Re: Camila - from Jenn-back to Jen

[Guest guest]

Sorry all, if I worried you with Canola being hazardous. I just read

the article quickly, and found it being so negative that I didn't

even take it seriously. But now when I go back, it says it's a romur

that has been identified as false, maybe to harm the Canoil company?

You can read it on

http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blcanola.htm.

This site is much more informative:

Anyway, I will continue with rape seed oil.

About Italy, Jen!

We live outside Modena in Emilia Romagna, in the middle of the aceto

balsamico (balsam vinegar) and parmesan region. We live here since

April, less than 1/2 year. My husband has an expat contract for at

least 2 years, maximum 5 years. I have been degraded from a design

engineer to a houswife during this period of time. But I'm not

complaining, it is better than I expected. Here are lots of foreign

housewifes to have coffe mornings and girls' dinners with. And I

take italian lessons twice a week. The best thing though, is that I

have come closer to Victor, our son, since we spend so much time

together now. He goes in Reception class at an international school

and has started to speak english. This week he has learnt to read

his first word " sat " . With difficulties to pronounce " s " of course,

but he is trying hard.

We still have contact with doctors, dietitian etc. in Sweden,

because I think it's to much struggle to change (not mentioning the

language barrier!), just to change back again after a couple of

years. And we were just about to start with GH when we moved and

didn't want to disturbe that process. But, as I wrote in one of the

messages, we haven't started yet!

I bet you had a wonderful trip in Italy? Is it your first return to

Italy after you fell in love? Next time you plan to come, let me

know!

I have got in contact with a family outside Rome with a RSS boy in

the same age as Victor. I hope we will be able to meet them this

autumn.

I'm sorry if I messed it up with the Canola oil, I was to quick to

send out that message...
