The bum gun is a good alternative, especially when you’re short on space. Plus some bidets are ridiculously low to the ground! My aged knees don’t like it!

😆 well… I think my new toilet is low. It’s either that or I need a stool 😉

😆 When I remodel my bathrooms here in New York, I am going to get the “throne” WITH the built-in bidet!

Si, si!! Non ho una vista ma il mio cortile mi rende molto felice ☺️ Of course I have several moka pots of different sizes and I have the sweetest handmade ceramic espresso cups- made here in Selinunte! ☕️

The Sicilian version of "A Year in Provence". I love the stories - and as a serial remodeler, love to see the progress. Please keep the updates coming. I am invested now!

What a grand adventure, Jan. And a beautiful, brave act of creation, to make a home for yourself in a place that sings to you! 💛

Wow so many accomplishments. We are going to Sicily for the first time at the end of April. I hope we don’t buy a house. But I love hearing about yours!

Really?? Where will you be and for how long?? If you come by Selinunte, PLEASE let me know! It would be lovely to meet, if even just for a coffee. Oh, I’m excited for you! Can’t wait to hear about your adventure.

I don’t think there’s much chance of you falling for a house. 😉 You still have a great country to return to and not running away from a demented dimwitted orange-haired monster.
