Hmmmm ... I just noted that we need to add a category here ... that is: general, because this blog is quite a personal post and so it does not match what we have now. Anyway: I used places, because the place I am talking about is my kitchen :-)

Now imagine you live in the South of Italy and have an apartment which you cannot reach by car. And then one day the tube in the kitchen gets stuck. You call plumber no. 1, the one who already knows where you live and after some days he comes, makes something and then goes awas withou having resolved the situation. He should come again, but hell ... they hate to walk a short bit and then carry all their stuff with them ... he says he will come when you come back from the trade fair.

So you have that stupid situation that you go to a trade fair (btw. the photos can be seen on pms.i-iter - there are quite many of them). When you come back home you call that guy and he tells you he would call you back within an hour to make an appointment ... WELL ... he did not call back. So I got really annoyed and started to call others. All who knew where we live had a problem to come (strange, right) ... so finally one came along today, an older person, really nice (we called him yesteraday). First he tried to resolve without damaging the walls ... well: no way ... he had to break a bit of the wall (actually it was not really the wall from outside, but the part under the sink) - anyway: now we have a whole more but a useable kitchen again ... 

Living down here be prepared that always something unforeseen happens and things take their time ... one of the disadvantages, but there are many advantages as well ... so actually: I HAVE MY KITCHEN BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
