Two nights ago a gecko appeared in my lounge. It stayed high up on the wall and I couldn't reach it even if I were brave enough to handle it. Yes, I know they are quite sweet, eat mosquitoes, etc and it only scares me when it moves!

Hope you are all having a great ferragosto. What's everybody doing? I'm having a quiet day at home with my dog.

I live in a city centre, second floor apartment so I don't get much bother from creepy-crawlies, which is just as well, as I'm a city lady who is terrified of them.

I thought it would be fun to find out what everyone is reading at the moment. I'm reading "Julie and Julia" in English and a bio of Rita Levi Montalcini in Italian.

Are people interested in the UK election where you are? Here everyone is fascinated by "Bigotgate"!

Can anyone else see a beautiful new moon out there? Made a wish?

Nothing but bills coming through the letterbox down here in Sicily. How about where you are?

I think it depends where you are in Italy and how they interpret the rules! I can only suggest you keep going back top the ASL and asking nicely for their advice and help. But I agree that there should definitely be no problem after 5 years.
I like the "phone a friend one" best. Yes, more please!
That brightened up my afternoon.
Hi, Geoff. It is, indeed, a fascinating subject and it is true that many Italians risked their own lives helping POWs. Have you read Eric Newby's autobiograpphy? I hope you enjoy your trip and manage to find out more.
Hi, Pendy. Just saying "hello" because I see there is already plenty of good advice here. I've never rennovated a place but, with Sicilian prices in mind, I should think your estimates are pretty good.
Hello and nice to meet you. I'm not near you but can you tell us a bit more about the challenges you are facing? Maybe we can all help because we've been through some of them.
Congratulations! I think that's wonderful.
Hi, Brian and good luck. I can understand why you are hooked on the area.
Thanks, Angie and Robert. There are loads of pine trees around here so these seem the likely culprits. I'd never even heard of them before! Poor Dylano - I wish I could think of a way to stop him scratching his nose! Poor Harry, too! Simi sends wags and woofs to them both!
Yes, I'm warming to the idea!
