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.

Wonder how well these remedies work?

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.

Liked the article, but you can get Thai ingredients delivered to your door here, as we have done for a number of years and it was next day delivery. Only last week we had a large delivery to restock supplies. Have been using the lemon grass we grew from seed, and am about to order the tiny Thai green aubergine seeds, which will enhance the eating experience even more.  Last night was a Thai green curry here and it is always great to have a change from spaghetti, whatever the northern ½ûÂþÌìÌà guy thinks. Wife is off to Thailand again next week, so sure our Thai friends will load her up with more delicious things for cooking. A few links:

A general article.

This shows tyre regulations in many EU countries.

We used a resin product on our external tiles, apart from being expensive, it appears to work well, as the staining from the peat in the pots of basil wash off. This other article could help if you want to go the wax route.

No, it is a different one Penny. It is on the estate just as you leave Amandola, by the sports stadium and garage.

You could try the Opel garage, just out of Amandola on the Fermo road. Danni there speaks some English. We get our tyres from him. Another alternative is the tyre centre on the industrial estate, on the road to Communanza. We used to have ours changed on the rims for the Citroen each year, cost was under E20 including balancing. You will still probably need snow chains, unless you have 4 wheel drive.

The high premium was for the Mitsubishi Pajero LWB. Have just had the quote in for the citroen xsara as copied and pasted below. "Your motor insurance is due for renewal with us on 02 November 2010. The renewal premium is US$ 859 (about 540 GBP)."

Have ours fenced off to protect the hunters from a 70kg Abruzzi Pastorale, which they seem to be very wary of if they come anywhere near.
