Note: Photos show progress in reverse order - this is a blog afterall!Well during these past weeks I just haven’t been able to see the wood for the trees!
So involved with coordinating this move that only can I begin to comprehend this life-changing event…
Oh the wonders of life – the historical wonders of the past are revealed as I peel scraps of newspapers dated 1900!!!
History isn't what happened. History is just what historians tell us. There was a pattern, a plan, a movement, expansion, the march of democracy; it is a tapestry, a flow of events, a complex narrative, connected, explicable. One good story leads to another." -- A History of the World in 10½ Chapters, 242. Julian Barnes
Oh the wonders of life that flash past me as I lie writhing on the floor after a 2m near fatal fall that crashes my whole life back into perspective (only today do I feel the after shock has oozed out sufficiently for me to even write about it).
Oh the wonders of Italy as I battle with deficient workmen who have to take the afternoon to see the World Cup match and this is just the second round, will the country grind to a halt if there is a semi-final match?
Oh the wonders of friends like Gianpaolo !!! No words would be sufficient to express my gratitude, the support and care unique and to think he’s flat out on his back too – “che coincidenza” : --)) Sei Grande Gianpaolo! 
This is stage one:
What was that bit about the survival of the woodworm convincingly asserting the existence of an alternative, repressed version of events?
Tomorrow we'll see if they have survived and the new version of events will unfold...
