Came home late from work to find that my fridge freezer had stopped working. Less than a month after my oven broke. No wonder my wallet is full of moths.

I didn't forget I just got in late and was very tired. Anyway, here are some pictures of the day out. It was fun but somewhat difficult with the language barrier and Italian more used to a Mediterranean climate.

A very old yellow car that reminded me of chitty chitty bang bang

The old buses and vans outside the front of the museum

I have a rule that I only regularly drink hot chocolate between the autumn and spring equinox. Mostly as a way of enjoying the changing of the seasons. This year though I am really craving hot chocolate l. I may have to start early. Then again there's just a week to go

I'm thinking that I need to go to the shop to get some extra veggies for dinner. The question is do I suspend my diet and by a metric fuck ton of chocolate and cake?

Parks and Rec really misled me about doing government work. There hasn't been nearly as many zany hijinks as I was led to believe. I mean yes, I did just do the second fake proposal this year to get someone out of a meeting but not once has there been a tiny horse in the office.

If anyone is wondering why we complain about the heat when it's not even that high. It's currently 07:50 am and 18⁰c outside. My house however is built to retain heat and is already 27⁰c. It's going to go as high as 33⁰c outside today.
