MN Little Italy 17

[Rosa]

Starting schools, North vs South and books ...ci siamo !

thanks, I had a look, but it's mainly info on younger babies strikes as supposed to 13 months... she had the little I managed to express, so I know it's not the taste, think it might be my fault for my loud "OOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCHHH" when she bit me the other day .

Ah yes, that's supposed to be a classic cause. Maybe try when she's half asleep?

I can't get the sound to work on the computer but am impressed Mr and dd Sputnik.
Minirosa another bad night I got mega stroppy with dh who at 4 am said oh is she awake..I had been up with her since midnight!
She has a ' rumbling temp' 37.9-38.4 she is not happy and off her food ( apart from fuit and yoghurt which she will eat no problem). She might be teething but then again we have been saying that from 6 mths !
Went to the chemist and got sanagol - a natural defense thing to help them . Also seeing doc domani so will ask him .
Can't wait to hear about the party Buch ...What regali are given from the M crowd ? As for pictures for the teacher - end of the year possibly but durante blah !
Camo minirosa really only wants the right side now from me she wants it 1st thing , sometimes mid afternoon and a bit before bed but she is not fussed ..Its me that feeling cr*p about it all ...

same here Rosa, I'm the one feeling cr*p, she's not fussed, I really just wanted to get through winter... might take her to bed with me tonight and see if that helps...

could be teething or could be that because of the fever she prefers fresh/cool things... when I was little and had very high temp mum would give me an icecream and it'd help.

back to read booooooooooooooooooooring stuff for work....

Hi guys, for those who are interested the Constitutional Court in Italy has ruled that the law giving Berlusconi immunity from prosecution for acts done before he became prime minister is unconstitutional, on the basis that it goes against article 3 of the Constitution (all citizens are equal before the law). Evviva.

Bet you he will get out of it somehow... Or charges will be dropped.
39 here this pm for m Rosa really annoying me now ( 1 week) she has a runny nose and grotty .....Roll on spring!

yes it;s good news about the corte costituzionale sentence, although someone was explaining to me that as it's a causa civile rather than penale i shouldn't get too excited. boh. i am so disengaged from italian politics, a bit sad really...

so- am taking a break from teh wire tonight. dh away. dd2 sick with the whining bug (aka teething) so keeps waking up, dd1 refuses to go to bed before 9.30, and i have to blowdry my hair as big meeting at work tomorrow...

Yes, yes, yes, hurrah for incostituzionalita' of the lodo alfano! I bet our joy won't last that long, I'm sure they'll think of something else

Sputnik your dd is gorgeous !!!

Rosa, so sorry to hear about minirosa. Dear friend's 2 yr old dd has been under the weather for a few days now, and she was telling me there is a nasty bug around, which causes cough/cold/fever lasting more than a week-10 days

aaargghh sorry, was looking forward to a long and productive MN evening but dd2 keeps waking up crying poor panzerotta (as dd1 has started calling her). will have to go to big meeting with frizzy hair as usual.

rosa, have they ruled out polmonite for minirosa?

MM, sounds like we're having the same nightmare - only just managed to put dd in bed, though she's still kicking the cot and singing - I gave up twice, so she's spent the last hour here with me after DS kept on coming downstairs becausse she was crying and here with me... managed to wash my hair but will have to use the straightners tomorrow... why bother though with this rain... and I'm pretty sure she does it on purpouse when Dp is at work!!

at panzerotta!!

good for the berlusca thing, but he'll get himselff out of the poo somehow...

i have now managed to blow dry my ciuffo. will collapse to bed now... good luck Camo!

my dd2 is teething too... good luck all of us tonight.

Ciaou bella(s)

Ciao bella!
Did you and your DS come to Italy in the end?

hello MarsLady!

yes, good luck. seems dd's asleep but I;m saying it sottovoce... notte MM

No. The wee wotsit couldn't decide where he wanted to go and in the end time ran away from us. Would still like to take him some day soon.

Hello ladeeeeeez!
How are our poorly/teething little ones? Rosa, did you see the doc today?

I need help/suggestions for what to cook tomorrow night, as dh has invited some colleagues for dinner.

I was contemplating to go to the posh fish shop and get branzini (not farmed!!!)... was thinking of doing something simple, in the oven. Any suggestions? And what kind of vegetables? Heeeeeelp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh, re reading my post, it really sounds uber stepfordy.
Should I tell dh to sort the dinner out himself?

Have got to cook dinner for 7 tomorrow night. One friend is veg but eats fish. Something easy and that could be done possibly earlier so that I have just to take it out of the oven. Any suggestions? Thought of a bean casserole (maybe adding veg sausages and see if dh spots the difference ) or a fish stew.

please do come and help.

franca !

unbelievable!

Oh gosh pippi, I know. Should I fix myself a stiff g&t and forget my insubordinazione?

Yes, I think fish is good as often you can just pop it into the oven if it's good. I love trout in the UK, I thought it was very good. In the oven with lots of herbs, garlic and olive taggiasche is fab!!!!

I do apologize for my terrible use of the english language, it's getting worse!

I found 2 interesting recipes
branzino con verdura al vapore e salsa al basilico
filetti di orata alla salvia con cipolle di tropea

Oh no I was because we had exactly the same reuquest at the same time. Talk about parallel stepford lives !
