I posted this information in the old "Northern Tuscany" group and I think that it was helpful.

Located less than a 100 m away from the Ponte Vecchio this centralli located trattoria is excellent value for money. You will find it on a narrow street called Via Stracciatella, to the left of Piazza di S.

It is that time of the year again! Plants see to thrive, but the terrible weeds do it as well.

I did not want to hijack Ronald's thread on Sardinia and the G8, but following a post on the same topic by Adriatica and my own commennt, I thought that it may be interesting for many to see what we are talking about.

Mimosa, I hope that you will not mind if I also say "Hi" to an "oldie" from the Forum, Daviduno. Good to see you here, David.

Alma, my advice would be to write down your password in an address book. I did that!

I have always been hopeless at quizzes, that is why I never participate in them; however, I am putting 10 pounds in the kitty as a fine for being incompetent. :)

I agree that it takes some time to get used to this; however,I have started to notice a definite improvement. It is just a bit of practice what is needed.

I haven't had a drink, my hand is very steady and I get the same results. Gremlins in the system or a conspiracy.....

Although caustic soda is used, generally in weak solutions, I would be a bit worried about using it. Salt and also vinegar have been used for weed control. Still, I would prefer just plain boiling water, so start planning for the camp fire.

Gromit, it would be better to use a thermos flask, but make sure it keeps the right temperature. Otherwise, have a camp fire or one of those camping burners with a kettle boiling on site. Never run with a kettle full of boiling water. As for Caustic Soda.... you are really dangerous.... :O
