Ice cream addict

II was given this very attractive cap for my loyalty and custom at Desideri gelateria in Montecatini. As you can see I was very pleased! We did go there a lot but the ice cream was just too good to miss. My favourite was a combination of yoghurt and Malaga. LJ preferred Gianduia, Limone and Panna Montata.

Central heating fun!

I spent the morning helping Arthur fit a new valve thingy. We had sieves full of gunge, a hosepipe, a very attractive fountain effect (attractive in the right place), damp carpet and plenty of frustrated impotence but it all ended up ok and we are set for the winter.
