a bandage on my arm by BLOGitse

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!

 

mosquito bite was here by BLOGitse

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!

Monte San Savino, Italy by BLOGitse

 

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.”

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!

greetings from Tuscany, Italy part 2.

Sunday, May 22nd, 2011

 

Ciao everybody!

Huh, I need a holiday -

we’ve been on the road most of the days -

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

Museum of the Etruscan Academy and of the City of Cortona

I couldn’t take pics inside but I hope you enjoy how the place looks outside… :)
