even spoilt him with his hotdogs he liked and in the evening he just wanted to lay near me which was sweet. He really wants lots of cuddles at the moment as i think he felt a bit abandoned when we went away.

    Tuesday we went to what i thought was a spanish restarunt but it turned out to be a mix of Jewish and Arab food it was really nice a bit spicy but good. We were with Alex's friend Beth and her two friends they were really nice and i understood some of the conversation on the spoke to me in english when they could. They have invited us to go to dinner at the house which is a village between Rome and L'Aquila where the earthquake was. My knee was very sniff and got tired alot but apart from that it was fine and it feels almost normal today.

    I keep missing Jess on MSN as she seemed to be out alot to over the weekend but hoping to catch up with her today fingerscrossed i have missed chatting with her. I have to catch up on a few programmes i watch as well so that will keep me a bit busy.

    Alex bought me a CD course to learn Italian as well i have to start doing asap which looks really good.

    Theres been no more talk of children and i had a long talk about it with my mother she said i have to be happy and if i want kids then why should i not have them. And i know shes right so i have to wait and see what he says or comes up with. He keeps saying he loves me and doesnt want to lose me ever so he had to decide whats more important for him then and ho0w much he wants me to stay i guess.

  • Suffolk and Norfolk

    So on the friday night Alex decided he was coming to the UK after all after i said fine i will go alone. He was still a bit nervous about it all but was ok.

    That saturday we dropped Ciro off at the lady's house shes really nice and we sat with him for a while when we were there. He was really jumpy and scared at the new place he was going to be staying at while we were away but the lady had 2 cats and a little dog so he had some friends to play with. I felt bad about leaving him there and hoped he would be ok poor baby.

    Sunday morning early we got the taxi to the airport all packed and ready the flight was good a little bit of turbulance before Stansted but all in all very good. We got to my parents at 2pmish which was good everyone was happy to see us and we had a lovely dinner. It never feels weird or strange when i go there everything is just the same as normal pretty much. My brother had lost loads of weight even my sister had lost a little bit.

    That evening we went to Thorpness with my dad in Suffolk where he works, its such a lovely little place. We spent five days there it was sunny but a bit windy, we walked on the beach went to a few little villages. One of the days we walked 1 and half miles back from one of the villages Alex was grumpy by the end of it as he doesnt like lots of working but it was funny. We made some pasta for my dad which he really liked. We both really relaxed and we needed the break away for sure!

    We went back to Norfolk on the friday and booked into the B&B we were staying at a place we had been before and its really nice. Saturday my Grandad and Uncle came to visit us and we all went to Norwich to see my sister and niece it was a really nice day out. The second week was a bit hectic as we went to the zoo with my niece, shopping in Cambridge, Norwich and Thetford. I bought alot of clothes and was worried it wouldnt all fit back in my suit case!

    I was a bit bad i put a stone on from all the food there as i went a bit mental with the things i missed so im back on the salads now.The nurse only gave me 3 months of the pill as she wanted to keep an eye on my weight so i have to go back to the UK september now anyway.

    We both found the second week exhausting with all the activity and Alex said at the house a few times to play on the computer or watch sky tv. He was really getting into the history channels and was watching all the documentaries on the 1 and 2nd world war etc. He also bought a few DVD's on the subject, along with the Mr Bean collection.

    I bought 2 nice sticker books for the girls i babysit which they will love and Hello Kitty note pads for them as well. I got my friend Jess a few thing i wont say what they are ad i know you will probably read my blog :P

    I got 5 new fridge magnets to go with my collection now as i like to get one for where ever i visit! I also got a little bag with the British flag on which was lovely!

    I was a bit sad to leave them on saturday i do miss them alot sometimes but i was missing Ciro as well. The lady had texted us and told us he was king of her flat and liked to play with her dog. So we got back home to Rome in the flat at 11pm sunday night.
