Pissin' Down Rain!

We were stuck inside most of the day! I decided to step out on my own and see some of the local shops. I'm beginning to know my way around also, which is good! Again, I only took a few pictures....only because I didn't want to look like the tourist that I am!


I found this cute little shoe shop and bought some new boots!


They were on sale for 30 Euro, which is a really good deal! The kids are getting more used to my presence now, but I can still see some hesitancy with them concerning my authority. Kids are a lot of work! They are precious though, and I'm just focusing on having fun with them!!! I'm picking up little Alex on my own tomorrow from her playschool and am looking forward to the brisk walk up by the church! I'll make sure to take a picture and post it tomorrow!
Here are some more words that I have learned:
Nappie - Diaper
Creche(crash) - Daycare
Serviette - Napkin
...a sudden stretch - grew very quickly
We had some stuffed pork fillets tonight which were awesome! Filled with apple, bleu cheese and spring onions...of course some potatoes and cauliflower. I have also learned to eat properly with my utensils ( well, properly in this part of the world) You know...with the fork upside down and the knife in your dominate hand. It took a little while to get used to, but while in Rome!!!
More Later!! Learning new stuff everyday!!!
