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,

Didn't take long, before it started. Non ½ûÂþÌìÌà B&B!!! From a TripAdvisor commentBreakfast on the patio was excellent- even including bacon and eggs!

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.

Flip. Do not think many people like the thought of a plate of cooked tripe!!! Dogs love it though. I prefer the northern UK way, raw with vinegar, salt and pepper. Alan. I do eat in a lot of restaurants where workers go, as I travel around often. What you normaly find is the locals get better size portions. I also believe someone quoted in the earlier forum that they had an increased bill in a restaurant as they were not ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ. I also object to paying 2-4 euros per person cover charge for lunch, which seems to be the new trick around here in certain establishments.

If you just live on booze Alan, then thats ok. All food is getting expensive and restaurants are still OTT with their prices. When most of Europe dropped prices in restaurants Italy did not after the credit crunch.

Interesting point Sebastiano: Only industrial foodstuffs with appropriate expiry dates etc can be served to guests A quick search on B&B in this area, shows quite a few offering home cooked food, evening meals on request, so do we presume they all have health certificates and if so how to check. Would think the fines are quite high if the guest gets salmonella or something similar.

Paulo The quote earlier was for 2010. This year for building cover, (May 2011) was £236.75 + accidental damage £23.68 + taxes £81.95. I then had a discount of £26.04. Total premium £ 316.34. We are fully resident here, so that could explain in part the difference.

Am currently working on floors using this system. Fast and easy to lay, steel reinforcing on top and then concrete. Also ventilate the floor to the outside (under the igloo ) to help prevent the damp rising through the existing wall structure.  If you do go for underfloor heating, you need the slab first, then the insulation and UFH pipes, then the new floor screed. Take that all into account for the final floor height.

Thought of going more green on the electric side, but Enel wanted to charge more for green energy. Perhaps they would somehow just send the green part to me down the cable. At least I prefer to see green trees instead of logs everwhere.
