Forza Italia!
Yay - we won!!! Okay, so I'm not really Italian...but I did live there for 4 years and started speaking Italian the same time I started speaking English, so there's a fairly good reason to support them.
Although it was kind of a hollow victory - penalty kicks are pure luck. Oh well.
So here's a nice bit of Verdi to celebrate the Italian win - 'Nessun Dorma' performed by Pavarotti. Perfetto!

I itch
Don't ask me why. In the last 48 hours, something like razor burn has appeared on my legs (I say 'something like' because I don't think it actually is razor burn - I'd shaved over two days before it appeared).
It's very very itchy, and surprisingly distracting. I have to force myself to do other stuff so I don't think about scratching, although as time wears on I'm becoming more and more disciplined. I have this cream (best described as Novocaine for your skin) which provides temporary relief, but the doctor isn't open till Monday. It's gonna be a long weekend.
But on the up side - I've found a site where you can get html for downloadable songs on your blog (5 years ago I wouldn't have had a clue what that last sentence meant - I love technology)!!
My very favourite song for several months has been 'Bring me to life' by Evanescence, which I've even sung on karaoke (don't knock it till you've heard it!). So here it is. Enjoy : )
