Also, I'm in Malta (sorry for the silence since leaving the UK) and have been for a week and a half now. In that time Mark and I have celebrated our anniversary and Ash has come over to spend a week here. He's leaving tomorrow. Part of me is happy about that and part of me is sad. On the one hand it will mean that Mark and I can spend some time relaxing and not running around everywhere, we can go on a well overdue shopping trip that wouldn't have been able to happen with Ash here. But the time with Ash has been a lot of fun, we've been to loads of places, enjoyed nights out and cooking for ourselves. I guess it's also a great benefit to working out how it will be when Mark and Ash move in together in a month and a half's time.
Our anniversary was one of fairly normal proportions. We spent time relaxing, which was something neither of us had been able to do since I arrived. We went out to a couple of places, shopping a little bit, then out for dinner that night. And what a dinner it was! We went to a Thai restaurant called "The Blue Elephant". This has special significance as the first of the collectible glass animals (that Mark got me) from Mdina glass was a blue elephant. The place was like walking into a different world where the staff make you feel like a queen and the food is divine. I guess that's no surprise, though, when the place has been given 5 stars for years and the "most romantic restaurant in Malta" award on top of that.
At the end they even gave me an orchid sprig.
I bought a small blue elephant from their gift-shop.
