First full day of the next 4 months and creating a life in Lucca. Still fumbling a bit but getting there. Up this morning and off for the mandatory coffee. Then a bit of shopping to ensure a weekend supply of food (always central to my existence). Then back home and a cheering 3-way phone between Aust., London and Lucca. That was really nice….I feel connected!! Also talk of my next treats with Ang, Kirst, Ham and Ariane makes me happy!!
My great frustration today has been my efforts to transfer photos via iCloud or Dropbox. I have made multiple attempts and have a mess on my hands with no idea how to work my way out of it. iCloud has charged me for more space and then has said it’s full and I can’t share. then I don’t know how to delete what they have gone and put in there that I don’t want. I’ve tried ‘HELP’, done what they said to no avail. So went out and walked around the wall. It’s a fairly (5 km) solid walk by the time you get to the wall and back so that is good and hopefully will be undertaken every day. It’s drizzling a bit but nothing to worry too much about.
I then followed Rose’s instructions just as if she were here and I went to a little bar that serves a pasta for lunch. I sat there with a wine and a Ravioli with butter and sage…nice. Then I headed home. Had another try at the fucking iCloud with ideas I came up with as I walked but its a horrible mess I’m afraid. I want to delete and start again but it won’t let me!!!
I’ve been at home this afternoon, having a bit of a read, doing some cooking up of asparagus and spinach to have some green with my meal and generally doing not too much. As discussed this morning, I’m allocating this weekend to just get myself back on the up and up.
