Why the chocolate disappears in the summer

The other day we were going for quite a road trip. So when I passed a shop which sells chocolates and stuff, I thought it would be a good start with a piece of chocolate.

When I came out proud with my pieces of chocolates. I offered one to my girlfriend, and one to a friend. My girlfriend said "wow you were lucky. normally the chocolate disappears from the shops during the summer". While she was saying that I unpacked the Bacio, even faster now, starting thinking about how fast it would melt.



While chewing it, My girlfriend open hers, and exclaimed "There are two small worms in it". Me chewing a bit slower.... "Look" she said, and we could see two small white worms crawling around in her chocolate.. The friend opened hers two and found more worms in hers. So I guess I just ate some worms.

My girlfriend went back to the shop to tell them that it was maybe getting to much summer for these chocolates, while I chatted a bit with the friend. At some point she stopped talking, and pointed at my face... "Kim, there is a worm crawling around in your beard"...

ARHAHgg I said, and brushed it away.

So I guess the reason why there isn't any chocolate around during the summer it because its full of small white worms...

The Gheddafi show

My work office is place on the corner of a pretty busy street, with lots of hooted and shouts during a normal workday. But today a cheer symphony reached our ears just around lunch time. all the traffic was blocked by the police on the side roads.



For no reason which we could see, because the traffic on the main street kept being guided on by the police. But of course it was because Gheddafi was going to pass, with all his group of women bodyguards and half the Roman police squad protecting him.

The man who has closed off one of the biggest Villas in Rome to put of a presentation tent, to meet people.

Its the third and last day of Gheddafis stay here in Rome, He arrived in a uniform which looked like something he had stolen from a Michael Jackson concert, with a large picture on his chest, showing some people which should remind people of the horrors Italy did in Libya.

During his stay here he has said that the only way to do democracy is to remove the parties, saying that the use of left and right side parties obstruct democracy. He will also speak in front of 700 Italian women, which he has said that he will try to liberate

Here he is, I guess after around 10 polices motorbikes and 20 black Mercedes:



What a waste of money...

Have you ever been standing on Piazza San pietro and wondered

Have you ever been standing on Piazza San Pietro and wondered how the statues standing on top of the church looking down at you, looks from the behind, well here is a unique view. Unique in the sense that at this time of year takes many hours of standing in line in the sun to go and see it.



And this is their view:


A funny story ?

Here is a funny story.

In the beginning when we first got out dog, we hadn't put up bars in the car to protect the car from the dog, so one day when we left him in the car, he jumped up and chewed the seatbelts in the front, nothing else.

Then we got the bars - Okay the bars was not of solid metal, but we thought that it would be enough. It wasn't.

The next time we left him in the car a bit, he managed to get of the bottom one, and chew the two seatbelts of the back seats.

Again we shouted at him, and he was very small. We never got around to installing new ones in the back, so we thought it were still safe to leave him in the car. At least until last Monday...

We left him in the car for an hour, in the shadow with very open windows. This time he really got in panic, because he managed not only to break of the bars, but also to break the hanger where they were attached to the seat. And then he finished all the seat belts.

Otto - our dog - is a great dog, sweet and intelligent and yet very stupid at times too, but hey he is a dog.

The sad thing is that this funny story so far has costed us something close to 1000 Euro in new safety belts - still think its a funny story? We are not laughing much any more.

But he is still a sweet dog, that just panics when he is left alone.

The poor Berlusconi

After having claimed that the only reason for all the bad publicity in the international papers is because they only talk with papers who support the left side ( in politics) he has now taken it a step further to claim there is an international conspiracy against him.

His usual victim attitude...
