Return to our bella Sicilia

Flint and I just moved into our 'new' townhouse-style apartment last Tuesday. Three levels of moving boxes, etc. up and down makes for a great workout. Our landlord, a cute, young Sicilian named Carlo, lives next door with his wife and four dogs. It's good having him near as we have spent more time without heat and hot water than with. Daily calls about the situation as Sicily must be having some of it's coldest weather ever!!!! We are fortunate to have an air conditioner in the bedroom that is also a heater, and there is enough warmth-after tinkering-to have hot water for dishes and showers.

In Sicily (and maybe the rest of Italy for all I know), each brand of water heater is only worked on by specific people. Although the plumber has visited us twice, the water heater repairman won't arrive until Friday. Looking forward to his arrival as I get cold when I stop traipsing up and down those stairs!
