What should I say here? What can I say here? Had a dream...CENSORSHIP...CENSORSHIP...CENSORSHIP...

In the morning I play soccer with Illungo at the pool! For the first time in about 20 years! What a day! And also the world premiere of the combined soccer-water polo-volleyball game.

After the rest and relaxation phase by the pool, I actually expect a good snack from the master chef. A portion of pasta, or something like that. But he disappears into the bedroom with Bettina! That tells me everything!

I have a small snack and then sit in the car to listen to the new CD and not to disturb the happiness of the two of them.

Then I'll have a small portion of pasta.

Then we head towards Castelnuovo - buying wine at Badia is really cool. But we have now realised that learning Italian is going to be a long-term project, unfortunately. I do understand a lot of what old Nanni says, but he doesn't understand me.

In the evening there is an excellent masterpiece by the chef Il-magnifico-Lungo. The food is absolutely outstanding!! And the cheap wine from Badia is also excellent. Will I dream again tonight? Buona notte!
