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??

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.

Forget Rimessa on the link I gave earlier. Tried it for the second time again after 5 years previously. On a market day. At 1.00 pm only about 4 other customers, spaghetti passable, mixed grill ... one boney lamb chop, leather piece of pork and a grilled sausage with a oily tasteless green salad on the plate. The forno patate looked like they had been boiled and  then attempted to be cooked  in a low heat oven ......... anaemic and swimming in oil. Cost for 2 people with half litre of house wine and coffee E43. Real rip-off place

I know this is not the right time of year, but this was very interesting after wife got back this week. One of the locals in Thailand said use Tiger Balm if you get bitten, by moquitos in small amounts, she tried it and the itching stopped very quickly. If you look on google for tiger balm and mosquito bites then lots of info. Have now got lots of pots of it for the new summer season!!!

This is the latest information that I can find on this. If it gets passed by parliament then another bonus for anyone paying ½ûÂþÌìÌà income tax.

The tax deduction of 55% have not yet been renewed by the Government. La proroga sino al 31/12/2011 con detrazione spalmata su 10 anni, inserita nella legge di stabilità 2011, è stata per ora approvata solo dalla Camera e quindi NON è ancora vigente. The extension up to 31/12/2011 with deduction spread over 10 years, included in the law of the Stability 2011, was so far only approved by the House and is not yet in force. Quando vi saranno novità definitive, ne sarà data tempestiva informazione su questo sito. When there are new definitive, we will post timely information on this site.

Original status to comply:

"Here is a short summary of 55% tax deduction. It is quite a complicated and evolving matter. The maximum deduction limits refer to the single building (unità immobiliare) and will be subdivided if there are multiple owners of the property involved in the spending.
For any further information it is better to read Enea website.

Only existing buildings can benefit of 55% tax deduction, no benefit for new buildings/houses. Buildings have therefore to be registered by local "Catasto". This benefit is granted for all works improving thermal and energetic consumption of the house, the complete list of works is available on Enea website,

Amount granted are:
-euro 100.000 for lowering energetic need of the building (new heating or conditioning system) (that is 55% of  Euro 181.818,18);
-euro 60.000 for house insulation, windows including shutters, roof, etc (that is 55% of  Euro 109.090,90);
-euro 60.000 for solar panels (that is 55% of  Euro 109.090,90);
-euro 30.000 for winter climatisation systems (that is 55% of Euro 54.545,45).

When all works are finished, a qualified engineer has certify that all works are complying with requirements, and can fill in Form E of "Decreto del Ministro dell'Economia e delle Finanze del 19/02/2007" and sent it to Enea by internet.

Other documents are to be kept for eventual inspection of Ministero delle Finanze:
-copy of all payments made by bank transfer, indicating: invoice number, codice fiscale + supplier invoices and partita IVA
"Pagamento fattura nr.XX del XX/XX/2009, beneficiario detrazione 55%  pagamento (supplier with IVA details)."
-receipt of Form E sent to Enea by internet;
-certification made by engineer that all works are made in the right way;
all invoices related to the works;"
