The next 4 days....

Hello everyone! Well I know it has been a few days since my last update, but my excuse is that I have been rushing around like a headless chicken looking for a place to live. You may be pleased to hear that finally after what felt like 5 fruitless days of searching, I managed to find a lovely room in a flat sharing with two lovely girls. I'm also feeling slightly smug that it is right in the heart of Bologna, I couldn't ask for better. So now I feel it is my duty to explore all of the restaurantes and bars in preparation for your arrival. Of course, this is purely an act of altruism on my part as always, and I take no joy whatsoever from taking on this arduous task. 

 As for school, it has been 4 days since I started, and I'm actually enjoying being back at school. We have a rule of vietato parlare inglese (prohibited from speaking english), which although is very difficult when you have such limited volcabulory, it helps with progress. It also means that I spend a lot of time waving my arms around, and making silly gestures to explain what I'm talking about at times, but as we are all doing that at this stage, I don't feel like such a limon (lemon :). 

I'm also learning to walk slower as well. I know that sounds strange, but I'm probably the fastest walking person in Bologna at the moment.. "Spot the Londoner". As a typical Londoner, I have two speeds of walking, 'fast' and 'fast get out of my way, or I'll take you down with me", but dear reader, you will be pleased to know that this is changing. Dolce Fa niente will be my new name soon, just you wait and see..... ciao ciao xxx
