The return, new bathroom and future plans

We got back from Malta safely and I had a brilliant time. Thanks to the awesome weather over there Ritchie and I managed to catch some serious rays as well as getting on plenty of tours to be able to see the island. We went to a 'Splash and Fun' park where they had sea lion and parrot shows and, most of all, dolphins! I was so happy. Our funds didn't allow for us to go swim with them and I was gutted for a short while but the shows were amazing and I really enjoyed myself. You may gasp, but I have never actually been to any kind of animal show, ever.

We got to visit the caves on the southern coast, namely the Blue Grotto. It was interesting, to say the least. I'm not good with boats and I get very nervous, even though I'm a strong swimmer (Gold badge, Cannock baths, twelve years ago). This guy took us with nine other people, on thise diddy speedboat, around the cavey coast of Malta. It was truly beautiful, Ritch has pictures on his Flickr, the water being so clear and blue I was quite amazed at how nature really can take one's breath away sometimes.
In the same day we got to visit the old capital city of Malta, Mdina. It was great. Also known as 'The Silent City', it is prohibited to take your car into the city unless you are a resident (obviously, emergency vehicles and wedding/funeral cars are allowed too). Mdina is a perfect example of a quaint, untouched place which bestows so much history. The Roman Governor built his palace there and the Apostle Saint Paul is said to have lived there when he was shipwrecked on the island. Anyway, I think it's amazing but I'll quit it with the history lesson now. You can find all that useless rubbish on Wikipedia.

The hotel was OK. Definitely NOT four-star quality by British estimations, but it was alright. The food got better as the week progressed and money ran out, but I thoroughly enjoyed our time away.
Malta was our first sunny holiday away, it's like we've only been together just months or something, having not ever been abroad alone with the boy.
The past four years has flown-by and I can't believe I even thought about terminating our relationship just the other day.

I came home to see that my bathroom was demolished, but during the past week men have been around to put the new one together whilst Mom and I painted the ceiling the other day. It'd dead good. The gigantic mirror covers a whole wall and the tiles are all stone white with those gorgeous palatial trims and all that jazz. I'd take photographs but I'd think that was sad so you're just going to have to take my words for it.


I'm back to university next month. Can't say I'm greatly looking forward to it but I'm sure it'll be alright. Living in halls again will hopefully give me the incentive to do the work, like last year and, with Ritch at Plymouth there will be literally no distractions. Unless I go all mopey and depressed like I used to when he wasn't around, great.

September will be an interesting challenge for the both of us. I don't look forward to us being apart but oh well, some things you just gotta do and persevere with the consequences.
At least I don't have to have anything much to do with his family for the next eight months-or-so. I digress.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I crashed my car about a month ago! I was secretly hoping for it to be a complete write-off, considering the amount of work that's STILL being done on it, but no, It's still going and my Chrysler is still a whopping eighteen months-or-so away. Fucking Japanese cars can take anything.
I love my Corolla, but I think it's time it just gave-in to the sickness and passed away. It surely can't last me much longer?

I think I've rambled enough and said all that I wanted to say for the past month. I know I don't update regularly, but, when you think about it, I'm not really a proper blogger anyway. I have a day job, for a start!

In the mean time, Transformers is awesome and The Simpsons movie was Blazé, Prison Break is FUCKING AMAZING and is Big Brother even still on?

Is it wrong to be in love with Rob Knepper?
