Sunday/Monday the 23rdI think I lost a day somewhere in this grand vacation. I think I arrived on Sunday and just had no clue, because as I recall, Monday was a day of rest. Mom and I were both exhausted, and I slept until about noon. After waking, I took some pictures around the house of my pets and then set about going through them on mom's computer.
That evening, we went out for pizza, and saw a lovely presepio at a favored restaurant of mom's. The pizza? As I recall it had mushrooms, gorgonzola and speck. Speck is pretty much prosciutto smoked, but uncooked with the rest of the pizza. The pizza was delicious, though the mushrooms were obviously from a can. And I had my first glimpse of some cute Italian waitresses.
We went home that evening and watched a VHS of "Brother Cadfel", a British mystery TV show based in medieval England. It features a monk played by Derek Jacobi of I, Claudius and Gladiator fame. I was not looking forward to it, but mom was right. It really drew me in. Great show. I'd love to see some more episodes.
When it ended, I went off to bed. I continued reading "The Two Towers" until Coco came up and started nudging me to pet her. So I gave her a little kitty massage, all the while pulling out clumps of hair. Ugh. I stopped and turned out the light. But she continued to nudge my hand into her cold, wet nose. So I stroked her some more, turned over and fell asleep.
