Poste Italiane

Currently spending quite a lot of my time in the post office sending out packages to people who adopted trees last year and are now receiving their two litres of olive oil as well as new adopters for Christmas this year who are getting their gift packs.

I cannot say I am enjoying it. Queuing has never been my thing and as for one fingered typing. Never a visual pleasure.

However one thing I can concur with is what one of our new adopters wrote:- "The best gift in the world - Italian olive oil".

Stuff

Went to our local post office today to collect a sample wooden box as we want to change how our adopt a olive tree scheme looks. It was closed as someone had tried to detonate some sort of explosive device in the cash machine to access the cash. This was foiled as the cash machine caught fire!

Quite some event in sleepy Borgo Trevi.


One of the Italian TV channels showed a reply of the 2006 World Cup final which Italy won. This is the last time it will shown for a while and I don't think they will be collecting this years trophy. Having seen Spain crush Poland the other night 6-0 then I think they will be in with a great change alongside England and the All Whites - New Zealand. Did you know the NZ basketball team is called the Tall Blacks!
