I enjoy nice shirts
..... I do have one that does look like jammies. It's a "John Lennon" collection. Probably inspired by a "sleep in" that he held in Montreal, MANY moons ago.I've just returned home from a week in Venice, Italy...... Lotsa nice shirts there, but out of my price range. Besides, I've got that SOB and Scrapi to Pay for

It's a beautiful, surreal place. No noise at night while you sleep, no cars. Love the history. You've got to see Saint Marc square. The food and drinking are both great.... Menu becomes redundant but the quality is :thumbup:
Be careful if you go with the better half. Venice is a humongous shopping mall!!
I can't believe that people live so close to water all the time.... To me electricity and water simply do not mix...
....take a look at the water level. Look how close it is to that living room window in the second pic...
Floodings are not rare here.
This is one reason I'm so glad Lennox shipped express and didn't take his tine doing so. This trip was a last minute thing and I didn't want my knives sitting at the post office... Or worst, getting shipped back.... Got them just before me shipping out:thumbup:

No basements.... The city was build on marshland. It just grew to the point where buildings are actually over/ into water. The huge wooden "stakes " ( can't find a better word), used to make the foundations, were set so tightly together as to prevent air from rotting the wood.
Amazing, really. Buildings do actually "flex" to allow for the forces of the water... The Doge palace in St Marc Square has got a room that I've calculated to be about 80 yards in length by 40 yards in width ( I paced the distances but I'm sure the numbers are out there )... The ceiling is at least 25 feet high. That's just one room.... The entire thing moves in order not to crumble.
You find similar principles at work in high rise buildings...
