New Year

Image
2013 was really eventful for us and a very busy year... we moved 2 times and not just around one city but we moved from Cardiff to Bath and then from Bath to Birmingham. And at the moment we are on the look out for a new place, not in another city thanks god! We had a lovely family Christmas, Steve cooked I provided the entertainment by falling asleep, chasing the pets around and doing dishes.  We actually had a Christmas part II just this week when we went to see the family in Wales. Great time was had:) lots of food and laughs... actually I think I worked my abs coz I was laughing that much!! Wish all the holidays were like this. I have only few goals for this year... Stay healthy, run another half marathon and just be happy. I know that sounds a bit hippy-ish but hey I can do amazing things when I put my head to it! think this picture is an excellent example of "when I put my head to it". This handsome beast now lives with Owen. I wish ...

making most of it

I do not work as much as I should only about 15-19 hours a week so it leaves me with a lot of time to my self. So what do it do with all this free time... I have learnt how to plant stuff and I spend a lot of time with pets. Daisy really loves it in the big house to run around but hates the slippery floors. It is very amusing to watch her slide across it. She sure loves the garden. She actually dug some holes there and did a roll once, she never rolled around before, don't think bunnies are designed that way. But mainly I go to the gym and cinema... Gym is a must with race being very tough one and very very soon this September I need to push myself a bit more. I am mainly doing classes actually, what is a new thing to me but it seems to be working really well for me! Cinema... Oh cinema!! I just came back actually from seeing The East and I saw Man Of Steel. Two very different films but equally amazing.  Man of Steel is a massive budget blockbuster .... with no...

we are settling in

We moved to Birmingham.. its was a long day. Yeah at some point I was entertaining the pets:)   Very special thank you to Viera, who was amazing and come to give us a hand in moving.  As us girls went for a drinkie to the pub my amazing husband was left home to deal with all that madness of furniture, boxes and bags... We only moved on Thusrday but already almost finished bedroom, mancave, living room and kitchen. Although we had to rebuilt some things twice and Stephen shouted at me... He was so annoying that he made me laughed uncontrollebly. I was like in halves on the floor giggling away. Oh btw how do you like this wall paper, it actually glitters too and has soft bits. Seem to be expensive but still looks a bit like brothel wallpaper. It grows on me ... slowly! Today we went for a wonder around... sat in the sun for a bit in Warley Wood And then we played with our garden. I actually learn to plant stuff. Steph...

My babies...

One day hubby went to the market and came back with three little brown rats. We can never named them, since they actually looked exactly the same, although they really had different characters. Sadly two of them died recently and now there is only one little rattie left... She looks a bit sad. So we are trying to keep her busy as we can...  Today she was building the nest. And then we have lovely Daisy-poop.... or Daisy-cal or "Stupid rabbit won't let me shower her with love"-says Stephen when she runs away from him.  Daisy was really not impressed when I had to put little rat into her cage... The do have a strange relationship.  Daisy had her hair pulled by the rat then she ran away, but yet curiosity... they can sit together on the sofa with me between them. Oh silly things.  One thing... I do not think I would want to have more rats. It was too upsetting finding one of them dead in the morning. Too sad to lose ones pets...

Longest week ever...

And not the greatest week either... I was so busy with everything... Went to London in the beginning to the week to drop off the documents at the Embassy for a new passport. Stress.... But to be honest the lady I dealt with was lovely, well my name will be misspelled in the new passport (bloody auto translation) I went for sushi and met Natasha:) This was very nice! Then it was work work work!!!! We have no staff... or we do but they do not show for the shifts... well I do not really care I just want to have bodies to work.... I miss my Cardiff ladies... To top everything we had to go to Emergency to have a new x-ray for Hubby's arm...It hasn't actually heal properly  but we have been told to chill for a week and not to lift anything really. Ice and keep it raised to take the swelling off... And the day later one of out little rats passed away.... I do not think I would want more rats... ...
