First of all I want to apologise for not having posted anything in a while. I´m accommodating my best friend who lives in Dusseldorf -Germany while he is on holidays here in Lima, and that has kept me quite busy and apart from blogging.

3 To be head over heels
4 To tie the knot 
5 To be the apple of someone´s eye
