Dino learnt a new “trick” yesterday. After a long walk and playing with various other dogs in the park, he gets a little tired. On our way out of the park it is necessary to coax him with a little tugging of the lead. I can’t (and wouldn’t) just drag him along although sometimes there is a little of that, just to get him on his feet and moving.
Not entirely spent with Dino, since I am back at work.
Day eight (Monday, 26th May):
We get up 15 minutes earlier than usual (6 a.m.) as I know I will need that extra 15 minutes. I worry that 15 minutes are not enough.

Don’t misinterpret the heading. I’m not talking about the fact that the current government here is to the right of right-wing. I’m talking about conservative with a small “c”.
Hurrah! We’re back. And I say “we” meaning me and a “guest” poster. This will be revealed in the near future (but it isn’t V who, to be frank, shows little interest in the blogging thing).
There’s a weirdness about Italy that is not particularly peculiar to Italy but, in my view, the extent is peculiar.
Being brought up in the UK, no-one said much about the choice of words you used. It was all perfectly understood.
Man of Roma tagged me for this meme. It is the first time I’ve ever been tagged. I’ve noticed other people have done this sort of thing before and always wondered what it would be like and if I would do it, not being mad on the chain-letter type of thing. However, I thought I would give it a go.
