Tea time!

For lucca’s evening meal I use the mat thing with holes to try and stop her wolfing down her food. I’m not sure it makes much difference but she lies and licks it for ages .

Usual Monday morning at Nero . Chatting to Graham one of the regulars who was on the seat next to me. He told me that he has lost over two stone by walking twice a day for over an hour and changing all his diet. He makes everything he eats from scratch and always tells me when I see him what he’s cooking for his meal of the day. Today he was going home to make mushroom soup - yuk I said ! He’s also bringing me a book he enjoyed so I need to find one in my collection that I can give him. That seems fair. He’s living on a small pension but he’s living well I would say.

S and I discussed the upcoming trip. We counted out Verona (and onward to the Trentino area) as it’s too hot, I just can’t get the best out of a walking holiday if it’s boiling .

We are now thinking Northern Europe!
