Thanks to Assassin’s Creed 2 (set in Florence) we’ve just enjoyed a few days break in Pisa and Florence.

Now I’ve discovered that K will travel to the places on my hit-list, provided he can play a video game set there first, I’m on the look-out for new games set in Japan, Vietnam, South Africa, Russia…

Highlights of our Florence trip include:

Taking a bite of the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Palazzo Vecchio (Florence’s government palace – once home of the Medicis)

View from the cupola (dome) of Firenze Duomo (cathedral)

H, my niece, had a photo-feature of her hamster, Lottie, published in the current edition of the RSPCA’s Animal Action magazine:

The bookshelves can wait. My long-serving home PC keeps failing and its end is near. Clearing / backing-up files and content on my hard drive ‘bookshelves’ is the priority.

And so time-consuming too, when you’re reminded of stuff like this:

Hmmm… that wasn’t very successful. Or was it? Trying to make some space on my overloaded bookshelves, I started out by trying to select a few oldies I could get rid of but discovered some recipe booklets I’ve never used.

A trip to Asda, a pile of sesame prawn toast and a mound of lentil + cashew curry later, my bookshelves are still overloaded. So too’s the kitchen, with ingredients for a pumpkin curry this hallowe’en. Roll on the weekend…
