Unfortunate incident

I was not sure I wanted to write about this as it was not exactly a highlight in the doing up of this wonderful house, but it is still part and parcel of my experience. I have decided to just provide the link to what has been reported today in the local newspaper. What I would like to add is that the number of hours dedicated to removing the damage has been rather cathartic and I feel much better for it.

Sona si Latine loqueris

The Pietra Santa marble with the latin inscription UBI DUBIUM IBI LIBERTAS has just been fitted above the doors to the garden roof yesterday. I wonder whether the inscription is visible from the Domenicans across the street. The Domenicans were the ones assigned to be inquisitors for the Vatican, the ones that policed the faith and who convicted heretics. Vescere bracis meis, Domenicans.
