Thursday 17th August Trieste

Just a quickie today, maybe I won’t even post it. This morning was swimming and sitting around on our rocks. And talking to my dear family which always fills me with pleasure. Then Chris had booked at the Mussel Restaurant we go to each year. So again it was sitting by the water eating seafood. Crumbed mussels with mayo to start with then either mussel and clam pasta (Chris) or Orata fish (me). With the obligatory white wine to wash it down. But the restaurant itself had gone downhill. It didn’t serve our favourites and the service was wanting. Oh well. Then we had to Supermarket on the way home. Then walking down to the house ( 5 bottles of wine on my back) where the sun blazes down on you and once you’re out of the sun the mozzies lie in wait and devastate you. You get to the house in a lather of sweat and it’s all you can do to get your bathers on over your profusely sweating body (I think this is my problem). Down to the water, quickly, quickly. Tide’s out so more rock balancing but into the water you go…aaaahhh…the world is set to right. It’s all OK. I have grown up loving the water and nothing gives me more pleasure.

Dinner tonight is the cheeses we bought yesterday with salad. Should be delicious and probably much more enjoyable than trying to stuff them in yesterday
