Take care of yourself...

I've been trying to form some good lifestyle habits - nothing major, like training for a marathon, but the little day to day things that lead to a more active, healthy life. What are other babblers doing? Any tips? Successes? Obstacles?

Renzo turns 20!

Yes, a starving stray tomkitten who adopted me will turn 20 this week. We don't know the exact date, as he was a stray, but the vet forthrightly stated how many weeks old he was, way back then. Teef and other signs.

We usually celebrate it on the 18th, between St. Pat's and St. Joe's (San Giuseppe). But basically, he gets some sardines...

colleague strung out, missing...

lagatta — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 00:36:14 +0000

One of our people at the tenants' association is a fellow who had been homeless, and managed to get his life back together to some extent. He had been working on a programme at the association, and was a very good, dedicated and conscientious worker, spearheading events such as our year's end holiday party and local debates.

Sadly, he just disappeared, and a friend found him, strung out on drugs and drink, completely out of it, and now he is disappeared entirely, not at his little apartment or anywhere he frequents. I don't know if anyone has gone to the police; that would be the role of the permanent staffers and I won't interfere.

It is really hard to know what to do, and of course we are worried.
