Ten for the weekend: Italian edition

I feel I have been a little absent this week, and I entirely promise this will be the last of the Italy photos I spam this space with!  See, this week has been pretty busy and far less picturesque, so the ten (ahem-twelve) for the weekend this weekend are more moments from visiting my Nonna.  
This week has been James' first working week as a doctor and it has been a long one.  He leaves before 7am and is lucky to be back before 10pm - pretty long hours for a supposedly 9-5 job!  Whilst he has been gone I have been on a mission house hunting.  Finding two bedroom rental properties, within our budget, in Bristol turned out to be a Herculean task - but I managed it.  I have officially found us a house to live in from September 12th!  It was a little worrying handing over agency fees and the like for a house James hadn't even seen (talk about responsibility) but I wrangled us a second visit yesterday and, thank gosh, he loved it!

So I will have two months to move, settle and nest before baby boy arrives.  I think that sounds doable, right?  Now, back to enjoying our pyjama Sunday.
