Wedding Gifts

This morning My Beloved and I had a lovely long lie, the first real long lie together since we arrived. We breakfasted in the hotel and set out for our new hoosie, we parked the car and seeing as I was feeling a little shady, and I don't mean Slim Shady we walked to Bruno's for pizza, two pieces later and a Peroni for My Beloved and we felt strong enough to face the boxes we needed to unpack.

All our wedding gifts have arrived in one piece, all our electrical's are also in one piece, it appears so far that we have only one breakage, which I mentioned was a gift from another life. We tore open our belongings and arranged them in no particular order, most of the kitchen is organised although I'm sure it will be reorganised before we are settled in, it wasn't easy cleaning sides, and cupboards with no hot water, but we managed.

We unpacked the eldest Prince's bed and our Christmas tree and decorations, the decorations will be placed in the warehouse ready for next year. Before leaving we locked all our electrical's and personals in one of the bedrooms, only because the workmen have still to finish off, and we would prefer that temptation was removed. We left and headed to the hotel three bottles of water later and the cotton wool mouth disappeared.

I snoozed in the afternoon as My Beloved set about his expenses, having not kept on top of them since we arrived it kept him busy long enough for me to re-coup my strength.  We decided on Minna Tomei for our supper, we started with Dim sum for My Beloved and  Beef skewers for myself, once again Giselle was our waitress and she was great fun, after our Little Minna's as they were called Giselle recommended the Tom Yum soup, so we decided to try it, and it was lush, its a hot and sour soup with chicken and comes in a huge bowl for sharing.  My Beloved had decided he WAS having Beef Vindaloo today, so having eaten his first two courses he ordered, I chose a chicken noodle dish, and both arrived, the noodles in my dish were heavenly, just what I needed, My Beloved's meal arrived on its tray, there was a vegetable dish, a lentil dish and the rice and beef and it was very nice, it wasn't Vindaloo heat but trust me knowing My Beloved as I do this was probably a good thing.  Now we were both feeling stuffed at this point and refused the dessert menu and the hot drinks, but once again as is the Israeli nature Giselle had other ideas and presented us with a dessert of crepes, bananas and Jasmine tea. The tea was great after our big meal, but My Beloved was struggling with his over full belly, and was groaning loudly. I ignored him, if you will order fried Dim sum and spicy food don't come crying to me is what I was thinking, but my eyes were smiling.......


We walked very slowly back to the car, the trouble with doing all the walking I have been doing since arriving is that My Beloved has one pace, and it's not mine, I now have trouble walking with him because he is always ten paces behind me, now this is his rightly place, but it makes conversation difficult. The car was set for Yefe Nof and homeward bound we headed.  We finished our iphone scrabble game with My Beloved beating me this time, then drifted off into dream land, My Beloved on his back as his stomach was still to full for any other sleeping position.
