Thursday 26th May 2011 Podere Barberino

More sun!

Coffee in town at our now favourite sports bar but apart from that a quiet day at the pool and around the villa eagerly anticipating the dinner being cooked for us by outside caterers in the evening.

Everyone makes an effort to to look almost presentable for the dinner with the ladies in particular in their finery. As his her wont Gail wants to take a photo of the whole group on auto delay and in my haste to assist with a surface on which to place the camera I lift up a small marble table to place it on the lawn only to find that I have lifted only the top- result one broken marble table top and a 66 year old guy's pride badly dented. The good news was that my artificial knee suffered no damage and most of the group thought that it was part of a well-planned ,if pathetic, comedy routine.

A superb dinner was had by all with the usual amount of imbibing taking place but for once the numbers dwindled surprisingly quickly and all were in bed at a more respectable time than had hitherto been the case. Either we are running out of steam or we are all starting to act our age.

Doug and Brenda say cheerio to everyone as they leave at 4.00 am the next day for St Petersburg and nobody seems interested in getting up to see them off.
