The last couple of days have been quiet since Venice and have involved dropping Aurora off at nursery with Alessio, and then picking her up at 4, bringing her home and spending some time playing and dancing before tea and bed.
Yesterday afternoon we cycled to the butchers to buy some meat for lunch; a huge array of not only meats but also dishes such as lasagne were laid out in front of us.
After picking up Aurora we all took a trip to IKEA where Aurora played and we joined in. I was nackered by the time we got home and was grateful when Greta suggested takeaway pizza for tea! It was huge and delicious, if slightly different toppings-wise to English pizza, and I ate the whole thing.
Today Alessio drove me to a small town called Aquileia where I got to be a tourist and snap some photos of Roman ruins. We had a look inside another church and then did a short walk with views of the mountains and grape and corn fields. The sun came out and it was lovely.
Friday today so off we went to the grandparents for tea, once again with a wonderful array of traditional Italian dishes; pasta with pesto and olives, tomatoes and mozzarella, meatballs and peppers, and a dish likened to lasagne but made with three different types of cheese, it was delicious.
