Tuesday is yoga class, shopping at the farmer’s market, and Jim’s arrival.
Since I’ll be busy most of the day tomorrow, I’ll begin tonight (Monday).
Great day today! I have to be away from the apartment September 4 to 11 (it was previously rented for that week) and today made reservations at a lodge/spa about 20 miles from here – on the ocean! Check it out at www.inchydoneyisland.com for a web treat! And, eat your hearts out! It is absolutely amazing how everything that I can dream up is coming to fruition with no problems! Alana mentioned the place as one where her friend liked the hot stone massages – and that’s all it took for me to buy into it.
Trying another new thing for supper tonight from a deli – by the way the bread I bought at the Farmer’s Market last Tuesday is ciabatta – saw it in the Super-Valu today with the name on the wrapper. Tonight, it’s chicken and mushroom vol au vent. I have no idea what that means – I guess it’s French and all I studied in school was Latin – anyhow kind of looks like a cream-puff pastry stuffed with chicken, mushrooms, and something green – scallions maybe. What an education I’m getting food-wise – and so far I haven’t cooked anything except green tea and boiled eggs! I just wander into one of the many shops and pick something I’ve never eaten before and bring it home with me.
More tomorrow if I have time.
8:00 – It’s tomorrow – Tuesday – so a quick fun thing to report from last evening. The priest at St. Multose closes the door to the church each evening about 6:00 – otherwise it’s open all day – I love that! – and last evening I happened to be looking out the window when he arrived on the sleekest motorcycle I’ve ever seen! Calmly got off, walked up to the door and closed it and returned to the street and rode off on his beautiful machine! Now I believe he must lock the gate also since a tourist is sticking his camera between the bars of the gate to get a picture – yep even at this hour they are out and about although generally people don’t begin to wander till around 11:00 except those going to work and most places don’t open till 10:00.
