Bad News

Starting off with the fireworks accident that happened in Denmark and left over 2000 people affected, is bad enough.

But add to that the train crash in the UK today, which left at least 6 people dead, and things doen't look too good at the moment.

At least Italy has managed to provide something more positive to write about today. Namely the University of Rome's new course in Mafia Studies for law students.

Well, with temperatures soaring here to the high 8 or 9 degrees (midday) and promises of snow on it's way, there's no better time to tuck yourself up in bed and hope that winter passes quickly.

Wrap up warm
