Exit Poll

Wow 40° C. That's hot! Today in York the temperature was 12° C in the early morning and 22° C in the warmest part of the afternoon. It rained again....of course. I went downstairs this morning to make breakfast, felt cooler than usual and realised that I had left the back door wide open all night....

I feel a bit sorry for Graham Poll; how embarrasing to make such a terrible mistake in front of so many people (30 million??).

Good luck with the preparation for your trip tomorrow Antonio. Some 'travel' language for you... Instead of saying 'I'm going to prepare my luggage' you could say, 'I'm going to start packing'. Or, 'I'm going to pack (my bag/suitcase)'. You say that you are 'setting off' from Sant'Arsenio in the morning, this sounds good and is less formal than 'departing'. 'Come back in Turin' would be better as, 'go back to Turin', or (more formal) 'return to Turin'. '10 hours to arrive there' would be better as, '10 hours to get there', or 'arriving after 10 hours'.

Have a good trip. I look forward to reading your travel diary!
