Hands up a default in photos.
Just slipped on my bottom on the same spot I’ve told people to watch. I’ve slipped every darn time.
Not seen Mildred and C in a bit. Go and swim to see they are okay. They are exploring.
Biscuits taste better melted by the sun.
Missed the train. So went to go get a ring I wanted. Felt like a sign.
Italian water very salty.
Can’t find bug spray. Very annoying. Think I’ve been bitten on my face. That or a spot.
Searching for I’s apartment to have some risotto and aperol. Walk through what feels like a dodgy tunnel. Wearing my favourite new jumpsuit.
I pours the aperol. I size servings. What a girl.
My cooking dipmloma bites me in the bottom and I’m left to chop the peppers.
I actually don’t mind. Love cooking. I totally took control let’s be honest. Mildred the best sous chef. Dream team. Aperol and goggles are make cooking the onion easier. Italian onions are stingy. Despite limited resources, Mildred and I serve up a cracking garlic mushroom, red pepper and Parmesan risotto. We use up R and Is spinach. Why are spinach bags always so big.
We keep forgetting we are here for a month. It’s like day 4 or something. We’ve been so go go go.
This has been my favourite night so far. Cooking. Chatting. Drinks are flowing.
You really get the feel of the place staying in an Italian house. This is why I like air b&b.
Others need sprite for the €1 wine. I quite like it on its own.
We all have different opinion on things but are really respectful- it’s lovely.
Favourite night so far. Sad to leave I and R but very glad to have met R.
I thought I walked fast. Mildred and C walk VERY fast back to the apartment.
Train to Verona at 8am tomorrow woo.
We are so tired we are trying to walk into any building possible in the hope it’s an air b&b. Still managing to have normal and surprising intellectual converstations.
I even get the lift and that shows how tired I am.
I keep saying ‘my dear.’
Confused why our wash stopped. It as the key card was taken out, the electricity stops. Italy is so good with these environmental hacks and I love it.
Not wearing make up makes going to bed so much easier.
The washing machine sounds like it’s about to take off.
Mildred joins us in bed to tell us about the love island highlights and ends out little La Spezia night time routine.
We go and hang the washing outside its 00:40. Remember it’s meant to rain tomorrow. Ffs. Washing inside. Using chairs as a close horse.
Jameela Jamil has a really good viewpoint on make up and photoshop.
Night.
Morning- note to self : don’t scratch bites and stay up late reading articles about phoebe waller bridge so you only get 3 hours sleep.
