Bene, la casa c'è, direi che finalmente dopo tante peripezie...posso ritenermi soddisfatta....certo le serate fredde e ventose dell'inverno inglese si fanno sentire e, anche se i buchi sono stati tappati, alcuni spifferi ci sono ancora....la casa è pulita, ma...in cucina...non posso usare il forno...ci abbiamo provato tutti a pulirlo, anche la mia mamma che è venuta a trovarmi insieme a mia sorella....ma anche lei ha gettato la spugna...troppo sporco...difficilissimo da scrostare....meglio non utilizzarlo...
La luce del mio pianerottolo si è già fulminata due volte, ma è stata prontamente sostituita dal landlord...anche se le scale continuano ad essere troppo buie....
La doccia, per i primi tempi, pur essendo nuova, perdeva acqua dalla base ed è stata siliconata interamente....ho avuto problemi con l'acqua calda e ho dovuto lavare i capelli con l'acqua bollita sul fuoco....
A parte questi dettagli...la vita in UK procede....
Mi sono iscritta in palestra con Neraida e cerco di andarci almeno due volte alla settimana....principalmente andiamo per correre, ma abbiamo provato anche yoga una volta...nulla a che vedere con le lezioni in Italia, ma almeno ci abbiamo provato....considerando che non capivamo tutte le indicazioni fornite dalla maestra...più che rilassarci abbiamo passato tutta la lezione in tensione, guardando gli altri per capire che movimenti fare....
La mia vita sociale è ridotta all'osso...ma con i colleghi, quelli che come me vivono a Leamington, cerchiamo almeno una volta alla settimana o ogni due settimane di organizzare qualcosa tra noi: una cena, un birra al pub, un caffè...insomma qualcosa che ci possa far staccare e che ci permetta di fare un pò di vita sociale oltre al lavoro...
Ho cucinato per loro un paio di volte, piatti semplici del mio repertorio e, devo dire, che tutto quello che ho cucinato ha riscosso un grande successo, nulla di speciale direi: come primo piatto pasta zucchine e gamberetti, mentre come secondo piatto tonno con pomodorini e capperi per la prima cena che abbiamo fatto nel mio flat, mentre per la seconda cena a casa dei miei colleghi: risotto con i funghi e salmone al cartoccio...hanno comprato tutti gli ingredienti seguendo le mie indicazioni e mi hanno lasciato cucinare nella loro cucina!!!
Sto provando tutti i cibi nuovi che trovo qui nei supermercati...anche le cose "italiane" e sono diventata completamente dipendente dai dolci inglesi....sono la mia droga, il mio comfort food e se in Italia, durante l'ultimo anno, avevo perso quasi 5Kg...qui penso di aver recuperato tutto....
Insomma...ce la sto mettendo tutta....in tutti i sensi!!!!!
MAKING THE STATUS POINT
Well, the house is, I would say that finally after many ups and downs ... I can be satisfied .... some evenings cold and windy English winter are felt and, though the holes were plugged, some drafts we still .... the house is clean, but ... in the kitchen ... I can not use the oven ... we tried to clean it all, even my mother who came to visit with my sister .. .. but she also threw in the towel ... too dirty ... very difficult to peel .... better not to use it ...
The light of my landing has already burned twice, but was quickly replaced by the landlord ... even though the scales are still too dark ....
The shower for the first time, although new, was leaking water from the bottom and was fully backing .... I had problems with the hot water and I had to wash the hair with water boiled on the fire ....
Apart from these details ... the life in the UK goes ....
I joined the gym with Neraida and try to go at least twice a week .... mainly going to run, but we also tried yoga once ... nothing to do with the lessons in Italy, but at least we tried....
We did not understand all the information provided by the teacher ... rather than relax, we spent the whole lesson in tension, looking to others to understand that movements do ....
My social life is reduced to the bone ... but with colleagues, those like me who live in Leamington, let us at least once a week or every two weeks to organize something between us: a dinner, a beer at the pub, a coffee ... I mean something that can be detached and that allows us to do a bit of social life besides work ...
I cooked for them a couple of times, simple dishes in my repertoire, and I must say that everything I have cooked has been a great success, nothing special I would say, as a first course pasta zucchini and shrimp, and as a main dish with tuna tomatoes and capers for the first dinner we had in my flat, while the second dinner at the home of my colleagues: risotto with mushrooms and salmon in foil ... bought all the ingredients by following my instructions and let me cook in their kitchen!
I'm trying all the new foods that I find here in the supermarket ... even things "Italian" and became completely dependent on English sweets are my drug, my comfort food, and if in Italy during the last year, I had lost almost 5kg here ... I think I've recovered all ....
Well ... I am putting all myself .... in every sense!!
