There is an Italian expression apparently; "Ottobrate Romane", meaning that Rome's beauty comes out in full in October. I second that, judging by the clean rain-washed streets and the crisp air this morning. It's also very warm and sunny today, as in shouldn't-have-worn-trousers-to-work-weather (not as in half nude though). Sorry I'm a bit silly here from the regular lunch sunstroke.
On a completely different note altogether I had my hair cut this weekend. The linguistic exchange between myself and the hairdresser was.. not optimal. So I ended up with really really short hair. I look like a corporate GI Jane and it's making me feel really self-conscious. My only comfort is the firm belief that things can only get better.
Yesterday I survived my first bike ride in Rome. Two workmates and I braved the traffic on bikes in order to eat some purportedly fine pizza. The ride was nice, the evening was pleasant. The pizza? Not spectacular.
Ciao yall!

That reminds me of an Audrey Hepburn movie I watched recently. I think it was the one where she is a princess incognito and gets her hair cut really short by sign language with the barber.

I know! That's why we say "Ciao principesa" to each other alll the time! No seriously though, I've sent lots of postcards with Audrey on the front, she's so beautiful..
