It's Friday!

The good news today is that the week is almost over. I'm glad that the weekend is approaching. I'll have to work tomorrow but on Sunday we're going to visit a friend and his family who live in a (VERY) small  place near Crema. He is not just a friend, G. is one of my best friend. We've know each other for more than 10 years and he is really special. He lives in an area where there is literally nothing but he is not a city man and he is quite happy there. They live all together: G, his brother & parents and still do things that my grandma used to do, like home made pasta and lasagna, like going to the church every Sunday (this is R., G's mum), like speaking dialect. I love them. There's always a warm atmosphere at their house, an ancient taste of typical Italian family. I can't wait to see them all.

It's a sunny day here, a bit chilly but a beautiful day indeed. Today I'll have lunch with someone I haven't seen in ages and I'm eager to catch up with her. I'm glad I'll meet L. as without M. (who moved to Australia a few weeks ago), I feel a bit sad at work. I also need to take a break from Orlando, to be honest. Yesterday he drove me crazy. It was very windy and he wanted to stay in the garden all the time and wanted me to stay outside with him! So today he'll stay wit grandma as mum needs a day off!

I wish you a lovely weekend, my friends.

Ps. I can't put it down! Thanks, Andy :-) 

And thank you to Silvia for this. Jerusalem is a great cookbook. My homemade hummus was pretty good!
