The last 2 days have flown by. Yesterday marked by nothing unusual…swimming, eating, making the big effort to go to the supermarket so we could eat…cappuccino on the way…you know the sort of thing.
But today was another thing. Today is the first day since we’ve been here that I actually haven’t had a swim. I showered instead this morning. Given that I’m only showering every 4 days or so, that was actually a treat.
Then we set off on an expedition, firstly having coffee, of course, then into Slovenia and a little day trip to Ljubljana. I really love this town its so quaint and pretty but on the down side, as Chris says, its a bit like Disneyland. Just full of tourists…one wonders where the real people are. Still I love it, I like the little shops with their lovely ceramics etc. We went back to a cafe we’d been to last time we were there 2 years ago, its away from the tourist streets and it was lovely to sit outside with our wine and cheese.
There is a bit of a cuffufle here. Firstly a wooden door that was already really rickety kind of came off its hinge and the wood split. Chris is very anxious about this because the owner, Mariella, is very pernickety. …where are you when we need you Ang?? But then even worse, the people who were using Mariella’s house ( you know the cast of thousand – 14-) that were here, told her that the Americans were also staying. The rumour mills started grinding and Chris was getting phone calls about it which was really hard for her. We are now waiting for Mariella to arrive and Chris’ best guess is that we will have to pay more for the house. All just kind of detracts from the relaxed feeling of the place…maybe there won’t be a next year!!
Its aperativo time. Chris had a swim but I decided that I’d miss out today in the interests of comfort and not getting wet and salty at 7pm.
Tomorrow will be a stay at home day so it will be back to flopping in and out of the water. Thursday we’ll go on another adventure, then Friday will be clean up day (+ flopping in and out of the water), then Saturday its back to Rome. One day in Rome and then I have my last solo adventure down to Lecce. My head is already taking me home.
Thats it for now my darlings one and all.
