Home From Rome

June 23, 2009 by Gail

My friend scored this heavy-duty pasta maker at a flea market on Sunday, which is doubly brilliant because we couldn’t find a similar model new anywhere in Rome. This thing weighs a tonne! My bag was less than 10kgs when I flew to Vienna, and it weighed in at more than 15kgs from Rome. The only other stuff I bought was lightweight, so the pasta maker must weigh around 5kgs!

My flight from Rome was due to arrive at 10:15pm Monday night but touched down about half an hour earlier, time savings that was gobbled up by a long wait at the carousel for my one bag, and the misfortune of shedding ONE too many keys off my keychain when I left for Europe, which meant that I got in my front door but locked myself out of my apartment with cats wailing on the other side!

A couple of hours later I finally crossed the threshold of my doorway and was greeted by the furry gatekeepers.

    We have a pasta machine like that one. It’s awesome! Welcome home! What’s with you and getting locked out (or in!)?

      What can I say, I have TOO MANY KEYS! And they keep getting changed around here and look awfully alike, which means I need to get some of those coloured rubber key thingies to clearly identify each.

    Yay, you’re back! And your picture of your beasties is making my heart ache for my own wee tyrants :)

    You always seem to have some story about keys in your house that is terrible at the time, but amusing later on…Is this a chronic issue? :D

    Your love/hate relationship with keys goes on I guess :)
