First, I want to say I've been enjoying the cup-a-soup that I bought in the UK. Such a silly thing, but my meals historically have been a bit of cheese, some sausage and a coffee (no longer partaking of this delight) around 10 followed by lunch of a cup of soup around 1 followed by dinner between 7 and 8. George is not a soup drinker so for me to make a pot, I would be bored senseless after eating the same soup for a week. "And now for the rest of the story..." (Thank you Paul Harvey)...
First, our beautiful new Tesla. We bought a temporary tag to get it home. Home. Panicale. Home. I like the sound of that. >>> And then the problems start. We need to register it so we park it as required and go to Perugia to register it (45 minutes away). We rent a car because we are responsible citizens. Then have Antonio drive us because we are intelligent citizens. And then we find out we need all of the documents translated and apostolated. Fine. We did that. then we wait some more. What next? Oh. Residency.
Here we go again. The Burr-ass-cracy. We have our Permesso. Now we need the next bit. We apply, but there is a problem. Too many nosey ninny's in the community have told those in power that we own 3 properties and live in each one of them at the same time. FYI: 2 are uninhabitable. One has no utilities and the other has now anything. No running water, no kitchen...nothing. We have an acquaintance in" town" help us with a contact of hers but this does no good. Now we need our Marriage license apostolated or we aren't married (welcome to Italy). To do that we need to go back to Miami....And the beat goes on...
Meanwhile...
I purchased a new Ford Transit van because I can't have a more powerful engine because Italy has decided that after 30 years of driving I will be a new driver. I guess I need to learn all of the bad habits here like stopping in the middle of the road to answer the phone (not driving right?), rounding every corner striding the center lane, and never using turn signals are a few things that come to mind. Sadly, we can't pick up the truck until after DCD so we have to rent the car for yet another month.
Until I have some news, happy puzzling all.
