We are going over soon for our first visit to our recently purchased house.

First time driving over -so a new experience.

It just dawned on me though - we'll need heating as summer is disappearing.  There is a wood burning stove - can anyone advise:

what is Italian for the wood or logs i.e. how do I ask in the shop can I order a delivery of logs?

Such a simple thing to overlook - any help appreciated.

I have two questions which I wonder if anyone can help me with:

Talking about food with a friend from Tuscany yesterday ... in Piemonte in our stews and frittate  we use La Saporita but in Tuscany they use  the Zibaldone

Do you know/use this blends of spices at all?

I expect a very simple question - but one that has me a little confused. I was looking at buying a generator and extension lead - when I noticed the the connection from the generator was normal two pin, but the extension lead has a 3 pin, so I would have to get a converter from 2 to 3 and back again. Why does Italy have the two types of connection - what is the logic here?

Does anyone know of a computer specialist in the Montegiorgio Marche area who can visit the house and sort out our rubbish connection on what is laughingly called broadband (snailband here), thanks
