At the bus stop

Here's my life lately:
1.wake up around 4/4.30;
2.ride my bike to the airport,work, ride back home-light and quick lunch;
3.walk to the bus stop (10/15mins);
4.bus to destination-walk from the bus stop to the twins' house (10/15mins);
5.babysit:usually 2 hours walk around the city with the twins;
6.walk back to the bus stop;
7.bus-walk from the bus stop back home;
8.cook a quick dinner;
9.bed.
You can change the schedule once a week when from point 2 you can add:
3a. ride on the bike to the swimming pool (10mins ride);
4a. secretary work;
5a. ride back home;
start again with point 8.

The good thing is that I can exercise a little with those brisk walks and rides and have not a lot of time for big dinner.
The bad thing is that I am dead tired. The house is a mess and dirt, I have no time to wash clothes and iron them and of course this is also the time of the year in which Andrea gets crazy at work because really busy.
No time to shop for grocery (I don't feel comfortable to go shopping with the twins, I'm not prepared psycologically to respond to their 'scream' in public!).

At least I bring my camera with me everyday and I loaded my I-Pod with tons of podcasts that help me with the english. That means I can somehow improve my english (hopefully) by walking.
Not a lot more to tell since my brain gets blank as soon as it has a minute of rest.
More soon.... hopefully!

Would you like a tea?

Last Sunday I had a brunch at Zita's. Zita is a special character who comes and go in my life. She lives in an indefinite space and time and has a dimension of life I've never really got in touch with. But I find her interesting because of this. My mom and my granma as well as a possible daughter of mine would find all interesting topics to discuss with her and exchange opinions. I don't know if I passed it right. But she's an inspiring person.
Anyhow! we finally find the way to get together with Irene and her 5 months old twins Pietro and Sveva and share some time together. Each of us brought something and I cooked blueberry muffin and brought some great apples and walnuts I got from a friend's garden.
We enjoyed our brunch and the company of the babies, talking and chatting about our different path of life.
I enjoyed the Sunday Sun.
