I have missed so much....Leo's birthday has been and gone, weekend in the hills has been and gone, yet another chest infection (not mine) has been and has almost gone, Berlusconi has been and THANK HEAVENS he has GONE!!!!!!!........and I don't know where to start trying to catch up so......let's start with tonight - this morning I left a message of Happy Thanksgiving for the lovely Lisa and I said how I loved the idea of giving thanks and I'm sorry we Brits don't have anything similar (or maybe I have just forgotten some really important day....) well, tonight we are doing just that - not exactly a real thanksgiving like they have in the US (well with a Brit, a Canadian and 2 Italians that is hardly surprising) but we are going to have all the ingredients of a Thanksgiving afternoon/evening - thanks to the Detroit Lions (and the Packers of course) - not for nothing Robert is from Windsor - just across the bridge from Detroit........

So tonight in Via Saporetti we have .........

(probably won' t be Canadian beer but I liked the photo).......

and......


and........and then we hope we will have.............

If only Thomas's sports blog was about American football rather than football football he would have a ball - in fact I think he will have a ball and I think there's a pretty good possibility he will write about it........so watch that space!
