Day 31:

She's free!  She's free!  The child is out of quarantine.  She spent the day on the back terrace and is brown as a nut. 

Easter weekend is here and Italy is in mourning.  Not only for all of the victims of the virus but for the loss of their favorite holiday.  Easter is as big here as Christmas with a family lunch and giant chocolate eggs.  Monday is Pasquetta, or "Little Easter", and traditionally families go for picnics or spend the day at a beach.  Alas not this year.  We'll all be home with our respective families, lucky if we are together and healthy.  We are going to have a 4 terrace across BBQ, eating at our own tables and our own food but yelling back and forth over the hedges for socializing. 

Hope the end of this bleak period is near.  Stay well.  xxoo me
