Italian phrase of the day: Ho un nuovo giocattolo

Graffiti with Italian flag

Ho un nuovo giocattolo
I have a new toy
Literally: '(I) have a new toy'.

Last Friday Dr B. received a substantial bonus at work and decided to change his plans and go crazy for my birthday present.

As a consequence, I am now the happy owner of an iPod Touch 32GB. No, make that the very happy owner. And now please excuse me just one minute while I go and stroke its shiny black surface again.

Not only that, but he made me a birthday dinner, and got me a bottle of Bollinger champagne and a box of Charbonnel & Walker truffles, the most expensive chocolate he has ever bought (and the best I've ever eaten).

Out of the three flavours in the box (Marc de Champagne, Bucks Fizz and Pink Marc de Champagne), the plain chocolate one were definitely the best.

After all this pampering, even if I get just a half-asleep "Good morning" while getting ready for work on Valentine's day I'll still consider myself a very lucky man.

Sono un uomo molto fortunato.
I am a very lucky man.
Literally: '(I) am a man very lucky'.

    I do believe I've had one of those chocolates, can't recall which one but I do remember it being deliciously smooth and sumptuous.

    Ohh and Happy Birthday.. ahem.
