We went to Tuscany for 6 days and stayed with friends, it was so lovely there hot and in the countryside it was very relaxing. We kept having naps after lunch everyday as it was to hot to do anything outside! We visited a few places again we did last year and went to the Necropolis which is rock tombs and old temples made out of rock. There was a pathway cut into the side of the hill which was amazing apparently its natural and was done by the sea millions of years ago!

Alex really wants to move there and we looked at a few houses in the village of satunia where we were staying but its quite expensive there as they have the natural spring down the road. We found a villa in a village 20mins away by car and that would give us much more space for our money rather than a tiny apartment in the village we stayed in for the same money. So we are thinking about moving there, if it was for good rather than a holiday home we would need to find work in the area first before moving which could be a good idea. But at the moment its still an idea. He's started looking in to selling the house in the mountains more but hes not sure he will get alot for it.

We are still waiting for the results of Alex's tests which we thought we would get today but apparently it takes 15 days not a week so its next monday they arrive. So we are thinking of going back to Tuscany for a week then coming back to Roma.

I took loads of pics of the local cats in tuscany, wild cats, house cats, the friend of Alex has 14 wild cats living at his house outside the village. He feeds them but there wild and you cant touch them. He showed me the kittens they had had which you could pick up and he wanted to give us the tiny black kitten which was so cute and lovely but Alex said no. I was a bit pissed off as i think Ciro could benifit from having a companion. And i even put this case to Alex and he said it made sense but he didnt want another cat and that i had my cat and that was the end of it. He said when Ciro dies we can have one of his friends wild kittens....

I got a bit upset while we were there as i could only understand a bit of what was going on but still felt left out as i couldnt join in on alot of the conversation. Also Alex was making all the descions on what we do etc and i felt more like he was being my father than my boyfriend.

One evening when we went for a drink i went back to the house early as i had had enough of it all and got a bit upset. When Alex got back he said his friend had noticed things and had told him if he loved me now was the time to help me with my italian and things as he could tell i was unhappy and might leave him. I wasnt suprised his friend had noticed this and spoken out even after more than several beers.

So Alex said he had been bad and would help me with my italian at last and that we would play less on the computer and start doing things as a couple! Like watching movies, going for more walks, going out, cooking togeather. He said he didnt want me to feel useless or unhappy here and we should make the effort if we loved eachother and that he loved me and didnt want to lose me.

So we shall see what happens as i have heard some of these things before then nothing has been done, So we shall see.
