I won! Since this happens rarely and certainly if V is playing (since he nearly always wins) it was quite something. It was a match arranged by V with some colleagues since one of them, L, was convinced he could take V on and beat him.
But I did like the ‘new’ way of making deals. L started it with the deal he gave to M, letting him complete the ‘dark-blue’ set on condition that he wouldn’t have to pay rent if he landed on them. Then I made a deal with him in a similar vein but also collecting 25% of any profit that he made during the game.
>However, my coup-de-grace was letting V have the final green one in place of a complete one and a half sides of the board! I knew that he wanted the greens so much that he would give anything to get the set.
And it snowed Sunday night, even in the centre of Milan. And it’s been very cold since then. I just HAVE to get another job because they don’t keep the offices warm enough for me. The forecast is for snow and rain from now until next weekend! Enough already! Roll on spring.
In other news: I think my feet have put on weight. It seems to be getting harder to get my socks on.
Also, I found this morning, yesterday someone at work found my blog. I was a bit concerned for a while but then I thought it must be Pietro. Luckily, perhaps, it was. However, whilst I was looking at all the sites they had visited, it did scare me for a while. Anyway, now that he has found it perhaps I should include his blog on my links on the side? Nice to see you Pietro!
You’re right, it was me…but do not worry. I’ll avoid to include your blog in my links if you prefer I don’t do. I do not know if someone else know how to reach my blog (tanks also to the strange nick…but someone knows I use that nick). In your office the temperature is not enough high, while in mine it is the opposite. Normally it is too high and each time I go out I fell like I’m freezing. Today we finished late, doing the job of someone else also (try to find who, it’s not hard!).
Anyway, it is raining now and I’ll prefer the snow. One of my cat is on my bed, the other one is on the sofa (and I’ll struggle with him to convince him to take his medicines. I hope that monday morning you won’t call me “scarface”). And finally, I have to give medicines also to my dog, for his legs…But we have two days out and if we are lucky, we could have 50 cm of snow during the WE, meaning that on monday we’ll be forced to stay at home! Let’s cross our fingers…
Hi Pietro,
You’re most welcome here. And you can put a link on your blog if you like, I really don’t mind at all.
I didn’t realise you were in the meeting too and, yes, I know who you mean but, as I said, he is only a little man and the snow was too deep for him!
Good luck with the cat.
I don’t think you’ll get the 50 cm of snow I’m afraid. Already, here in Milan, the snow has turned to rain and the snow on the ground is starting to melt!
So, I expect, I’ll see you on Monday.
Ciao and have a good weekend
