Picking un the Pieces

[Saturday 26th November]
Coming back to Florence is like picking up the pieces of that old jigsaw that you used to play with when you were a kid.
There are so many memories linked to that picture, so many feelings.
Slowly you start putting a couple of tiles together, and in a matter of seconds you are drawn into that old game again.

Coming back to Florence is like that.
When I first arrived here 2 nights ago I didn't want to be here. I didn't say anything to my friends, almost as if I was here for just one day, as if there was no point in calling.
Then after all the exams at the hospital I finally got around calling some of them, and slowly, my good old Florentine life style was back on track, the picture started to regain its shape again.

There are a couple more pieces that need to be placed, but all in all I am happy to be back.
It has been an hard month the one that I have spent abroad, and the spell in Vedano when I came back, felt just like another leg of the trip.
Finally I can rest, my mind and my body, hoping that the surgery will not take too much of a toll on me.

Nothing much to report today, went out for lunch with my mum and Renzo, her "boyfriend", had a marvellous fried rabbit and tuscan style "ribollita". Chatted all the time with Renzo's son who's into a computer business, so we had much to talk about. Tought him a couple of things that he didn't know; a nice candy for my self esteem.

In the night I went out for dinner at Andrea and Maya's home. They have two wonderful kids (Sofia and Leonardo) and I spent a really nice evening, talking about several things, including work. Andrea as a matter of fact, works in the same field as I do, if was because of him that I moved up north and started a career in the textile business.
Maya is now working in textile as well.

What!!! You were in Florence and you didn't tell it to anyone??? I'm very disappointed by you :-(, Don't you dare do it again!!! Anyway, when will you know the result of your exams? Keep in touch.

Ciao Fede! Actually I haven't really hd a lot of time to go out these two days, mostly because I have to attend the usual family meetings and such... But from tomorrow you will surely hear from me mate! :)

That's better :-) How long will you stay in Florence? We must organize a meeting before you go back to "maughe"

A lot longer than expected--- 1,5 months maybe?

Uknowwho...

Who are thou? Maybe putting a little name next to the post, you won't be banned or anything, that I can insure! :)
By the way call me if you feel like (I'd do it but I don't know who you are), and sorry for not having said anything, but that's what the blog is here for, reaching also all the people who know me and that maybe I don't hear quite as often! :)
