Well, yesterday was a total waste of makeup.
Good Morning to Sunday...25th, 7.07, 12.0dg, forecasting some high broken cloud clearing to sun. As it is a Sunday it should be a chill out day, so far so good. F1 GP from Monaco this afternoon and stupidly I have also agreed to a tuition... exam cramming!! Yesterday was an extreme day. How crazy is the human mind.. alarm set for orderly wake up at 3.15, good time for leisurely coffee and yoghurt then shower. 2am lying in bed wide awake. Cancel alarm and get up after giving up. Jeez that was a long day for what ??? Pick up at 4.20, punctual, and collect others then off we go. Bus stopped in Bellinzona for breakfast and you know whats. In Milan by 10.00. Five women, one who knows Milan like the back of her hand. Plans sorted over breakfast stop and so we head off with strict instructions from the bus driver he is leaving at 17.00 punctually. No questions!! Problem is when you get into the shops and are given a time frame it becomes impossible to shop.. really. 30 mins in a three level clothing shop.. I ask you !!! I so do not do shopping under time pressure. Upshot was nothing tried on or purchased. Fab aperitivo before we headed off to lunch.. you have to admire the way Italians socialise. When you drink, you eat.. I was brought up in the same school. The nibbles they offer when you stand at bar with your glass of bubbles is quite something. It is a pity the rest of the world do not adopt the same idea. Lunch had at a lovely outdoor restaurant just off the main area in brilliant sunshine and very warm temps. Sadly will not go back there. The others enjoyed theirs. A little outlet shopping but nothing to fit or please me.. must mean my wardrobes are full. :0 I was in search of a stunner for the wedding in NZ in August, but nothing tickled my fancy. So, no clothes, no shoes.. not a single pair, no bag... nix!!! Back to pick up point with 5 mins up our sleeves, and ready to do the return journey. Leg up on the seat next to me so all was well in my little space. Home and into much needed bed by 10.30. Hard core day. Again you ask? No Never.
