It's all Go...
21st May... Sylvanna came over to help us settle in and to take care of a few of the tricker tasks beyond my rudimentary language skills like: have a telephone installed, internet, waste bins from the local town hall or Commune. All sorts of little things that are a big deal at the time - once the phone was installed I did take a call from Sky and arranged to have satellite TV installed now at least we can finally put and end to watching the same old DVDs over and over again!
All this however cannot over come the underlying worry that my house sale has still not completed, that all my worldly goods are still in a warehouse
back in the UK somewhere and that I only have a few thousand Euros to my name because the banks have messed up. No matter how much you plan and prepare "things" invariably go wrong.


Still can't help but stop and take in all the views of this pretty little village, we are slowly exploring more of the back streets although I must admit it is a bit of a maze with some roads coming to an abrupt stop. The locals have taken to stare at us on our walks with the dogs. I know we are a point of curiosity but this "rubber necking" will cause an accident before too long

We even take the local Pullman to Sassari to buy a few things that you can not get in the village. Sassari is another world to Chiaramonti; busy and chaotic. Our first trip did not go too well though as the bus broke down in Ploaghe( the next town along) in 40 degree heat thankfully another came along in a hour.
I suppose this is all part and parcel to living in a rural little village.
