Bits and Pieces

School has really started .... well, almost. We had our first full week with the students, but Monday and Tuesday not all classes met. Next week will be the first full week of the real thing.

We are legal! We picked up the renewal extension of our Permesso de Soggiorno at the Questura yesterday. We were done much earlier this year and did not need the auxilliary trip to be fingerprinted.

Our car is ready to roll for another year. We got an oil change and two new tires. They did away with one of the inspections we needed and another is good for two years, i.e. until after we are gone. One more big tax to pay by the end of the month.

The weather finally really broke. We went from three straight months of temps in the 90's and not a drop of rain to over two weeks with more rainy days than not. Today the temperature topped out below 60! We had all the windows in the house closed all night for the first time since we moved in during June (except when we were traveling and the house was empty).

Mensa meals and mensa meat are part of our life again. So far the huge lines have't been there, but classes didn't really start in Italian schools until yesterday.
