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"!

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

Ciao, Angela. I lived in Grangetown before moving here. Yes, I live here permanently. Well, I'm an Italian graduate who has always loved the country. I always wanted to move here but life and career got in the way. Then one day I was 55 and I decided I couldn't wait any longer! Yes, I'm the article-writer-dog-and-6000-books-lady! Ciao for now, Pat
Hi, Angela. The David Lane book is another I'll add to my list! I've not read "One FLew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" but I'm sure it is excellent. I found the film so sad. Pat
Hi and thanks for the suggestions. I just wasn't quick enough to get a photo but now I'm sitting here armed with a camera! If it appears tonight I'll wake up my dog!
Hello, Smeralda and welcome. I'm sure you'll receive lots of recommendations and advice here. Have a great summer! Pat
Hi, Angela and welcome. I'm in Sicily and I'm from Cardiff too! I'm not near enough to you to be able to meet but I'm sure we can chat a lot on here. Whereabouts in Cardiff are you from? Pat
Thanks, Moruzzo. Those books sound interesting.
I think this group is an excellent idea.
Hi. I've seen it in the Ital press, too. I agree with Penny - buy locally and all should be fine.
Love your blogheader picture, britalian!
Those sound two very interesting books. I'll put them on my "to read" list. I liked Eric Newby's "Love and War in the Appenines" and the film. With regard to the language, you seem determined to persevere so you will succeed. And as you say, you will soon be getting lots of practice! See you here soon, Pat
