Possible new home
This blog started out on Blogger, but I liked the look of some of Wordpress's features, so I'm moving in to see how things go.
If you like what you see, say so, and think about moving over permanently.
Climate change
By gum it was a little chilly this morning, by Italian standards. To be honest in all my years here I have never noticed a cool morning in June. Unusual, very unusual.
Things start, literally, heating up from the middle of May onwards and June is generally when you wish you had gone ahead and installed air conditioning.
I'm wearing an unusually heavy pair of trousers for the time of year too. Normally anything heavier than linen leaves me sweaty and horrible. On my feet, when I'm not working, I wear sandals with no socks, and my brow is permanently wet from too much sweat. Today, no wet sweat, at least not yet. No sandals either.
Not really global warming so much as 'global cooling' if you ask me.
Positive feelings
First, we took our little one to a specialist yesterday and we both came away feeling relieved. Yes, his problem is potentially dangerous, but then so is a cold if it becomes pneumonia and as long as his problem can be kept under control, he'll be fine. This is great news, but I am a little angry at the doctor who spoke to me upon my son's release from hospital. She managed to paint a rather dark picture and scared me, or maybe I just didn't understand, but I don't think so. Anyway, I'm feeling good.
Just to make me feel even better, I noticed that my bank account had swollen slightly as a result of my having been paid.
I think I am going to splurge on a bicycle.
