Since I last wrote, I spent a couple of days in Rome with my dearest friend and brother-in- law John and then flew to London Gatwick.
I’m hanging out with a gorgeous family friend Tammy, and her “handsome” Gordon, in her little pad.
In Rome I stayed in Fascist EUR at the Shangri La Corsetti with John. The best thing about staying there was the abundant breakfast which John and I lingered over while solving the world’s and everyone’s else’s problems. The highlights were a pistachio and cream gelato, going to Mr Beaver (latest Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson movie) at the Italian movies sans sub titles (well done John), reading in the very quirky Ristorante Canona Tadolini on Via del Babuino while John sketched, Prosecco at John’s enoteca and going to a performance of the best Arias at the Anglican Church on Via Babuino with the best acoustics in Rome on our last night and then walking back to Termini station.
The low lights were waiting in the queue at the Post Office EUR trying to send some excess luggage back to Perth, having computer problems and the very low mood which enveloped me, which I think was a combination of homesickness (where is home anyway?), feeling trapped by all the “technical” problems related to staying in touch with family and friends and dealing with the “flip side” of living for such a long period out of a suitcase when you are on your own.
So, I have decided to sign off for a while, and focus on what this year was supposed to be all about….
A presto
