Finally!
So I finally get to make a post about the holiday - have been interupted just about everytime I've been on the pc recently, gah! Sticking it behind the cut cos there's a couple of pics and writing :)
So this is where we stayed:
and it was the most beautiful villa. Massive pool overlooking the valley, terraced gardens which I could just lay in all day. And at night, there'd be about a squillion stars and satellites. Twas pretty damn magical :) We left the villa to go shopping and all, this pic is from when we went to a cool little spa town in the mountains called Montchique:
So it was going pretty darn well. I was getting on well with Mum and Catherine (her workmate), Chris got a fishing license and spent hours angling down by the reservoir, plenty of swimming. And then Catherine's son came for a week starting from the Thursday. And we got on really well. Like, really well. And I'll admit that I was kinda smitten by him after about 2 days (what a cradlesnatcher - he's only 18 at the moment) We've got the same sense of humour, would end up saying the same things etc etc. And we'd get quite drunk togther and have a good laugh (he makes such a good mojito!), and do drinking games, and sit under the stars all night watching the shooting ones and just chatting.
And so one night, I'm floating on this inflatable boat on the pool and Nick's in the water, and we're admiring the stars, and then minute we're both in the water (and I'll leave you to guess the rest)
And now I'm back, and we had, I guess you could call it our first date on Thursday. Things are pretty damn fantastic. I just want to spend as much time as I can with him, I just feel so at ease and he makes me laugh so much /gushyness. It's not all plain-sailing though - apart fom the age difference (which isn't so bad, surely?), he's a bit of a wildchild. No need to go into details, but yeah, definitely a handful.
Stuff with Rich will have to be sorted as a result - we were definitely broken up, but he had said he wanted me back and that we'd meet in August to sort it out. I know people hate hearing it, but I think we would be better off just as friends.
but yeah, absolutely wicked holiday! Have got a day ticket to the V Festival this Saturday with ayto to see Radiohead, Keane, Kasabian, Beck & Bloc Party, then the week I've got a weekend ticket to Reading with Tom! Re-fucking-joice! I really can't stop dancing like a crazy person about it all :D
