so on monday

This morning, will all the nerve I could muster, I phoned the head of the Cassino railway station, asking if the written authorisation had arrived so we could commence our work in the monument gardens. This time it seems that written permission is unnecessary.

She said she was sorry she was not there when we had tried to do the work at the weekend, and if we could be there Monday at 11 she would have other workers there to help with the task...
Aaah la bella Italia! Gotta love it!

Today I am grateful for patient people who speak kindly in simple Italian on the telephone.
