I've spent nearly the whole weekend with them! We were supoposed to be meeting at the mandir on sunday anyway as its the third anniversary of his grandad passing away today. That was scary, as I'd never been to that one. I don't think they ever see a white face there normally, plus it's one that is special to their family, and they know the priest really well, etc.
Anyway, on the saturday they invited them selves over and didn't leave until 10pm, so we ended up seeing them both days. I am seriously knackered. Ravi is very clingy and unsure of strangers so I've spent two days with a dt on my hip. I really don't know how to get him out of it.
Akshay is more outgoing, he just charges around demolishing stuff. They are both walking now. We ended up in bed at 9pm as we got home, gobbled kebabs and both fell asleep on the sofa. On the plus side, I'm gettign to know them and I've not cooked hardly at all this week! We keep bringing bucket loads of food back from theirs and between that and takeaways I've only cooked twice all week. 
Next weekend dp has four days off so I'm hoping we will actually get some time for US! We should be going to meet his mum next weekend too. I feel a bit overwhelmed, meeting all this strange ppl. I think it is all going ok, but they are very wary, because there have been mixed relationships before that haven't worked out, so it seems like we will always be having to prove ourselves. The language thing is increasingly awkward too, they all think it is easy and expect me to understand it! 
ds1 and dd seem to be enjoying all the fun of it, they had water fights yesterday. I felt rather 
though when dd asked when they can see my parents. Things are so strained there now, and they don't want to see us for fear that there might still be bedbugs around. 
They are being rather selfish, cos they are worried that they might get them (impossible) so don't even want me going up to them.
I think I've written another essay haven't I?? Well, this is much more fun than TMAs Have a good week, fg, doin't forget about us. Glad to hear you are having fun with the dts, hm. I didn't know what a mezzaluna was neither, though I do have one. It is ok, but I find all the herbs get stuck up it so I prefer the bigknifesorefinger. I have global knives, very posh, made by japanese craftsman with a samurai sword history. Bloody lethal though - I chopped a chunk out of my thumb last time I sharpened them, which bled for hours.
