Friday 18th August Trieste
At the house all day. The early morning swims are the best. We have the place to ourselves until around 11am and that is the time I love the best. The people next door are back, with a vengeance. They arrive in droves before lunch and take over our perch. So I retreat to the balcony of the house and watch the world from above. Enjoying the view and all the goings on.
Saturday 19th Aug Trieste
Same morning as yesterday, lovely long swims and quiet time on our rock. But today Chris had booked at our favourite restaurant in Trieste. Nero di Seppia. So up, up, up we went for fancy lunch in the city! SO delicious. Fabulous seafood and the best deserts ever. A nice bottle of wine and we were more than satisfied. It was a hot, hot day so by the time we got back down to the house we were bathed in sweat. The neighbours had totally taken over our rock with over 10 gorgeous (but annoying) Italian bodies, and more arriving all the time by land and sea. So I had a cold shower and stayed up at the house. No desire for any dinner so a very quiet afternoon.
Sunday 20th Aug Trieste
Didn’t leave the house again today and exactly the same, lovely swims and peace in the morning. Avoiding the Bold and the Beautiful in the afternoon.
