Hi Lynne
Oh boy I am so appreciating the cooler weather - endless days of 30+ heat were doing my head in (and the a/c went all night!), so the slightly cooler weather makes it easier to get stuff done.
Had a lovely evening playing Mah Jong, a regular get together now and a lot of fun. I hosted tonight and made a SW-friendly pasta arrabiata (with home made passata, go me!) which the Italians present liked and asked for seconds of, so I was pleased with that. Much happier now I've got a lot of social stuff lined up - marketing with friends in Atessa tomorrow morning, then dinner out tomorrow night at a local pizzeria, and out on Friday in beautiful Vasto - will pop into the Lidl there and stock up on cottage cheese and quark.
Found the most fantabulous blog about a gay couple oop north who have been doing SW for a while - the blog is hilarious, highly recommended, as are the recipes - google twochubbycubs.
