JUST GOT BACK FROM ROME!

Heeeeey, long time no see! I realized it was such a pleasure to drop internet, had no plans to, but I must admit it felt good! Guilty pleasure when you “have to” be so “in here” to make it work. But I can’t let it steer my way, I also need vacations without sharing them in real time.

So, there are two reason why I dropped it all, reason number one: I’ve been in Rome for week with my ten year old, who’s also the photographer (and owner of the cap) in the photo below. She has this magical ability to capture me the way she sees me. This is the only edited photo so far, more to come! By the way, we had an amazing time, and I felt like a child in the pool 😉 We ate less ice-cream than expected, but more caramels, and I’m now addicted to a certain Italian caramel and don’t know how I’ll make it without it!! 😉 I also got a couple of sleepless night, the reason is below the photo…

Reason number two (like I have to excuse myself…): It’s nuts how much admin work and practical work it has been, and still is, with the apartment and the house. I was suppose to be all done with the wallpaper and painting before every big piece of furniture will be moved on Wednesday (!!!!), but noooo way that will happen. Not even close. I’ve hired someone to move my furniture, to avoid a heart attack and a broken back. A new fridge and divers will also arrive the coming week, and if I am to believe the “rumors”, the apartments is now all ready with electricity and water. I’ll go there later today and have a look…

In a couple of weeks Villa Betula is no longer mine, but “New Villa Betula” – I’m ready for you! (even though I have no idea where to put all the things I’ve decided to keep, gosh, there will be several sleepless nights…).
