Dear Tom,
     I fear the dear professor has flown the coop! We've not heard a word since he posted his first message, above, on 05.Mar. It's now 07.May, so ...
Best,
Joey

Too bad!

He did say he would post his collection of bottles 'in the next couple of months'. So let's give it a while longer.

By the way, how do you know he is a professor? Does the 'Gr.' give you a clue?
Just curious....

No, the moniker "Profgoretzki" on his one and only post!   Grin

Dear Joey,

I don't pay any attention to those monikers. If I did, I might conclude that Giovanni's 'FiveRoosters' means he is a chicken breeder!   Wink

Dear Tom,
     Knowing how varied and interesting Giovanni's careers have been, and over how many continents, I would not be at all surprised to find out he'd been a chicken breeder at some stage. But like everything he does (and you should see the beautiful home he's restored and built, much of it with his own two hands), he would have been breeding champion birds.  Wink
Best,
Shabbat Shalom,
Joey

Whoops! Now I'm BLUSHING!  Embarrassed
When I read something, I tend to read it out loud. Hearing myself say 'BOOSH' (bush), I never connected it with 'BLAHSH' (blush), even though it is just missing one letter. And I was not looking carefully enough at the little face picture to see it was 'embarrassed'.
Sorry, Giovanni.
Thank you, YT.

But I call it as I see it. I was so impressed by the house's architectural and functional details, and the beautiful Brazilian wood, and I LOVE the mosquito net tents! I have a raw silk one in Israel, but don't know how to use it without destroying the look of my dome ceilinged room. I HATE the thought of mozzies or flies 'buzzing' me or landing on me while I sleep. Inside the tent, I knew I was safe from that. And when Giovanni and his son replaced the radiator in the son's car, I was in shock. I would barely know how to deal with calling the garage! In point of fact, I don't. If there is a problem with the jeep I drive in Ireland, the estate manager calls the garage!  Grin Roll Eyes
And I can't begin to describe the pleasure of seeing Betty and her sister in law making the pizzas and Giovanni baking them in his own home-built forno, and then eating them in the garden pergola he also built with their extended family. Wonderful.
Best to all,
Shabbat Shalom,
Joey
