Paolo’s Bday trip to Florence

Rich — Fri, 20 May 2011 13:30:48 +0000

Paolo’s birthday gave me a great excuse to get away from London for a bit and sample a bit of the Tuscany lifestyle. Not sure whether it made things better or worse. Damn the lifestyle is good out there – the weather was 28-30 degrees but strangely not too hot, mostly due to a fresh breeze. Friday Viks and I went into Florence and explored. Found this crazy Cemetery with the most ornate head stones and Mausoleum’s I’ve ever seen. A beautiful way to celebrate the afterlife. The rest of the time we were either somewhere Near Piazza Santa Spirito be it day or night. Not sure entirely why. Florence has an odd approach to social life – it’s a lot more discreet than London that’s for sure. To say it’s more sophisticated is an understatement.

For Paolo’s birthday we met up with his friends and work colleagues and went for a few drinks and after a lazy day in the sunshine around the pool the next day, we caught the train back to Pisa to catch the plane.

Dovydas’ Birthday

There’s something predictable about combining 3 Lithuanians with a Spotify playlist of pop hits from the last 50 years playist on Spotify. Firstly, you’ll hear songs you’ve always liked but dared not admit and secondly you’ll be guaranteed to be dancing like a nutter with a smile on your face…

Veronica’s Hawaiian Party – Florence, Italy

Rich — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 15:25:24 +0000

Slightly co-incidentally, but then not at all, I had arrived at Paolo’s resort-style home on the weekend of Veronica’s Hawaiian Birthday party. Terrible timing as you can see.

Mum’s 60th birthday @ The dog races

Rich — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 12:34:30 +0000

Probably the only time I’ve gambled and ended up winning, apart from one time in Tahoe when I kept winning on the craps table. This time it was at the dogs. Somehow, seeing my Mum give her named prize to the winning dog on the dog track it seemed a strangely fitting way to spend the first part of Mum’s birthday with her family.
