Good friends, good food, good wine …

Pipocas, Flor and I had an absolutely fabulous time at Tre Fratelli yesterday. In fact, it was a pretty fine day all round. Starting off with yoga class, then an hour or so later Flor came over for further computer instruction. Pip met us here and we walked over to the restaurant together.  And for the next three hours there wasn’t even the eensiest hint of dead air.

Today will be quite something else. I need to fast from about 10am and then start drinking that gawd awful strawberry-flavoured barfium snot around 4 o’clock. Then I’ll walk up to Pip’s office at 6 and we’ll head off to the hospital for my CT scan.

A couple of years previously I had been outside on a cold Winnipeg winter night trying to brush snow off the windscreen of the family car and somehow jumped up and slipped at the same time, my face smashing against the glass and breaking my front tooth.  Both front teeth have long since been filed down so the chip is less noticable now.

lost-wallet

On Tuesday, just before I was about to go out to meet Pipocas for a lunch meeting, I got a call from Nog saying that he had lost his wallet. He was between classes – actually, going from his class with Dr A to an interview with a prospective new student – and when he got to the bike station and felt for his wallet to take out his bike card … it wasn’t there! The curious thing was that he remembered having it when Dr A paid him (because he put the money in his wallet) but somewhere between there and the bike station it had disappeared. So not only was he out 75€, but his credit card had to be cancelled and his Spanish residence ID card also had to be replaced. Because there was no way he was ever going to see his wallet again, right?
