23 December
On the Fourth Day of Christmas
We are here in Italy
Four stockings readied
Three lots of shopping
Two people cleaning
And the house was only one degree
Our good friends G and J arrived from Holland this afternoon to share one of their precious Christmases with us here in Italy. We enjoyed fantastic hospitality at our good friends Gigio and Catia who run Da Gustin in Bargni and had gorgeous food and drink on the square outside their restaurant, and were treated to the annual event of Catia doing karaoke.
A late supper at home and a nightcap or two, sent us all on our way to bed.
As I mentioned in my post Running From Reality – 14 December , my dad suffers from Alzheimer’s and so I thought I would sign up for many challenges, virtual runs and real runs in aid of Alzheimer’s throughout 2018. My efforts start now – albeit with some administration if not actual running, I am signing up for the Park Run Running Down Dementia campaign in 2018. I am pre-registered for the 2018 challenge and if you want to register too, here is the link.
