This is one of the ads for Irn Bru, the official Scottish soda (kind of ginger) that every pure Scot loves and mixes with almost any alcohol available. Now, my child will be born in Scotland…

Me and Zdenka will be blessed with a little one pretty soon: there will be extra Petracci in this crazy world before the end of the year… Live pictures will come soon  Ops, sorry for the non-Italian speakers. Actually, sorry for the non-Neapolitan speakers,  but this is a parody of the angel Gabriel announcing a baby to… the wrong Mary

2100 mt. of rock, gently covered by snow and pine trees, and us on top cheering to the new year 2008!
All this thanks to Aldo and Lara, and the pictures of us skiing, cheering and having fun are at the usual place: in the gallery!

Where does it comes from? How do they make it? Where does it go? What is it for? and, last but not least, do I really need it?

Anyway, for more information on the topic, please play the following:

And here we are! The Highlands are cold and rainy and sunny and stormy and hot and humid all in the same day, the people are extremely friendly, although nobody speaks english , the food is fantastic (!!!), and we are (finally) in a vibrant full-size city!
Ah, so many new things to learn! From where to do groceries to how to take a bus, everything is a challenge… at the same time, an entire culture and lots of place to discover, plus so many opportunities to catch (the whiskey trail and the golf training course are on my wish list).

My new job started a week ago, at a pace I didn’t know it was possible… but it’s thrilling to be part of a big company and to work on their projects. Moreover, all my colleagues are so passionate in what they’re doing… fantastic!

We are living in a temporary accommodation, a studio/hotel room just in front of the harbor (which is in the center of the city!). This is the view from our windows:
