    A fresh, crisp breeze wanders its way through the descending droplets of rain to my balcony that overlooks Milan’s uber-fashionable district of Quadrilatero della Moda. As a resident of the desert, the inclement weather is rather refreshing as I take in the views of the surrounding neoclassical buildings that are being pelted by this latest downpour. A glass of Champagne in one hand and an Armani/Dolci chocolate in the other, I believe that I have found my own definition of La Dolce Vita.

Only positive for Chelsea in that first 45 was the HT whistle. Second in every department to Newcastle. Home side's only disappointment is that they are not further away. Jackson's red was sheer madness #NEWCHE
