Just a quick post before bed tonight to say the sun is back but it’s taken a bit of a dive temperature- wise in this part of the world. It has that ‘there’s snow in them there hills’ feel and actually I believe there is – blizzards actually!
Anyway after coffee this morning I don’t know what got into me but I decided I’s better clean my little apt. That took all of 10 mins (well, actually a bit longer). I had some lunch and then headed over to Chris’. As I said she’s away so I packed up a bit of washing and walked over there (it’s about 3 kms). I put the washing on and got myself organised to watch ‘Bidrman’. That was interesting but I’m still not sure what I thought of it. I need my buddies (Rose and Jule) to talk to to work out what I thought of it.
Then I packed up my wet washing and thought I’d walk back to my area. I went the back roads and through the ghetto which unfortunately found me on the wrong side of The Forum which in Rome means disaster because you can’t cross the Forum, you have to go around it and in this case that was massive. I was walking to punish myself for a slovenly day but I didn’t mean that much punishment!! I reckon I doubled the trip home. I wonder whether my knees really will wear out before their time!!
So to reward myself I got a gelati, came home and collapsed. I’m watching ‘Newsroom’ now so I watched 2 episodes of that. Now I’m ready for bed. The Saturday night noises and really in action outside my window. There is a very popular restaurant just on the other side of the street and it generates lots of noise. I’ve never been there because I don’t eat out at night by myself but I think it would be a place to try…maybe when Rose gets here.
Nearly finished my book ’The Bone Clock’ Rose…good one to get. Most unusual but an absorbing read.
