We have a 'community' of semi feral cats living around us. One of them gave birth to four kittens last year on our doorstep and have pretty much stayed around since.

Hi has anyone had experience of taking grapes to a cantina? We have quite a good harvest (I think) but don't have all the equipment to press our own wine - nor the skills I hasten to add.

Hi does anyone have experience of a dentist in Le Marche area, preferably English speaking. Someone gave the the name of one near Porto San Giorgio but all I'm getting is an engaged tone - they may be on holiday I suppose.

Well here we are yet again on a monthly birthday.

Well Bert is still taking liberties. As you see from the photos having got rid of one of our relatives from the sunbed - last night - he decides to lie on it himself. Yes, I know he's back to front.

Not sure that I am in the right section but here you go...Olives - might be a little early but we are worried as there don't seem to be many olives on our trees this year.

Have just been sent a form by ENEL following a request to them to change our supply from Domestico Non Residente to Domestico Residente. The form "appears" to allow you to self-certify your residence or get a copy of your residency from the comune

Did you take any photos of them?
We use my-private-network.co.uk and have found them pretty good. The major drawbanck is the broadband speed you have. Although we are with Alice7 which provides us with up tp 7mbs - ha, ha, ha - we have only recently been experiencing downloads of 1+mbs, before it was about .5 or .6 which was just about OK, but now it is fine for watching the TV, either live or "play again" stuff. It costs us £5.00 pcm.
Try Money Corp. Seem pretty good to us.
We're well and have now got Berie a "little" friend, Freya. Sa is just comng up to 6 months and is about the same height as Bertie ... oh dear! She's going in for the snip in 10 days time, so no pups. Hope your two are well. Ciao, S&J
I wish!!!
The beach is the place to be at the moment. Went down yesterday. Lovely light breeze, beautifully warm water. Bilss. However, you do have get into a warm car and drive there. Then you have to get into very hot car and drive back again. Still no pain, no gain as the silly saying goes.
We were recently quoted €800.00 for a survey, so it looks not too far away.
We've been using this for 3 years now and it's a godsend for phoning family and friends in UK, Gibralta and America. It is such good value and there are no limits. Also use Skype which is of course free but not all have access to PC or have good enough signal. It is easy enough to order services online with Telecom Italia but changing or cancelling them is a different matter. I think we wrote to them in the end...
And don't forget we have a small but growing library of books at Servigliano, open Mondays 10-12 and Fridays 3-5. Donations always welcome (plus we desperately need shelves!)
It is on RAI 1 starting at 11:30
