we're melting!

Yes folks, there is a heatwave in London. We're bracing ourselves for another week in the low to mid 30's (or 90's Farenheit). Unbelievable. All the Poms keep saying to me that it must feel like home. hmmm..... I'd like to remind them that Australian summers are always much hotter and more humid than this and last for a lot longer. It's like they are in competition with everyone on the weather now. Their inferiority complex is continuing on to greater degrees (excuse the pun) since the World Cup. I heard on the tv the other day that London was even surpassing Rome in the temperatures being reached here. Who cares? The Italians won the World Cup and it's now time for the English to move on.

Mamma mia! Soho truly became little Italy on the night of the World Cup, according to trusted sources. Honking horns, impromptu street parties, revellers in the streets.... only with a Perroni in one hand and a green, white and red flag in the other. It's just not cricket..... (and we won't talk about that coz the Poms suck at that too.... recent debacle against Sri Lanka at home)

I only wish I could have seen Lygon St, Melbourne, on the night of the World Cup Final. Che pazzo!

We had an incredible time in Italy over the Easter period earlier this year. 10 days travelling through the countryside on the inter regional trains. Starting in Treviso, (Padua)/ Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, Pompeii and Sorrento. The Italian lessons I've been taking over the past 12 months paid off and by the time we reached Rome I was holding my own in arguments with bar staff over the price of top shelf cognac.

Every city was amazing. Roma was definitely my favourite. Such a fun town. But anyway, have a look at some of the pics I've posted and I'll get around to the tales of travels in another blog post.

Meanwhile, back to the sweltering conditions. Ciao!

ok ok.... quit the nagging. I'm back online. And I'll write more. Yeah yeah... said this before...but my life is kinda boring right now. All work, no play.... well, I suppose I kinda get round to some playtime here and there, but it's certainly not enough. The next task after this is to upload some photos. Mind you, nothing I write or the pics I post from now on until some time in the future will be in any particular order. It will only be my small snippets of memory coming to life at certain times. So just bear with me. Please.
