Preparation

It took a bit of anxiety, food and an open door to get Linette back indoors. She had been really good the last few days, coming back home every night, but last night, she refused! I don't mind so much when I've got one-day trips, but when I'm going away for eleven days (Venice, Assisi, Rome, Siena, Florence), I don't want her outside. She doesn't eat when not inside and coming back to a cat skeleton isn't my idea of fun!

The only thing left for me to do now is to close my suitcase. Which is going to be a task in itself! It's a good thing I won't be flying: it will be way too heavy...

So, I'm off to Italy! Don't despair however, I will have several posts coming out (I know how to prepost now) and if I can I will post on the trip itself.
