I'll just take your word for it that they are 'good'.
FWIW, I don't drink Italian wines. They're too weak for me. It's like drinking cordial. But don't feel bad, I think the same of a lot of French wines too :-)

That blows!!
The only 'working' I did during our break was to cook a couple of meals.
Made some *killer* pizzas with a new base that I found in the shops down there. They were so good, I brought some back with us to give (the empty packet) to my local supermarket for them to get in.

I'm back, and only just getting 'over' the break.
Why is it that you come back more tired than when you left??!!! :-)

I'm just going to go and buy a new freezer........ and dishwasher.
I'll empty the old freezer and give it to someone who hasn't got one.

'cause you actually took a real vacation? ;-) I didn't get as much work done as I'd planned so I actually allowed myself to get lots of rest. I really did need it as I had a bad case of job burnout!

I don't need a new freezer. Just need to get rid of anything in there that's over 3 years old, then inventory it. -- Peace! Om

In the village is not too bad, we actually did some shopping up there and picked up a couple of really good bargains.......... well, she did with her moisturizers and stuff...... I got jack schidt.
Couldn't even score a bloody hot meat pie........ at 1630hrs on a Sunday!!

Yeah... it took me about a week to recover from the 4&1/2 weeks we spent in SEAsia in April.
ATM I'm planning our next trip........ 2-3 weeks in Thailand.
We went to a Thai restaurant when we were at Azzura Greens, and the SO loved the food soo much, we decided there and then that Thailand was going to be our next getaway.

We've had this freezer for quite some time, and I had a look at our local retailer for dishwashers, and he can give me a *great* deal on one of each....... so now the big decision is whether to get the stainless steel look dishwasher, or the white one to go with the washing machine and clthes dryer.
Me... I want the s/s one.
Shiny....... new.... must have ;-)
But the freezer will be the same old boring white.
