When you say those days when Murphy's Law seems to dominate every minute ...
Abstract: Rosy and I have since decided to go to Provence, about two months ago, including absences, transfers, travel we could not find a single free weekend to see us.
Finally yesterday I get up early and put myself on a coach to Catania.
Program of the day: morning at the flea market, lunch of salmon from the Swedish Ikea, Ikea, and then visit the above, complete with a break at the Cafe to discuss the details of the trip.
Now, usually in March in Sicily temperature sono non dico estive, ma sicuramente miti: alberi in fiore, il sole sulla pelle dopo mesi di freddo.. cavolo, è quasi primavera!!
E invece ieri c’era uno scenario da nubifragio.. solo due folli avrebbero potuto pensare che i commercianti avrebbero esposto i loro mobili sotto quell’acqua.. e noi lo abbiamo pensato!!
Deluse, ci avviamo all’Ikea.. e lì, seconda sorpresa: una volante della Municipale bloccava l’accesso (“ troppa gente… ” ci hanno detto). Mogie mogie facciamo rotta verso un centro commerciale vicino, dove, rimpinzate di patatine e hot brownies, finalmente riusciamo a decidere una volta per tutte il nostro itinerario provenzale:
Marseille - Arles - Les Baux de Provence - Saint-Remy - Avignon - Isle sur la Sorgue - Aix en Provence
But let's leave the lavender fields kissed by the back to the Sicilian sun and storm, not happy, we decide to try your luck at Ikea, and this time so we can overcome the barrier of the police ... only to find ourselves to make a row km long in a coil wound crowds (always under water) twice the length of the building ..
And then .. Dunno, I do not know if you've ever conceived crazy idea to go into Ikea first Sunday after the opening, but I assure you .. the scenery was really scary! In the area of \u200b\u200bexposure had not seen the furniture! Too many heads, too many arms, legs too ... too hot!
My husband almost did not want to believe it when she saw me return with only a pack of spoons as a purchase, he is accustomed to being called to download the car and Buston Buston ..
In conclusion: Tired? Definitely! Dashed: even a little '! What a satisfaction, to say, a few years " I was there .. ?!
E poi ho imparato una lezione importante: d’ora in poi, nelle mie preghiere, oltre alle vittime di stragi, cataclismi e terremoti, ricorderò anche gli impiegati Ikea in servizio il giorno delle inaugurazioni…
