Monday 30th August
Day 131
I have been drenched in Ancient Rome today, deep in a novel by Helen Dunmore called 'Counting the Stars'. Her words accompanied my plate of sliced plums in bed this morning. She distracted me from my beetroot splashed salad under our sun umbrella in the garden and absorbed me while I ate scrambled eggs from a tray on my lap this evening.
Just when I thought summer had flown away it sneaked back and gave me the gift of a Roman holiday under a flawless blue sky. And the surprise of sunburnt knees.
