Jelena

I went shopping at the market this morning with my friend Jelena, before we stopped for a coffee and a chat mainly about work in the Piazza Santa Maria Novella, where I stayed last time I was here, a couple of weeks ago.

I have to say that it wasn't the most professionally useful trip I've ever had to Florence, but as ever it was enjoyable. A relatively smooth, but in parts irritating trip back via Birmingham, delivering my goodies to the fridge in anticipation of tomorrow.

Hotel blips continue here. But at least I won't be in a hotel now until - oh - next Wednesday.
