Ciao, Olivia here

34
Working remotely for CBC from a small village outside of Rome suits me perfectly but it does present its own unique problems. Our postal service can be a little unreliable at times. However, using my best PR skills, I have chatted up the postman. I now seem to be the only one in my part of Italy with a regular postal service.

My neighbour, feeling very jealous, asked me how I do it. I told her it was the power of PR... and she grinned and made one of those very Italian gestures with her hand meaning "Perfect", Perfetto!*

When I told Mandy and the Team about my success with the postman, Mandy said "Good for you, it shows that PR works then......!" :-)

*And by the way, for those interested in getting prepared for your summer holidays in Italy, there are some wonderful sites for learning to speak Italian with your hands, and get around the whole talking business altogether... :-)
