It's been a week. And to cap it all I had my first earthquake today. So did most of Greece, but I was in the Carrefour doing my shopping and things fell off shelves. Just thought I'd let you know that Im living on the front line here.
Apart from that, Ive been sandpapering for most of the week. Not my favourite job, in fact it's up there with ironing as things I would happily never do again in my life. But needs must. Adverts are running in papers and on the net and people are contacting me. it's all go. Trouble is, Italy is still on holiday. Well, it was Epiphany and the streets were filled with little children singing Christmas songs and reenacting the arrival of the Magi. Modica decided to have a notte bianca on 5th Jan. most cities do this in the summer, but not here. they chose the coldest night of the year for the shops to stay open and people to revel in the streets till 4am. It wouldn't happen in Stockport, but then I suppose it does on a Saturday night. the only difference between Stockport and Modica is the amount of vomit on the street the next morning.
