I was telling The Old Girl about my trip to Wellington and staying with Richard and Shelley enjoying their wonderful hospitality. Thanks guys.
Sometimes things get a bit chaotic in Casa Testore and here's an excerpt from our conversation:
............................
THE CURMUDGEON: ..... so Shelley as you know works in the Library business and was teaching Richard how to access OVERDRIVE on his phone.
THE OLD GIRL: OVERDRIVE? You mean LIBBY?
THE CURMUDGEON: No, OVERDRIVE. LIBBY would be a bit too complicated for him.
THE OLD GIRL: Right. So how did it go?
THE CURMUDGEON: Have you ever seen an Abbot and Costello film? You know, the 'Who's on first routine?
THE OLD GIRL: OK, that bad huh?
THE CURMUDGEON: Diabolical. Shelley was explaining to him how to set up an account using his library card number. You'd think that'd be easy but ....
THE OLD GIRL: Why? You just put in the number, search for a book, go to filter to enter audio or reading, enter the language .....
THE CURMUDGEON: ....I'll stop you right there.
THE OLD GIRL: Why?
THE CURMUDGEON: He wants everything to be in Italian.
THE OLD GIRL: Italian. Why?
THE CURMUDGEON: I told you, he's nuts.

It's not so nuts if you're in Italia.
True. Then it'd be noccioline.
