Well, finally, I’m on my way! Yessssssss!
I met my first student yesterday. Very sweet and, I think, it will be a lot of fun. Then, I was telling FfI and it might be that she can put some work my way, which would be very cool.
And I did some things I have been putting off; tidying stuff in the house and sorting some things, so I feel like I really did something this weekend, which also makes me happy.
Now, tonight, I must start digging out the stuff I need to teach English and start doing the photocopies and stuff.
Saturday night, we went to a ‘new’ restaurant – Piero & Pia. We sat outside as it was warm but with a nice breeze. I had goose liver pate with some warm, sweet bread, followed by rack of lamb (and for once, here, in Italy, it was cooked right – pink) with roasted potatoes and then a thick, creamy rice pudding with a sprinkling of sultanas and a light dusting of coconut for sweet. It was all delicious. With wine and water it was something around €50 per head. Not outrageous but not cheap either!
The only problem was at the end. F insisted on paying for it all. It’s just that I really can’t afford it right now but I’m annoyed at myself for being in a position where we can’t go ‘dutch’. This is one of the reasons for going back to English teaching. It will just give me the spending money I need and, hopefully, will just give me that bit extra for our holidays. I know F can afford it (the occasional meal, etc.) but that’s not really the point.
Ah, well – soon it will be different
Good for you Andy!

It must be great to be a student of yours.
I would love it
Thank you, Lola. My last lot of students were at the place I work now – they persuaded me to give them my CV so that they could ‘propose me’ to the Managing Director – and I am still there, nearly 4 years later![:-)](http://thesmediolanumlif.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I guess that means I wasn’t such a bad English teacher – given that they all wanted me to join them!
