Happy 100th birthday Loris!!
This will be my last report as I start (a little prematurely) to pack up and try to get organised. Yesterday I took myself off to the big outdoor Roman market Porta Portese. God it was hot. I walked up and down what is a hugely long market and I bought myself 3 dresses all for 40 Eu so they will disintegrate fairly quickly but in the meantime they are fun. It was boiling and I walked back up to the top of the market only to find I’d left my hat behind when I was trying on dresses… so back I went. I haven’t carried that fucking hat all over the world…hardly wearing it I might add…to leave it behind in Porta Portese.
I was going to walk back through Trastevere but with sweat pouring down my back I decided I’d be likely to faint so I got on a tram. Home and under a cool shower and then in front of the fan…phew.
Nothing much more to report really so I think this will be my last email.
Really its time to come home, the party’s over and I’m just looking forward to seeing everyone.
