My aunt and uncle went out shopping this morning to try and track down some fresh rabbit, they knew a Portuguese shop in town sold some but they didn't know if they had any and if not where else they could get some from. I did say that it wasn't that important, that I just fancied it and if they couldn't find any not to worry I wouldn't mind. Like most Italians they don't understand I don't mind, they don't even understand no, if you don't want something and keep saying no they still try and force it in you. After maybe a couple of hours shopping they returned with a whole fresh rabbit, so rabbit would be on the menu after all. At lunch they filled me in on how difficult it was to track the rabbit down, none of the local shops had any and they had to go right into Elizabeth to find some. They had some shark so they was no need in trying to find any of that, in fact when I woke up to have some breakfast I saw they shark defrosting on the sinks draining board. After I ate, I went over to my cousins place again to chill out, play some FIFA and their dogs. I haven't mentioned the dogs yet but I definitely have to. They have two dogs, a little Chihuahua and Dachshund cross and a beagle. The little Chihuahua thing is called Cydni and looks pretty healthy and normal but the beagle on the other hand is called Shyla and is the fattest little dog I have ever laid eyes on. Its so cute though, it just waddles around, can barely go up and down stairs and gets really tired just by walking from one room to another. Its just the softest and cutest dog I have ever seen, she has such loving eyes that stare at you secretly asking for more food even though she definitely doesn't need any more. They are both bitches so often get very confrontational, more so than I have noticed with two male dogs. Cydni is a very jealous dog, its obvious that Shyla being the cutest getting more attention so Cydni decides she will fight every time somebody stroke or plays with Shyla. It was quickly approaching dinner time so my and Alex went back to my aunts house and Tommy and his girlfriend joined us in a bit. They hadn't asked in advance to go over, just a spur of the moment thing, they wanted to try some shark and some rabbit so decided they would go over. When they arrived you could tell my uncle wasn't too happy about it, he moaned in the way that he does and put his head down and ate, then went off to watch the baseball in his little basement lounge set up. He has a TV a fridge and some whisky, rum and brandy down there. There are also some bags of crisps for when he might get a little hungry. The rabbit was unbelievably tasty, not dry at all and perfectly tender. The shark was equally as good, its a shame that there wasn't enough of it all. My aunt hadn't expected all these people round so only bought enough for her, my uncle and myself. After the dinner we hanged around for a bit digesting the food, then we all went off back to my cousins place to play some more FIFA, for me to kick his arse at FIFA more like.
