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.

Just found a really cheap place to get keys cut in Comunanza - the Ferramenta's just past the chemist on the main high street (Via Roma). They are only €1.30 each and both keys we have had cut work better than the originals!

Have just been looking at strimmers ourselves as our old one has just given up the ghost and in Comunanza they recommended the shindaiwa. Even though we had never heard of them, they stock all the parts and if anything does go wrong, they can be fixed straight away. The problem with our our JCB is no one stocks the parts and we have tried several places (same goes for our McCuloch chain saw - no spare parts!).

Any chance of having more than 10 pics in an album if they add up to less than 20mb? I am trying to copy over Sully's Pups but have to keep making separate albums. Thanks.
