Only five out of seven I'm afraid. I did not use the help however. Would it have helped? I'll check it now.

I am just as bad at the quizzes over here... But I did know the dessert ;-)

I am wondering if James did his back in taking the shortcut into your apartment again!!

Siracusa
Ispica
Cassata
Impanatigghe
Lampedusa
???
Agrigento

I think the office to which you are referring has something to do with the water department and the delivery system?

Hi, jmb. You did well! Cherrypie, I don't think he's done it since! Well done, Leslie. Yes, the Water Office! Close, flutterby, but the Water Office is no 1 hate! I think that's quite good, Jams.
