I had the pleasure of removing Gemmola’s stitches this afternoon. I’ll try to upload the video of the event for those who are interested. It closed up quite well.
We’re in the seaside square of Lipari. The local youths were so bored by the Australia vs Ghana match (the cafe next to us didn’t bother turning their TV on and instead spent the game adjusting and readjusting a shiny new Italian flag, for tomorrow’s Italy game) that they started up their own, very serious game, in the square. Up the other side of the square a traditional wedding is going on and the newlyweds are leaving the church down a green carpet as rice is showered upon them.
The highlight of the Australia vs Ghana match was the Italian commentary. Listening to them pronounce ‘Chipperfield’ was nearly as priceless as one commentator likening the appearance of the Australian player Kennedy to Jesus.
Lipari – a beautiful place for a wedding;
A previously unreleased photo of the freshly-stitched toe; 
The same toe, eight days later, just before I had the pleasure of removing the stitches (video to be uploaded to the videos page soon!)
