Fox and Mate saved the day again!!!! They arrived from Cesena just in time to see Cristian before his knee operation and were there to lend their support to Bean and me, and tell lots of silly jokes.
In the space of a week, they:
- delivered a ton of material from Isa and JA - saving us from the hassle and stress of trying to figure out what Bean will need (one trip to Prenatal nearly saw the shop assistant cleaved in half - and no, not by me, but by Fox. I wonder where I get it from?!);
- cooked lots of meals - including a full on Christmas dinner (with a turkey-chicken-cat hybrid - ask Fox, he will tell you - and with a gorgeous Christmas tree too);
- cleaned the terrace and washed the table and chairs (we can now eat on the floor it is so sparkling);
- sorted out the bike shed, removing all spiders (there were millions);
- built a bed and bookshelf (king of diy);
- had the entire kitchen pot-drying cabinet fall on their head (ok, that was Fox, and no, he did not admit to yanking the doors open);
- taught me how to make pastry (ban the bomb gigantic mince pie and treacle tart - my next trip to perugia will include a treacle hunt);
- went to the Silvestrini CUP to pay for a free ecography;
- and much much more.
I tried to confiscate the car keys, but to no avail... one week down the line, they had disappeared and the fairytale dissolved into thin air.
A first? Christmas in November!
Any excuse to celebrate.
What was that joke about the I-Tit? or the Daddy Long Legs?
