Yorkshire Tea here.....so strong you can use one teabag twice....I like my tea the colour of Fini's tan.
I reckon Silvio calls his willy Il Duce.
Hope Mini-Pippi is better....we seem to have a lot of mini-Italy-poorly-ones at the moment....
Obviously it's still boiling here (even for the natives- people in the sea and everything) I keep putting dd a vest on, more to soak up the sweat in school than because she needs one! (see, I am becoming Italian!)
Found myself at the bottom of the school stairs with the 3 grezze this morning- not a Buon Giorno, nada....on a cultural level they'd give my MIL a run for her money
Then the really nice mother came, and started saying to them about dd's party and buying one present....prior to this I'd heard them saying "oh, did you see the party invitation, ma tu devi andaaaaaare?" and the others were replying "boh, no lo so, vediaaaaaaamo" and I was thinking "good! don't come! pah!" but when Nice Mother was talking about the present, all 3 were "si, va bene, si, facciamo cosi" (see, they haven't even got the ooomph to actually say "we won't be going because we're oiks who'll be sitting on the pavement smoking with our equally fat mothers while our kids run riot through the centro storico" I told one kid off this morning- child-of-grezza, he is always thumping everyone else, so I told him "basta con le mani!"
