Since Monday we have made lots of progress but I must admit we are slowing down. Yesterday we found the "dump" (aka staziona ecologica) and we disposed of a number of things that were superfluous including the old trellises from the balcony, a large fake fern and a bag of plastic wrap from moving. We went again today and took all of the boxes that we emptied and broke down plus the old toilet tank. Tomorrow we plan to take the old washing machine. It is really great having a place to take all this. When we bought the house in Partigliano one had to wait for the return to the village every other month of the giant dumpster. Sometimes we weren't there at the right time. Luckily we had the old barn in which to store stuff, not an option here in the apartment.
Here is evidence of our efforts:
 |
| The kitchen is pretty well set. (Cherie-note your picture propped on top of the marble backsplash. It's a perfect match!) |
 |
| The new shower screen. |
 |
| The new toilet tank and repaired shut-off valve. |
 |
| The secretary is reassembled. |

This morning we woke up and discovered the weekly market had snuck in while we were sleeping. It is open from 8 am to 1 pm every Friday. We actually did not go but it will be back next week. It attracts a lot of people to the piazza.
Now for a little relaxation! |
