...And the house comes tumbling down.
Well, there's nothing to be done.
The house needs to be pulled down and built from scratch. The other option would be selling the land.
But it's a good plot in a good location and central to all ammenities and the neighbours are all lovely. Let's face it: if the roof of your next-door-neighbour who you haven't met yet, falls through your roof and damages your house and you smile and say you understand and it's one of those things that happens, then they have to be pretty great.
So the new office will be delayed for a bit longer. But I'm taking it all in my new-found Sardinian mentality stride.
However, changing subjects, check out the job adverts in Il Sole 24 Ore from yesterday. There are quite a few in English for positions in multinationals in Rome and Milan.
I'm heading out now but I'll post a couple up here later, along with some facts and figures on immigration in Italy.
