but then it’s not secured…it’s like they’re asking me to just take it….

Thursday night in Italy. Glad to be going home tomorrow. Flying back here in a week for a bit of a holiday…

It’s warm here.
I’m still waiting for the Italian authorities to accept me…wha!!!!!

I learned the Italian word for Lizard today….I’ve forgotten it.

I used eminently in a sentence the other day.

Those might have been the two highlights of my week…I love this country!!! I’m ready to move here as soon as they let me (what with their low birthrate I thought they’d be happy to have a ”skilled worker”)…they’re probably reading this…I LOVE YOUR COUNTRY!!!

I just remembered the third highlight…I attempted to cook the other night (normally I eat out on a business trip cuz who wants to cook). I bought taco fixins and after making the kitchen smell like gas I figured out that I would be using a gas stove for probably the first time in my life…anyway there was this lovely piece of glass that was covering the stove and it sort of moved up and down…well I was confused and called Julia but her phone was busy…I wasn’t quite sure if the glass should be on the stove or not (Mark Fordice you should have warned me about this 🙂 )…anyways lit the flame (after waiting a minute to let the kitchen air out) left the glass down…turned my back and it shattered…oops!!!

3 highlights in a week is really all one should ever ask for…
