ROME 23/05 – Day 12: Clams, Coffee Makers and Cedri

The Ave Maria Bell is now in 20:30 mode.

In some hours the sun will set at 20:22 having risen at 05:51.

We celebrated St. Nereus and Achilleus and Flavia Domatilla and Pancratius today.

I swapped out the gasket in the apartment’s coffee maker, even though I don’t use.  When you see a small thin that needs doing, just do it.

Here’s a small thing that needed posting.

I went to the fishmonger this morning after Mass for to buy me some clams, vongole veraci.   This was shot immediately before a serious rude Japanese couple literally elbowed me out of the way to shoot their own photos.  LOL.

At my usually veg and fruit stand, I saw a cedra.  This is what Tassoni makes Cedrata from.  I had that on my wishlist for a long time.

Right now the clams are “spurging” in the kitchen and I am about to undertake some chess puzzles and then try to play through and analyze a game.  I think I found a flaw in my approach to play.   Must put it to a test against a strong engine.

Weather… large clouds scudding, white with dark over layered, with patches of bright sky.  Quite breezy.  It feels like rain.

Here’s a puzzle.

White to move.

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
