To Zip or Not to Zip... That is the Question!

Hello dedicated followers, all and sundry! Emma and I have been in Italian school for three days now, and truth be told, after trying to complete said Italian school homework after my last post, I made the decision to ask to be put down a level. Unfortunately, I felt my rag tag Italian that I've picked up around the traps (said traps being mainly family gatherings! :P) wasn't going to cut it. I'd made up my mind.

However, I'd forgotten that apparently in Italy, even if you're paying for something, you don't get to make the decisions! Upon approaching my two LOVELY Italian teachers, and spluttering about how much I was struggling, they both insisted that I remain in the same class! AHHHH!!! It has however, turned out to be for the best, as I feel like I'm learning a lot! I can't believe the amount that we've covered in just three days... so imagining what I'm going to be like in 4-6 weeks is fantastic!!

Emma and I have been wandering over the city of Florence. We've been shopping and stocked our fridge also! The very first meal that was cooked within our quaint apartment was some sort of meat schnitzel, with a side of roasted potatoes and salad! A feast in fact! Here are some photos of said meal during the cooking process...

Me 'dressing' the salad and Emma frying while baking.

Said dish about to be eaten.. YUM.

Today Emma and I spent half the day doing some laundry at the local 'Lavandaria' (laundromat)! It was 3.50 Euros (about $5aud) per cycle! Needless to say that Emma and I combined our loads and washed together. (I think our relationship has progressed significantly since we've now handled eachother's under-things!)

Meanwhile, it's back to school tomorrow. As for the title of this post, I'd already decided on it, however Emma has forbidden me from writing about what inspired it. Draw your own conclusion!

Arreverderci!
