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.

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.

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!!
