Appears there is a virus originally found earlier this year, that many AV companies and firewalls have had problems stopping. Zonealarm free firewall does not stop it, although the full version now does.
The orto so far this year has produced mixed results: zucchini, green beans, tomatoes have gone mad Thai holy basil, lemon grass, baby sweet corn also doing well, as are the swedes. Failures at the moment: parsnips and mange tout.
This looks like another new tax that has just been introduced here. On each prescription item, you have to pay 21 cents, even if the medication previously was free.
Does anybody have any recipes for cooking black truffles. We had one today, cooked in an omelette in the French style, but would like to know if anyone has used them with pork, as still have another 2 to use up before they go off.
There are new regulations as from 31/05/2010 as to amounts paid out over 5K. Will post the document in English as soon as I can get this site to accept it without being a URL.

Wonder if he will end up here or Sardinia?

You believe in TA then Angie. Loads of single posts, so not worth looking at for a recommend. Obviously they have never travelled. Sure you plugged the LBFS, but then that is expected. Nothing wrong with ½ûÂþÌìÌà speck, at least not the white scum that comes out. Your guests now get a welcome pack of bacon???
Yorkshire as well.
They missed out Black Pudding as well, so deserves a thumbs down!!
Was not making a judgement Ugo, just a objective comment. Even your great ½ûÂþÌìÌàECB president managed to make the Euro fall today!! Soon the 400K might be 300k if he continues and the Euro keeps falling. Forza Sterling !!!!
To be honest Ugo. Think whoever was restoring that property, was trying to create a palazzo in a normal house and failed. With the price, it looks like a mortgage reposession and are trying to recoup their expenditure. It is very much like the London set, who had to have Roman style porticos to their houses.
Rather OTT Ugo. Were they trying to re-create these:
Forget Amandola. Go to the computer shop in Sarnano, opposite the market square. He is very helpful.
Must say, the best decision we made before coming here was to choose the heating system we have installed. It needs no maintenance, cleaning, inspections etc. Going out to get logs in midwinter is not my idea of a easy life!!! No risk of chimney fires either and running costs are low.
We can use 10 logs a night on the woodburner, for Xmas, New Year etc. Problem is room gets too hot!!
If you can, go to the woodyard just outside Amandola on the road to San Ruffino. There's a guy in the office there who speaks English and will give you an idea of how much. They will also cut to the size you want. We used to go through so much wood in a small apt, that it was ridiculous. Had 50 Quintale (a lorry load) delivered here 6-7 years ago, for emergency use and it's still taking up loads of room in the garage. Would buy as much as you can, that you can store dry, as most is only seasoned for a year. Best time is now, as been so dry
