Spent some good time with Lola and Neve while in via delle venti. Read them macbeth as bedtime story. Kept alive the legend of the Barabek, who still lives in the dark space above the cantina stairs. Neve and I would put a banana at the top of the stairs so he’d eat that in preference to any passing humans. I’d sometimes come down the stairs, pretending to be the Barabek and they’d have fun being scared.
Went on early-morning bike ride with Lola — one thing which she’d been desperate to get in. We rode up to Camalo’ and had a brioch at the bar.
And then we made the birthday cake for Mr Monkey, and later the cake for Dedi. But still I felt like I was often short-tempered and fobbing them off because I was working on some DIY, or checking email or whatever.
It’s all so gosh-darned tricky. 😮
