Whilst sometimes simple words seem to pass me by, it is amazing what can be plucked out of a distant memory!.

Just a warning for everyone, a few days ago a friend was badly stung by wasps that had formed a nest inside an outside shed, he was attacked when entering and required urgent hospital treatment.

I have a very good friend coming out to Italy to spend 2 months touring, and hopefully buying a small second home here.

Trying to find my way around this new community, and am slightly better than I was, but with so many threads I am now having difficulty in remembering which one I posted in, so searching for an answer is a task in itself, any easy way to track you

Elicat is right a full blood test is around 50euro, but visits to a specialist can be as little as 16.50 euros, and where I live , in Marche which has excellent health facilities, there is a much shorter waiting time. Your GP is the gatekeeper for the red "ticket" which refers you to the health care specialists, but he/she may well need prompting, and if you are coming to live here and have exisisting chronic conditions, make sure you bring enough medication to last until your Italian equivalant is found, individuals have to take much more responsibility for their health here in my opinion, you tend to carry your own notes and xrays around with you, I think people seem to take a much more active interest regarding health, and argue about where is the best hospital, who is the best specialist, and if you ask them how they are they will tell you in graphic detail without any qualms, my medical Italian is coming on well!A
I live in Marche Alma, close to a place called Montegiorgio, up in the hills between the mountains and the sea, think Andrew is around these parts too. I can remember in Derbyshire when the old guys still spoke a sort of dialect, but I guess they dont now, but its still going strong around here!A
Ah just to be picky, its caller a ricer, not a proper potato masher!!!, and I have one of them, the ricer that is. But thanks .A
Being a market and kitchen utensil store lurker Gromit, I can honesty say that in my part of Italy , I have never seen a potato masher!, cherry stone removers yes, and some things I have no name for but potato masher neinte. But I stand to be corrected, hands up who has ever seen one?A
We have used ours a Bosch very happily for 3 years here, its cold fill only and about I guess 6 years old now. In fact we bought out a fridge freezer, iron, toaster, all have been fine. its best to be aware that too many electrical goods being used at one time may trip your electrics depending on the supply you have.We did though buy our gas cookers here. I know you were only talking about your washing machine , but you might like to consider buying other goods in the (I assume) UK before you come out, as they can be difficult to source and possibly more expensive. The humble potato masher is a case in point!A
Well done Moxie, can I have visiting rights?, a happier ending for this sad event.A
Have sent you a pm.A
And he looks a very happy boy!, what is it with all these cats.Mine as probably everyone knows by now is the much recovered Misha.
Hi Susan and family, glad to hear you have joined the new community, all is well here, beautiful sunny morning, hope to see you all again sometime.regardsAngie and Robert
I wont tell then of the day when some naughty boy locked Clara in the Art store room, for the entire lesson, down in the orchard nobody heard, seemed funny at the time, not now though. My sisters were at the school before me and elder was head girl, a tradition she still carries on to this day!Lots of memories we can share, my father worked for Kennings, and knew everybody in Matlock, my youth was blighted!.Re BBQ, you really dont need to bring anything but yourselves, look forward to it.Angie
