Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are back from Florence. I must re-write my list of 5 favourite cities because Florence will be right there at the top. We had wonderful holidays and Mr. Alexander made some gorgeous pictures. In short:

- I have seen so many paintings and sculptures by Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo Da Vinci that my head is still spinning

- Ice-cream in Florence is the best in the world

- In Florence everyone has a bike or a scooter and uses these means of transportation whilst wearing high-heeled shoes and without wearing any protective suits.

- I have developed a great like for Mr. Iain M. Banks' novels during the course of holidays

Fannish metters

I am in desperate need of a new Western show to watch and will be thankful for any recommendations. Just before the holidays I have discovered absolutely great (although short) Canadian show "Durham county". I highly recommend it and will try to make a proper post.


Asian drama matters

I am watching "Orthros no inu" and loving it. OMPH! Takki is so grown up and pretty! If only Nishikido Ryo and Takizawa Hideaki were cast in the Japanese re-make of "Mawang" instead of the ugly leads that were cast for "Maou"!!!!!

Welcome home! Everyone I know who's ever been to Florence has raved about it. I can't wait to see your photos. As for Westerns, my favorite was the show (not the movie) How the West Was Won, with a very young (and cute) Bruce Boxleitner, but it's never come out on DVD as far as I know. :-(

I loved Florence and I was so glad we had enough time to explore. I even had a chance to go twice to Uffizi Gallery.

Thank you for the rec - I will try to find it!
