2014 Is here!

Hello, and i shall start off by wishing you all a happy new year.

I find wishing people Happy new year is a much nicer and more inclusive than wishing a merry christmas, im not sure why i feel that way, but to me happy new year you can say to anyone without too much fear of offending them, whereas with christmas i feel like i am making the assumption they are a bigoted christian. But thats besides the point.

2014 For me, started off just like most other people, i went out to the pub to see Steph and her band play, got a bit drunk and went home to bed after dancing all night long, what more could you want? Considering we are only the second day in, its been surprisingly eventful. I have the most horrendous cold, i finally took the plunge and splashed out on some exciting new "toys" i have had my eye on for a while. Now all i need is someone to use them on.

The worst thing of all through, has been the death of Havana. She is my aunt Shak's rabbit, and we agreed to look after her while Shak is away for christmas. Weve looked after her before, she is a gorgeous little rabbit, quite timid but i think she had warmed to us. I think this is probably the fifth or six time we have had her. My mum seemed to think Havana had had a fit the night before christmas. And last night she was sat in the very corner of her cage, shaking like crazy. My brother stayed up quite late with her, but when i came down in the morning she was on her side, not moving. I had grown quite fond of her. I know it wasnt our fault, and she was a very old rabbit, but i feel like i could have done something. I am really dreading telling Shak when she comes back off holiday in a couple of days, she is going to be heart broken. 

Its a lovely photo of us, and she seemed quite happy to have her photo taken, i think i took this one on boxing day.

I hope that this is not a sign of things to come for this year :(

Been so long...

Hello. I do apologize for there being such a delay in this post. Something has really stopped me from blogging the past two months, and it's almost felt like my fingertips have had no life in them. But the fact that I am typing this now may mean we are back on track. Lets see what I have to tell you. First off, I guess the most important news is that I now have two jobs. As well as working at the other place, I've also taken up a second job at another well known high street chain working Saturday and Sunday night's for some more cash before I go travelling across Europe. It's not too bad on the weekends I don't work at the usual place, but when I do work there, I end up going for no sleep or even a proper break for nearly 36 hours. It's bloody hard going, but at the end of the day, I need to do this if I want to get anywhere. As they say, no pain no gain. It was Nan's birthday saturday, so we all went up to her's for fish and chips and a bit of cake....

Siena

Now we all know towns and cities that have a major rivalry. Back home in England, it's between the city I live in, Southampton, and a city further along the coast called Portsmouth. It's mainly along football lines, but it's a rivalry all the same. However, no rivalry will ever come as close to being as fierce as between Siena and Florence. For years the two cities have tried to out do each other right from the beginning of time it seems! I can't tell you if there is a winner or not, but instead  have a look at some pictures of the fabulous Sienese cathedral. Even if you just do a day trip like I did, I promise you Siena won't dissapoint. Maybe then you can decide which of the two cities is the best?

San Marino

Next I visited everyone's favourite micro state, (no not Andorra!) San Marino! It was a bit of a challenge to get to, I caught the train from Ravenna to Rimini (literally managing to get on the train as it was about to pull away after a small fiasco at the ticket machine) then a coach from Rimini to Citta Di San Marino. First of all, no I didn't meet Valentina Monetta while I was there, but my gosh wow the views are fantastic! The whole city is perched high on the hills, and the ground is just a vertical drop next to you And perched atop these dramatic cliffs are the 3 towers of San Marino. Only one was open while I was there, and not only did it give me amazing views from the top, but It also had quite an interesting medieval weaponry exhibition, (yes that is a child's toy cannon, and people wonder why so many children died from accidents when they were allowed to play with cannons and muskets!) San Marino is a bit like the land that time forgot. Everywhere ...
