POPE-POURRI: 'Light' news items, anecdotes about Pope Benedict now

Good morning everyone! Monday morning in England - wish I could be roaming about in the Vatican this morning.........
Thanks for the information about Papa's apartment and routine. Interesting though the 3D model is, I feel it's not giving all the details. For example - is there only one bathroom and that one leading from Papa's bedroom?
Good to know that, the day he had a dental appointment, he didn't have to go outside the Vatican to visit his dentist. What an excellent idea to have dental equipment in his apartment! And, so relieved also that it's fully equipped for a medical emergency..........though, please God, that doesn't happen.Papa deserves all of these things - he works hard enough for it.
I'm going out to buy a small Pooh Bear watch,so that I can have it on Rome time. Only an hour ahead of GMT, I know, but I'd still like it - and it's an excuse for an old lady to buy a child's watch!!!!!
Hey, girls, have you seen the absolutely STUNC photos on the Cardinal thread upstairs on the main Italian forum? If not, hang on to your chair before going there or you'll go straight into orbit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace and Choy to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mary x
Keep on Gregorian Chanting!!!!!
PAPA I LOVE YOU!
