I know. Silvia and I laugh about him and the way that he ‘presents’ the food that Gina sends up as if it is really from him!

Well, I have a special relationship with Gina. Sometimes she gives me things that she has made for me to try. Sometimes, she has no choice but to give them via Carlo – who, then, always makes out that it is he that has persuaded Gina to give me something. Today, however, as I was getting my lunch, she came out with the cake for me to try. It was very good and, to make sure I get the next one, I was careful to thank her and tell her it was delicious before I left the canteen! Although, to be honest, as I have mentioned in previous posts, the food we get in the canteen is far, far superior to the food I have ever had in any other work’s canteen. Not quite restaurant standard but very close.

Mmmm…I can stop eating almost everything, almost: pizza and chocolate are in the “always eatable” list!
