Today I will tell about the curative powers of Air here in Italy. Of course, most people hang their laundry out to dry as electricity is supposedly very expensive (although we know not yet how expensive because we haven't yet received a bill- I guess they bill quarterly? if they get around to it?). It follows then that the laundry hangs outside on railings, drying racks, fences, lines and balconies. Okay, I can see that. I myself now have three drying racks and use them regularly- I will get a pic sometime, although I doubt it's all that exciting. I have also walked out our door only to find our landlord, and two neighbors (also male) standing just outside our door, next to my drying rack that was filled with my unmentionables. Umm, I felt a bit bizarre and went back into the house to return later to re-arrange my drawers. At this point, I don't think I would care- perhaps I am adjusting to this new lifestyle, eh, who am I kidding? I think I would still feel weird, I am sure to find out. Okay, now onto the point.
So, the laundry I can see, but the other day, our neighbors (we call them Chris and Tabitha although we really don't know their names) had more than just their laundry out. It seems that the Air here is good for all furniture, toys, etc. You can click on the photo to enlarge the image and see for yourself that their entire sofa is on their porch! That is our sight of Italy for today and what an interesting sight it was. And, for those of you wondering- yes, I have actually hung blankets out the window and yes, I have seen the neighbor's blankets fall on the ground below- I haven't experienced this yet myself : ) (As an aside, some of our visitors have been known to bring 3 times the normal amount of panties just to avoid this embarrassment-how many panties will that be for the entire summer???? Hmmmm.....)
