New addition to the family.

As of last night our little household has a new addition in the form of an almost 3 month old Manchester Terrier puppy (Standard, not toy variety) .  His name is Atman – which we did not choose, but apparently means something deep and spiritual and is of Hindu origin.  The word Atman means ‘self’ according to the www.  Our little one, who is delighted with his new chum, calls the pup Atma and gets very cross when I call the wee dog Batman!  Naughty me!

I’ll add one or two photos shortly.

One is Niccolò Ghedini and the other is Piero Longo, and both are members of Berlusconi’s party and are serving parliamentarians.
