Florence 30 October

Spent all day at the conference. I woke up bizarrely early ahead of my alarm so I made it to the first talk even though I wasn’t particularly interested in it.

Florence 29 October

First day of the conference. I had nothing planned for the morning except girding my loins so a relaxed start to the day.

Florence 26 October

The rain seems to finally be at an end. This morning was the first time I’ve felt confident to leave their house without my umbrella.

Florence 24 October

An early start for a Zoom body corp meeting which for me was at 7 am, not helped by the fact I couldn’t get the coffee machine to work.

Bologna 22 October

Woke up early with the sound of a clock ticking, who has a ticking clock these days? In the bedroom, anyway. I eventually took the batteries out and now I keep thinking it’s 6:15 every time I glance in that direction.
