Even though we are „on holiday“ there are still chores to be done, so today we got up really early and dashed to the washing machines to load them up with my smelly socks. Gerhild then fought like a lioness to get some space on the washing lines under the very pleasant Tuscan sunshine. The sunshine stuck around all day so we enjoyed the shade from our oak trees to eat a leisurely lunch and to read/listen to a bit of literature. I was reading Ian Fleming‘s „The man with the golden gun“, Gerhild is listening to „The Four Winds“ by Kristin Hannah which we borrowed online from our library in Berlin.
