RainRainRain.
Through the night Molls suddenly leaps onto the bed and after much huffing, puffing and grunting, snuggles down between us. Fully awake we hear the thunder too.
She hates it. It rumbles all though the night and dawn breaks wet and miserable. It rains all day but fortunately we stocked up with books in Sienna and DVDs on our last supermarket trip.We watch “Avatar” and “Julie and Julia” in Italian with English subtitles in a vain attempt to improve out deteriorating language skills. We can manage to ask for most things in restaurants and shops but if anyone asks us a question were stumped. It’s hopeless. Were hopeless. Andy has a better understanding of the structure of the language but now his spoken Italian is so bad no one even knows what language he’s talking. Fortunately the English tradition of point and grunt, gets you a surprisingly long way.

Tuesday 17th August and the day dawns dull and damp here in Deanshanger. The farmers have got most of the harvest in around here, but some fields remain uncut and I think the rest of the week is not good, so that will make it difficult for them. So - you are getting in good practice!
ReplyDeleteIf your language skills are deserting you then you must really be ready to come home. I would have thought that the language would have been ingrained by now, but perhaps psychologically your minds are telling you to head home!
But just look at my gal haveing a snuggle - missing her Sauron but looking forward to doggy japes and highjinks with her Gazaa!
