Just a very quick note in lieu of a proper post last week (and this week!) – for those who follow my goings-on via this blog, you may not have heard that last weekend I tried crossing the road the same time a car was coming through.

I’m absolutely fine – everything happened quite slowly it seems and I bounced pretty well – but it does mean I’ve spent the past few days focusing on discovering the ins and outs of the Italian medical system. Which will make a great blog post eventually, but probably not until next weekend.

(In the meantime, I can’t help but leave the teaser that some of my friends found me at the hospital by asking for ‘the Australian’, to which the staff replied, ‘you mean the one who’s been vomiting the whole time?’ I guess this counts as maintaining the reputation of Aussies abroad.)
