It was supposed to rain all day and in the morning when we woke up it was coming down hard. Here‘s the view outside out kitchen window:
I had slept better than expected. Sharing a bed and a blanket with my husband was certainly unusual. He is not a peaceful or quiet sleeper and was not feeling all that well. Breakfast was tea and cookies:
So we spent most of the day in the apartment. Around 11 we left and were very happy to see that the rain had stopped. We wandered around with a vague plan of seeing Castelvecchio and the river, go to the supermarket again and find a place to eat lunch.
(Sorry, no alt text again. I‘m pressed for time and blogging from my tablet makes it harder.)
The restaurant we eventually chose was not the one where you can eat a main dish for 240 Euros but instead one with a two-course meal for 15 Euros that was full of Italian-speaking people on their lunch break. We had mezze manche con ragù:
And pork cutlets with fries as a main course:
The main course was a bit dry, some sort of sauce or salad would have been a good idea. Then we went to the supermarket and back to the apartment. By then my feet were rather painful but my husband was feeling much better.
We spent the rest of the day in the apartment recuperating, ate focaccia from the supermarket for dinner (not the best meal I‘ve ever had but definitely not the worst either), I took a shower and did some exercises for my feet and we watched the „Salt“-episode of „Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat“.
Then I started writing this post, did Duolingo, read a bit and went to bed. I started another Margery Allingham novel, „Death of a Ghost“. I‘m still a bit unsure about this one. In the morning I reread the beginning of Dorothy L. Sayers‘ „Whose Body“ and found the pacing and humor so much easier to get. It might be because I‘ve read all the Lord Peter Whimsey novels several times and am so used to them but I don‘t think so.
So, lots of new experiences happening.
