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.

Anyone know if Russ & Sergio are in the new community and if so what is there name? What to invite them for a beer.
Sorry Arty - just getting the hang of things (Thanks Mox) - Prosecco on the bar for you Arty - just bring those pork scratchings with you! xMORE PICNICS PLEASE!
Totally agree with you both - always had a great meal at The Angeli Ribelli (and good company of course) - just one thing, last time we were there, they were having problems with their land line and gave us their mobile number for bookings (which I can't find now), do you know if it has been fixed Angie just incase anyone wants to book? or what the mobile number is?
David - your salami was delicious - will just have to work off any extra calories in the garden today!Moxie - title great we thinkAngie - But don't tell toooo many people about our picnic spot - don't want to have to fight to get to our table - Monte Amandola next time? Are you up for it? x
wow - pictures - great - how did you do that!!!!????coming along really nicely now Ronald - just one thing - can our PM button change colour / flash or something if we have a newPM?sorry for all the questions.looking realy good.
Please can we have a link at the top of the Fundraising Activity main page to the Just Giving Website so it is easier to donate/ more visable?
Ronald - can you tell us how we 'invite' people to join our groups if we have set one up as we can't seem to find how to do it. Thanks.
Thanks Gala - have spent most of the last 2 weeks weeding and really don't ever use any weed killers. Will give the boiling water tip a go!It is a constant battle with them but the fireflies should be arriving soon so it will be all worth while (have heard they will not survive anywhere when weed killers have been used - not sure if this is true?)
Ronald - that sounds great. Looking forward to getting to use it!
Don't worry Arty, will make some lemon drizzle for when you come over.Angie. Thought trifle would be a trifle messey for the picnic - maybe next time.Moxie. Do hope there will be a place for our piccys - there is a long way to go with the development of the community, so I hope so!David - I don't mind who comes along - the more the merrier as far as we are concerned as long as they bring yummy food!See you there!
