No Water and Yoghurt Making
I absolutely love yoghurt and a bargain. Where’s the connection you may ask? In, or rather just outside, the nearest bigger city, about 30 km from my tiny village, there is an antiques and used market hall. I love this place where I can brows bits and bobs. Somethings are wonderful. I’ve bought an amazing…

Piercing Studio Visit
Day one of a fairly busy week and it begins with a visit to a piercing studio with my daughter and friends for piercings. They are very popular here in Italy along with tattoos. Yes I was surprised too and it’s not just young people. There are people of all ages who have tattoos and…

A Magical Morning
This morning when I got up and looked out from my kitchen to see what the weather was doing, it was one of those magical mornings. I love it when it looks like this. I feel as though I could step out onto the cotton wool clouds and float down the valley. The photo is…

The Rain Came
A very quiet day today. My gardening hopes washed away as the rain came. I can’t believe that we are only just into autumn after an incredibly hot dry summer and I’m already in a woollen sweater! After sorting out a messy kitchen I decided to get on with a knitting project. As the weather’s…

Friday Night Is Pizza Night
In my household, Friday night is pizza night and has been for a couple of years. Now, I was taught how to make a pizza from scratch by an old Italian lady but to be honest, on Friday nights, we buy one from the local supermarket and pop it in the oven. That means that…

Earthquake
Two posts today! We had an earthquake about an hour ago. This is an earthquake zone but normally we don’t think about it. I was, however, just thinking a couple of days ago, that we hadn’t had one for a while. It wasn’t on a huge scale but it does bring home to you just…

The Postal Services
As you may already know, I live on top of a mountain. The roads up are great but not as wide as some of you may be used to. Sometimes delivering parcels can be a problem. It shouldn’t be but there you go. I remember one courier, a young chap, said it was his first…

Dinner Group
Not much to report today, certainly no flat tyres and rescue missions! A very quiet day after work. I am working on a knitting pattern so I swapped in knitting for painting since my art studio was being used by my daughter to host a dinner for her friends in honour of one of them…

Wow! What A Day
… and it’s not over yet! I had thought that today would be a relaxing day where I could paint (yet I like to paint and not the house sort!), or relax and work. I even pictured myself floating about the YouTube perfect home wafting in and out of each room seeing how perfect everything…

Party Day After!
Today after work, during which I was told off by the bosses for not doing something I was told not to do, I watched Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. What a long day! I have always been hopeless at weddings and funerals so some blubbering went on. To break things up a bit I did some spinning.…
