No sleep today- not even a quick 30 minute nap after nights-! next door is demolishing a wall or something so the noise is pretty constant, I can't complain though for as neighbours go they are the bestSo I am a bit overtired to be thinking of blogging today, but this story in the paper did make me chuckle somewhat!! I just love nuns............
Three nuns who hurried towards Pope Benedict XVI's holiday home after learning that he had suffered a minor accident were stopped by police for speeding at 120mph. Sister Tavoletta, 56, was at the wheel of the Ford Fiesta, and two other unnamed nuns, aged 65 and 78, were passengers when police pulled them over.
When stunned officers asked why they were speeding, Sister Tavoletta said: "We had heard how the Pope had fallen over and we were on our way to make sure he was OK."The nuns were stopped while an hour's drive from Pope Benedict's summer holiday chalet at Les Combes. Earlier, the pontiff had slipped in the bathroom and fractured his wrist – new which caused great consternation at the nuns' Salesian convent. The trio immediately jumped in a car to try and visit him.
A spokesman for Turin's police, said: "Hopefully Sister Tavoletta will be making sure she confesses her bad driving the next she goes to confession. But in the meantime, she will have to pay the Euros 375 fine (£325)."
That is a bit funny. What's that in American dollars? LOL
