There’s a touch of renovation going on at a hotel on the Riva degli Schiavoni in Castello.
I hope some of these apparently almost as good as new mattresses and pieces of furniture will be recycled, not just end up as land fill.
The fellows were hard at work, as you can see.
A bit big for your hand luggage, Yvonne.
I can always get new hand luggage, Andrew. I hope you’re getting some of this nice sunshine.
Good one Andrew!
Yvonne are you sure they weren’t new….?
Looks like a beautiful day on the lagoon!!
No, I had a good look as I casually sidled past, it was used, but ‘good used’. The weather is supposed to revert to normal for this time of year, but I’m so grateful for these few days of sun.
I haven’t had a spritz yet … what is the world coming to?
Looks like the way people here leave stuff on the curb with a free sign…although here before anyone picks them up they are rain soaked. Doesn’t look like rain there.
They do look pretty new.
I’ve been so lucky with the weather so far, Michelle. It has let me prowl a bit, and in the sun it felt quite warm.
Have a Spritz for us Yvonne.
I’ll be pleased to do that for you folks, Rob.
I had dinner with Karen and Mike the other night, in their new digs. What a wonderful apartment it is!
Don’t you just love their living room ceiling? I want one like that.
Looks like your weather is to take a turn tomorrow…I see snow in the forecast.
The whole apartment is extraordinary!
The salt spreaders will soon be out in full force.
It’s incredible, the ceiling, the furniture, the piano, the chandelier, Mikes art, but, most of all..that terrace!!
I suggested Mike dig his Navy uniform out so he could salute the flag in the Naval Academy next door every morning too
Jealous, us, You betya!!!
Yup, put me down as another envious one, Rob.
Hm, I wouldn’t have minded taking that sofa off their hands! Since we’ve lived here I’ve been surprised to realise there are hardly any local secondhand furnture shops – you’d think they’d be very popular, given the effort & expense involved in getting new stuff from the mainland. (Ikea charhes E100 per cubic metre to deliver to Venice!!)
First Spritz in 2.5 hours time?
That sofa looked really good, darn it!
Yes, lo spritz primo in un anno. As you would say “Huzzah”!!
Get these guys a job at the RAH!!! Hey (just by-the-by) why does your “blogroll” have a listing for ‘seductive Venice’ right under one for ‘randy’. No wonder you keep heading back there!! Benny Hill would be proud of yez. xxx
Hi, FB! My secret is now revealed to the world, it seems. Or, at least that part of the world that matters.
Lo spritz tasted very good. xxxxx
I don’t think you secret was ever very secret from people who know you;-)
Looks like a beautiful day in Venice – ahhh…. Is that where we walked along to go to Enrica’s cooking school?
The weather has been lovely, Lynda. No, this was in Castello, we might not have been there during your stay.
