We now have a new addition to the family here, a orphaned leveret. It is only about 8 days old now, but seems to be doing quite well and putting on weight. Feeding it a kitten milk mixture. Anyone else had experience of bringing them up??

Italymag's latest post has just amused us here, about the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Chef Aldo Zilli, as being one of the first to introduce "proper" ½ûÂþÌìÌà food into London.There were many restaurants in London, in the 70's prior to him arriving.One, San Frediano,

Wonder if anyone having the same problems:1. You read a post logged in, then refresh and then it tells you that you have x number of unread posts, even though you have read all.

Because it was raining today, thought to do some price comparisons re non ½ûÂþÌìÌà B&B's to ½ûÂþÌìÌà ones in Marche. I will not name any, but to be honest, you are better staying in ½ûÂþÌìÌà establishments.

Doubt it!!
Esme. It was 50 years ago that I learnt Latin. Even Google translate got lost on that post. Good that you are still keeping up with it though.

Just brought this forward again, as remember some comments from the B&B owners close to where we are in Amandola. The dairy farm that had been there for a number of years, upset them, as the milking started at 5.30 am, and would possibly wake their guests. They wanted to complain to the commune and the tourist board. Pathetic when you live in the country areas.
Stop buying English Bacon........ use speck. No Heinz baked beans. Get a heat pump for the rental unit, then you can rent it out all year.
Bunterboy. If you want to PM me with your email address, will send you a couple of Excel files that you can change calculations in, to see the savings.
On average for the hot water yes. At the moment, it is only operating 5 hrs a week. Total operating hours over the same period, were 1830. The split DHW/Heating 20/80%. So 1464hrs x 2.2kw = 3220.8 kwh is the 24/7 heating cost. If you base that @ 25 cents per Kwh, then it works out just over 805 Euro to heat the house for the year. Have still got about half of the 50 quintale of wood we bought over 6 years ago, as only have very few fires.
Definately a no brainer. Just worked out the heat pump (160 ltr tank) DHW running hours for the last 12 months (13/6/2011 - 18/06/2012). Running hours DHW = 366 x 2.2kw = 805kwh. Have multiplied that by 0.25 cents per hour, so cost came out just over 200 Euro. Recharge time from 46C to 53C approx 5 mins. No unsightly panels thankfully. A GSHP can repay the investment in 4 years against lpg, with heating 24/7. With the added up to 55% tax reduction, plus the special meter rate the saving return can be even better.
Last year, the province put out a brochure with a lot of the Fiestas listed. Have not had one this year so far, though.
Should have got a heat pump on the BTA3 tarriff, oldandbold. Your electric cost is more than mine for the year and I don't have LPG thankfully for heating. You could also use the heat pump to heat the pool!!
