Fashion doyens, the Pope's house and Roman Emperors

Can you tell which one isn't the statue?

3 days in Milan (working during the day) and 2 days in Rome has been a great trip.

We checked out some of the designer fashion stores in Milan and I (Adam) have decided that even if those shirts were €49.00 instead of €490, I still wouldn't buy them. I guess I'm just not that stylish. But for those of you who know me, you would know that anyway!!

Rome was fantastic, walking around all that history kept us entertained with plenty to spare. We even managed to find an Irish pub (it was St Patrick's day) and drank Guinness while we watched Ireland defeat Italy in the six nations rugby!

An Irish pub in Italy on St Patrick’s Day. I hope you got well and truly pissed bloke.
Anyways it's great to hear you two kids are coming back to OZ and it's about time you made an honest woman out of Mel.
I had to put Sean down the other day. He was 13yrs old and the on set of epilepsy in his old age was affecting him. He had two small fits early one Sat morning then a big one at 11am. I made the decision to have it done & on the way to the vet he had another one. It was one of the saddest days of my life let me tell you.
We have a new member of the family now and his name is Jet. A bit of replacement therapy has helped the kids immensely. He’s black nine weeks old, four legs and a waggly tail, and full of life.
Take care, stay safe & we’ll catch up soon.
