Electricity!

We had a bunch of electrical done today. 400E. I try not to panic. We need lots more done, but it is peanuts compared to how cheap the house was. He said that there are things we should do next summer. He did very nice work and now we each have a plug by our bed and a light switch to the overhead light. We have one plug in the guest room, a plug and a switch in the studio room. This is good. He was pretty dubious about the whole set up, but we don't run a lot of electrical stuff. The fridge is the only thing. I noticed today it is getting dark earlier.
Yikes, no job, no sun, try not to worry.

Today an Italian guy stopped by today to invite us to dinner, but four Danes are coming to our house so we can't. Evidentlyit is common to ask people on the day you want them to come. This place is amazing. The guy Jim gave the painting to at City hall, returned the favor with potatoes, then we asked him to take our cash and pay our taxes next year, which he did, so we gave him a bottle of 4.5E wine, so today he gave us a dvd, a cd and three books about Castelvecchio and the Subequo valley. You can not get ahead in the gift giving for a second. We saw him at 8:30 this morning and we had to come to his office right then!!! Never mind that the electrician was coming, on time I might add.
