A Lazy Day

There must have been something in last night's dinner because this morning the six of us woke up in a totally soporific state. Speaking for myself, I could barely summon up the strength to put on suncreen and lay by the pool. Somehow I managed.

I think it was the dessert--fat, juicy fresh pears poached in a rich red wine sauce which we accompanied with glases of Marcella's own vin santo. We got up from the table and lurched into the living room for an evening of Scrabble and Sorry.

Tomorrow Asha and Josh leave in the early morning so I have resolved to take a long walk once I say goodbye to the happy couple to make up for today's delicious laziness.
