Well, we got to work right away after our arrival on Saturday. Started painting on Sunday & touch-up on Monday morning. Then we unloaded the van & brought all the furniture in. Rudi installed the lamps & started putting the Ikea bed together... It was in a million pieces & we couldn't finish Monday night. So Tuesday afternoon we (actually Rudi) finished the daybed.... with one piece left over... We have decided that they gave us an extra piece rather than taking it apart & starting over! Then we hung the mirrors & the picture and spent the rest of the evening admiring our handiwork.
On Wednesday we took a day off and went to the beach... We had beautiful weather, around 28°C (80-85°F). Then we went to Orsogna to buy supply of wine for return trip. After all, we had an empty van for return!
Thursday we worked all day in the garden & cleaned, ready to close the house till next spring! Then we had a celebratory dinner to christen the new room with Giussy, Phillip, Giulia & Anabelle.
