My container has finally arrived

I'm very happy to announce that I've been reunited with my stuff!! Also, I've discovered that I have a lot of stuff and that though the apartment in Milan is bigger than the one I have in Israel, somehow, the one in Milan doesn't have enough storage place.... So, I'll probably have to buy some cupboards or something to store stuff in. No drawers in the closets. A lot of hanging space, some shelves.

I've discovered also that if there's a siege tomorrow, I have enough cosmetics/soaps etc. to keep me for at least a month or two....

I wonder where I'll put all the kitchenware I have? These are the existential (spelling?) things I'm dealing with right now. Very tired. A lot of boxes and things to unpack but all in all as stated in the first sentence - I'm very happy to have my stuff.

The unpackers where very nice. They moved things for me in the house, took things down to the cellar and garage (heavy things - sofas and beds from the 4th floor down), but most of all were calm and helpful. Which was nice. They came with this elevator thing which takes things up to higher floors, a lot better than carrying these things on backs through narrow stairways.

I've also started the process of getting a telephone and internet in the apartment (hurray the readers mutter to themselves...). It took about 7 calls to the cable company but it seems we might just be in business sometime next week. I will update of course.

Nirit sent me an article saying the Italians might want people to register their blogs and pay for them.... (for those who read Hebrew here's the link) I hope this doesn't happen. Can they do such a thing? I was always told that there are effective ways around such barriers? If people can blog from Iraq and Burma I suppose from Italy it would be a piece of cake....

Gotta go. One table lost one of its legs on the way from Israel to here. Paola might help me with a name of a welder.
