hurrah!
at long last we were able to collect my personalised diary! woohoo! So yesterday after work I met up with Marisol and Alessandra, and we went to the store (Cartoleria Pantheon) to pay off the rest of the purchase and to take it home.
It's gorgeous!
It's a wrap around cover that closes with a press-stud, in chocolate leather, with a golden, cursive R embossed into the front. Rather than a blank journal inside, I asked for a 2010 diary, which is a day-to-a-page one. I've always had week to a double spread diaries, so it will be an interesting change, although the cover fits my standard A5 size anyway, so I'll be able to continue using it for many years I hope. Here are some pictures...
Today is also my Daddy's 67th birthday! I called him last night to say happy birthday, so that I'd catch him before he went to work, and a bit later I'm hoping to hear how he liked the card I sent - I chose one with bikes on the front since he's a huge cycling buff, and then I put a postcard sized puzzle with a picture of Michelangelo's David on it inside the card - my dad's name is David, so when I saw it in Florence, I snapped it up - it seemed appropriate!
Today after work the Vernissage opens, so I'm hoping to get some nice pictures of how that looks when it's all set up, and then I have to dash off for Alessandra's farewell dinner in Trastevere!!
Well, that's about it from me!

Yay!
my parents returned from their trip to europe today!
Eyeroll though, their flight was massively delayed, which was so frustrating, we got to the airport at 6:30 am, but their flight was delayed until 10:05 am! what the!
anyway, I helped them unpack and heard about their trip, and they gave me a few little gifts:
Then the kilt/tartan skirt that they ordered should be showing up fairly shortly... so my waiting list is currently:
bunny tshirt
tourist shorts
pink usb drive that's taking a bajillion years to arrive
kilt/tartan skirt
It's good to have them back. Anna's come over to get her gifts and have dinner with us, which is nice, but I've been put in charge of collecting the take away pizza, so that's it from me!
ciao voxies!
