Well we just can't get Jessie out of the water and to celebrate her 9 month Birthday, we went down to our lovely Lago di Ruffino for a swim!
Did anyone just feel that earth tremor at 11pm. Here near Amandola it was very strong but short, the first we have felt for a while. Hope this does not mean there is worse to come.
Had a great meal in Da Cicco in Gualdo last night. Although it was 10pm when we arrived, Michelle the lovely waitress was very helpful and friendly (she is Romanian) and spoke very good Italian and English.
The devastating earthquake that struck the region of L'Aquila on April 6th 2009 is long gone from newspaper headlines and television reports.

Please can we make a list of raffle tickets bought and add them on here when we have been notified. If we can try and just keep this post for the raffle ticket listing so that it is easier to add up. Thanks.
Please can we list here any raffle prizes we have collected or are donating, so that we can all see what we have:
More raffle prizes! - Sarah who works at Cicerone, the publishers of the walking book we found, has very kindly donated a copy for our BBQ. Anyone else collected any prizes - we need as many as possible!

There is a water park to the west of Ancona, but I have just been looking on the internet and can't find anything about it, even though we found the website a few months ago. Will keep looking!Maybe someone else knows about the water park?The beaches along our stretch of the Adriatic have many playgrounds for the children - lots have been revamped this year and if there is a festival on as well, you could combine the two.The Corriere Proposte (small A5 size magazine out monthly), found in newsagents, has all the festsa's and markets and events listed, so hopefully there may be something on in your area.
No my Brannigans picture. Thanks for the guinesspigs, sorry guineapigs - very good????Can we only put pics on here that are already on the internet? Can't see how to put them on from the com[uter?
Thought we would start by copying the pictures over so we can keep them all together.
Hi Mox,500 would be enough but we would need to split them up if we all want to sell some - not sure how that would work? What do you think?
You can be like the Queen Mox and have 2 - an official thai party and a real indian party.
A = 8 to10
