Good morning from Malta where it is still hot and sticky.
I have someone coming to change my electricity meter this morning. It has been faulty for some time so I expect I will get a huge bill when it is all sorted out. I have been four times to tell them about it, but nothing was done until now.
Happy anniversary, vena, and congratulations on your long marriage. 
Hope everyone has a good day.☀️
Good morning all from a sunny and hot Rome, the city of ancient history, good food, beautiful people and of course my favourite pastime, SHOPPING!
It was a very long journey yesterday, there are only a few direct flights from Glasgow, so we flew via Amsterdam.
The flight from Glasgow was delayed, so we had to race to the other end of Schipol to catch the Rome flight.
I thought I was going to die in that Airport!!☹️
However, we made it by the skin of our teeth, only to sit on the tarmac for TWO hours!!!!!
The air traffic controllers, baggage handlers and catering staff had all been on strike that morning, and one of the runways was out of commission.? it was chaotic
How dare they, when they knew I was going back. to the city, where I should have been born.?
However, the boost for me was that I did it. A few
months ago, due to my health problems, I couldn't physically have done this, and emotionally was afraid I would have a heart attack, so this was a huge step for me.
On our arrival at our usual hotel, our friend the manager had gone to so much trouble to make our room so welcoming.
The new receptionist was so kind to us, she told us that she had been advised that we were special guests.
We have been going for twenty years, since It comprised only six rooms, it is now a luxury hotel with about thirty.
We are planning to visit St John Lantern church, the Pope''s church in Rome, as he is the Bishop of Rome, as well as Pope. It's on the other side of Rome from the Vatican.
There is a wee market beside it, ( I know them all), where cashmere bargains are to be had. The lady only appears on certain days, so fingers crossed.
I'm off for a lovely breakfast, in great anticipation of what the day will bring.
No more walking all day for me, it will be buses from now on.
It's all part of the adventure.
Have a good day all, hope you are improving Dragonfly.
