Nor me. Taking the piss occasionally yes :-)

You show more interest in the subject than I do. Don't be timid make
known your true feelings to Magda. Make Magda very happy. May you both
live happily ever after. I love a happy ending.

It's not too late to book a Vatican honeymoon package, a free papal
blessing is included.

He isn't going to consummate it alone. Maybe I am wrong :-)

Italy is a large country. Southern Italy has similar winters to
southern Spain. Northern Spain can be very cold.

I didn't know you could eat outside the Vatican, I wouldn't have done
even if I had known.

Assuming you're not the Pope, you must be pretty hungry by now.

I wouldn't call Italy a large country, maybe a long one, but
true, the south is warmer than the north!
Northern Spain winters are no colder than southern Italy.
Mountains aside, it hardly ever goes below 0C, La Coruna has
recorded 27C 81F in February!
Naples and Palermo winter lows are 4-8C while Santander and La
Coruna are 7-8C, its interesting that northern Spain is as warm
as southern Italy. Andalucias winter lows are much the same.

On the meseta inland it can go down to -10 however. Barbara
Vaghan can tell you all about Avila!
