ringhiera blu

I am jealous myself ...

I can't be there right now.

Instead I am sitting here in super cold Germany with 10 degrees and rain.

But at least I have something to dream about !!! :-)

PS: one would almost not see the antenna....

And here to compare one "BEFORE blue paint" picture:

photo update of the completet ballustrade:

Fantastic job, Angelo ! Salute, cincin !

no title

a "still lifes" photo by Angelo

This is Angelo's bike in front of our main entrance door. Apparently he drive his bike every morning from Vibo Marina to Pizzo, about 4 km along the coast (is the coastal road open again?). The above photo he sent to me with the message that the door is almost finished. The only thing that is missing are the borchie ("deco nails") for the lower part.

Isn't this colour amazing ?

This ringhiera (balustrade) is not for bellezza (beauty). It is for safety.

But now, with this blue coat of paint it became really beautiful !

And here we have the first bathroom to come to life !

With some blue colour it looks so inviting !

Many ask me what the palazzo is doing. It is progressing so fast ! You won't believe it because I have no time to blog. But Angelo is still on site and pushes the work continiously. He is there everyday. And he sends me pictures everyday. I just can't keep pace with him and post everything new and pretty.

BTW, I am back from Bangkok (back in Germany). I spent there three full days. We did decide on the school for our son. But not about the place to live in. Actually, I could start the countdown for the move to Thailand now ...

Unfortunately our German school holidays for this summer start late (end of July) and the British international school holiday in Thailand end early (mid August), so there is no time to spend summer holiday in Italy in our house and on the beach. It seems that we have to wait until next year to enjoy what Angelo is preparing and organizing so well.

update

Thanks to Angelo the restoration and repair work goes on in many areas of the house. And thanks to Angelo I got visual updates on a daily base.

A slightly unusual view of the house.

The main door is missing as it needed some repair work due to some cracks.

Here it is almost finished. The correct window frame is finally installed (round not square).

Just some frames are still missing.

While I am writing this, I am sitting in Bangkok, ready to meet again with the real estate agent to find the right place to stay (remember: we are moving back to Bangkok in July!). That`s what I am doing since 2 days: visiting schools, houses and appartments. I am only here for 3 days as I did not bring my son for safety reasons (now its quiet) and health reasons (ear infection).
