I'm back

This week writer Catherine Sanderson, aka her of Petite Anglaise fame, hit the headlines once again when she announced undramatically/dramatically (undramatically if you're like the status quo, dramatically if you're a journalist having a very slow news day) that she'd decided to quit blogging about her expat life in Paris.
And that was only after a month's absence from the blogosphere and prompts from one concerned reader.
It made me realise that I've never explained my sudden disappearance...

All will be revealed soon
From HowToItaly - everything you need, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
It's been another busy few weeks here.
Big things are happening on the work/business front. And I'll be revealing all soon.
As for the new pad, it's almost ready. Almost. As in it's officially ours but we're still waiting for electricity and gas to be connected. The kitchen still needs to be installed. We still need a bed and a matress to sleep on. And we still need light fittings. It may not sound much, but I'm in Sardinia where time works in an entirely different way to the rest of Europe....

Revealed: my students on the Sardegna Speaks English course

10 of my 14 students on one of our pizza nights.
These are the words that caught me off-guard last week in the restaurant (note, I'm leaving them in Italian):
?Emma, oltre che un'ottima insegnante d'inglese, sei veramente una bellissima persona. Averti conosciuto è stato molto bello, di te ho apprezzato il fatto che sai rendere le lezioni divertenti e piacevoli. Le tue lezioni già mi mancano e mi consola il fatto di sapere che, anche se non con tutto il gruppo, comunque proseguiranno....

From journalism to teaching and why I don't regret it
From HowToItaly - everything you need, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Ever get those days where you wonder whether or not you did the right thing in giving up one career you loved (journalism) for something even less well paid (teaching) hundreds of kilometres away (Milan's urban jungle to Sardinia's sandy beaches)?
Five-and-half years later and all those doubts have vanished. Let's face it, teaching English on a mega yacht moored off the Costa Smeralda or travelling to work via helicopter to teach world famous peeps (my lips are sealed - I signed a...

Why Marmite is my secret weapon in the Italian classroom
From HowToItaly - everything you need, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Marmite is a regular in my classroom.
It's the most effective weapon there is in keeping everyone - from lively kids to gossiping adults - disciplined.
Because they know that whenever the noise rises to an unacceptable level or they're not focusing on the English task in hand, I take the Marmite out of my bag (dubbed the Mary Poppins bag because no one is ever quite sure what's going to emerge next), place it on my desk and unscrew the top.
The effect is instant silence without me...

Italian builders

Italian builders do my head in.
I went to check on the state of the apartment today. What this usually involves is me reminding F that I have now asked once a week since June for the tiles to be taken off the wall in the kitchen because I do not want beige floor tiles on the wall with a glossy black and white kitchen. Once a week since June, I've also asked for the radiator to be removed from kitchen because I want to put a shelving units there and given that the kitchen is tinier than a...

A whirlwind roundup of life in Sardinia
From HowToItaly - everything you need, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I haven't posted for ages. For three months in fact.
So, here's a quick roundup of what's been happening:
Summer happened. And the summer was hot. It's hard to concentrate when it's 40°C out. To be fair, summer is still happening. It may be Autumn, but we've still got 25°C.
I've been busy arguing with kitchen designers who quote ridiculously high prices for kitchens that you don't want in the first place because they didn't listen to what you wanted. Eur13,000 for three cupboards, a sink,...
