Weather

Warm and sunny.

First thing, I did my morning stretches as inspired by Angela Copson and then I had a breakfast and did my swim. Today there was bacon. My breakfast was bacon and fried eggs with two slices of buttered toast, tea, coffee and milk.

I went down to the pool for my 10:00am swim. My continuous swim was 16 minutes today. And I was in the pool for 30 minutes. I did a bit of sunbathing and then had another short dip in the pool.

I had a couple of cups of red wine at lunch time. Then I had a snooze. I went back to the pool at around 16:00, so a bit earlier than yesterday. The pool side bar was closed today. I headed over to Gelateria Davide for a couple of beers – corona with a slice of lemon. I then went to Civico 01 for the spicy cheese starter and the arosticini with verdure. I had a couple of beers with those plus I got two lots of coperto and pane. The bread was crusty and really nice but it spelled trouble for later. After my meal I went to Davide’s again and had a gelato.

Back at my hotel I woke around midnight with severe bloating and stomach pain. It was awful. I went to the bathroom a couple of times. Eventually I got back to sleep and woke at about 6am. I then dozed off again. It was not great though. I must try and avoid a recurrence.
