Nearly, nearly done.
The cocktail cabinet is in the wrong place. And, by that I mean that we both agree that the place where I have put it is wrong. It will have to be moved and the chest of drawers that is in the hall will have to be moved to make room for it. Where the chest of drawers is to go, I have no idea!
The final bit is the final payment which will be done tonight. And then it is finished, done, complete. Phew!
F arrived home last night. PaC continues to go through good days and bad days. I asked how his mum was. He said that she seems OK but he really couldn’t tell. Sometimes, with the exception of his sister, they seem more English, with the stiff upper lip, than English people.
He should be going away to Venice at the end of the week but he’ll cancel. He should go to Greece next week but he’ll cancel. It’s all a bit uncertain.
But J comes on Thursday. And the weather is quite spring-like which seems likely to continue. I keep thinking of what to do when J is here. So, I thought maybe of going to the lakes (Lake Orta, Lake Maggiore) if the weather stays good. I had thought of taking her to Villa Litta where they have a fantastic water garden but, unfortunately, it is only open from May through to October.
But I have some ideas for a rather gentle time, strolling through Milan, etc. Nothing too strenuous. We shall see but, in any case, I’m looking forward to it. How much F will be here, of course, all depends but I’m planning that he’s away most of the time.
It is as it is. And nothing I can do will change this.
Hi Andy – and so it all unfolds as it will, should, is intended. Yes, it is as it is……..
Love Gail
peace…..
Indeed, Gail.
When my Canadian friends came to visit me a few years ago, we went to lake Orta and they loved it.
I really like that place.
It’s a small treasure.
I think it may be my favourite lake, to be honest, Lola. The town is small and pleasant. I haven’t been for a few years, so it will be nice for me too! We shall see.
