After another foray into the supermarket where mysteries such as the need to wear plastic gloves to select your fruit and vegetables arise, we came home for lunch and la pausa (a.k.a siesta).
The hairdresser in Castiglione del Lago re-opened at 3.30 pm so we were there in hope of getting the very necessary smartening up. They mostly do not make appointments so, like a barber in Australia, you sit and wait your turn. It has been a hot day so we were the only people there and Walter speaks English so that is helpful when discussing hair needs.
As luck would have it, a very good gelateria is right next door to Walter. Today's flavours are zuppa inglese (like trifle), blood orange and coffee.
Castiglione del Lago is our nearest large town, also fortified, and right on Lago Trasimeno. It is always picturesque and interesting.
Aperativi tonight, we haven't been to the piazza the last couple of nights. Truffle paste cannot be beaten for deliciousness.
Every-one loves the fountain in the centre of the piazza. It was the original water cistern and usually has a crowd of locals sitting around it.
We all know lasagne but in Italy it comes in varieties. Today at the supermarket deli we bought lasagne bosciola, full of a selection of mushrooms, and so delicious. Sorry, I ate it before I thought of photographing it.
