Sloth ridden

I'm so completely lazy right now its not funny. Can barely move myself from the bed, to the TV to the computer. I like this quote, Being a writer is 3% inspiration, and 97% trying not to get distracted by the internet. So true.

I also like this Homer Simpson quote - "I'm not lying. I'm writing fiction with my mouth."

So Milan was great. Best thing - free food when you order a drink at cocktail hour in all bars. Don't you love it - cocktail hour! Especially since the "hour" actually runs from like 6-9pm. 2 out of 3 nights we didnt eat dinner because we were too full from these bar snacks. Of course no self-respecting Milanese would be caught dead stuffing their faces with bar snacks, but we were neither self-respecting or Milanese. Plus two girls always get great treatment from Italian bar men - one of them even sliced up a passionfruit and gave it to us with little silver spoons inside - aww sweeet.. if not a little curious.

Big tip - always drink at the bar. Our cappuccino cost 1.10euros standing at the bar and a whoppping 4.70euros sitting down! Whoa what a mark up! No forget that - ridiculous mark-up #2 - 8.50 euros for half a pint of beer sitting down!!! Thats one expensive city.

Best thing #2 - upgrade at hotel room. We got a business class room in this 4 star hotel - which had twin black marble sinks - loving that! Wish I could get one at home. Oh to have the luxury of your own sink. Then there were twin showers facing each other. Plus a bath with another shower. 3 showers? Thats just crazy talk.

The duomo was amazing - although love the whole Italian disregard for health and safety. There we were up on the marble roof, which was icy and wet with nothing but a little railing stopping us from tumbling downwards to a messy if not rather posh death.

So barely been back a couple of days and leaving for Dubai day after tomorrow. Dont know why I bother unpacking sometimes. Looking forward to some glorious warmth and sunshine.. aaah.
