Lucignano is a beautiful, small city on top of the hill.

What a mess my life is now!
Our stuff from Casa arrived and we have too much of everything.
We’ve recycled this and that but not enough. sigh!

The weather is beautiful, at the end of the week it’s going to be hot, +30 C / 86 F!

Why my life is a mess?

No shower for two days…you see why!

An old mosquito bite encapsulated and it’s going to be analysed. It should be “clean’, just an old bite…
Stitches will be removed after two weeks…argh!

Don’t ask me why I didn’t change the operation time…

autumn would’ve been much better time for this!

Photos of the weekends 21 & 22 / poppies in Tuscany, Italy

Would you like to live in a house like this, why?

There were many people taking pictures of this poppy field…

gabbadabba, poppy shadows!

Shadow Shot Sunday

Sundays In My City

I’m sorry about my absence but in Italy I didn’t have time to

blog hop. I’ll try be a better blogger again…even if our stuff from Casa

arrived and I should unpack and organize…sigh.

Have a great weekend!

My holiday in Tuscany, Italy part 4. / Monte San Savino, Arezzo, Italy

Previous posts from Tuscany part 1, part 2, part 3

Original gif file was too big and now some of the pics are cut. Hope you get the idea…

You can find Monte San Savino here:

“also leg of turkey”…

Prosciutto/ham -  in wikipedia

I loooove prosciutto!!!

Wikipedia says

“Monte San Savino was one of the first urban settlement in Tuscany, Italy.

It originated around 1100, but a further century had to pass before Monte San Savino

could be considered a centre of a certain social, political and

cultural importance of Tuscany in those times.”

Detail of the door…

knock, knock…

These old doors are beautiful…

A well – ‘pozzo’ in Italian…

Official website of Monte San Savino here

ps.

our stuff from Casa arrived and now our home is one big mess…

oh boy…this is going to be a longer process than I thought.

But. Life is good!

but I have still a lot of pics to post from Tuscany, Italy…

This is part 3 – ‘greetings from Tuscany, Italy’

Cortona

I could see Cortona from our villa’s garden.

Tuscan ham and salami, yummy!

Beef carpaccio and white wine under the Tuscan sun – what else you need!

Thanks my friend M – this was really yummy!

I shot dozens door pics…More coming later…

Late June, early July these will be beautiful sunflowers…

Isn’t this beautiful…aaaaah!

My suitcase is still ‘somewhere’.

We missed our flight because Lufthansa in Florence waited for two people,

28 people missed their connect flights from Munich.

We flew via Gothenburg, Sweden to Helsinki.

There was a short strike at Helsinki airport on Friday and they have still a lot of bags waiting for delivery.

Imagine how much it costs to deliver a single luggage to all those customers whose bags were not handled on Friday

plus new lost bags, like ours, coming every day…

What have you done during these couple of weeks? Please tell me!

Huh, I need a holiday -

I’ve had just enough time to empty my camera memory and charge batteries and then out again!

Today we’ve been sunbathing and relaxing but tommorrow we go again!

One more week and then back home at the weekend, snif! I could stay here longer!

These pics are from MAEC
