I’m going to guess the bag of trash is hanging to keep cats / dogs / rats out of it before the collection men come around to cart it off. I know we have had trouble with something shredding open and spreading our trash when we have set it outside the rental flat we use in Venice.
The apartment I rent in Venice has detailed instructions about putting out the garbage….not before 6 am or after 8 am and as the song goes….”Never on Sunday”.
Yes, those pesky seagulls!
Oh yes, far too cold for Oscar’s and my liking. Right now he’s curled up on the heater so he doesn’t seem to be particularly fussed by the cold right now hehehe.
Footballers (soccer players) generally wear the shoes of the brand that is willing to pay them the most money to wear their shoes. They used to be called ‘football boots’. “When running along Blackpool’s beach, at 7 am, no matter the weather, Matthews wore shoes that contained lead, so that when he changed into his football boots, his feet felt light, giving himself the impression that he could run faster.” – Wiki
Yeah! Yeah! Rub it in! 🙂 Cold and wet. So bad that I am not going to the football tonight. I’m a Collingwood supporter, so doing it hard! 🙂 In fact we have had the coldest and wettest week all year.
Do you think maybe all of the family members are on the team and that’s why all the jersey’s were on the line? You know….with the cost of rent in Venice and all. And it looks like some opposing teams there too. Should make for heated dinner table conversation.
I’d love to know the story behind them, Michelle. The same number appears in different coloured tops. Basketball is quite popular in Venice, there’s a stadium tucked in not far from the beginning of Via Garibaldi.
There were young people playing basketball on a court in the park right by Karen and Mike’s apartment on my first night last trip.
Yes, it was the variety of numbers and colors that led me to think different teams.
Although, I watched the World Cup match played by Italy this week and several of the players had different color shoes….on each foot and then others had completely different shoes from some of the other ones. Since I know very little about the game I couldn’t help but wonder if that designated the position they played. Then of course the goalies uniforms had nothing to do with what their teams were wearing. Yes, this non sports person watched the entire match at 9am on Canadian TV. Watched the US match too and will probably watch theirs on Tuesday. Soccer as we call it here is big in Seattle.

You’re quite right, Gayle. And, those darn seagulls see the trash as an eat-all-you-want-for-free buffet, also!

Different coloured shoes are probably a fashion statement, and then they’d have another pair with the same/different colours reversed.
