It is my last full day in Rome. It is a sad day.
It is gray and weeping rain.
I hope it will clear up a little tonight for a couple of last errands and a stroll. I don’t do rain very well, I’m afraid.

I’ve said good bye to all the shop and stand keeper and have most everything tidied up. I want to leave the place cleaner than I found it, so that will take some work. For example, I though to soak glassware and flatware in aceto d’alcool, to get all the hard water buildup off them. This is something that wasn’t done before I got here. I’ll treat also the things I have not used.
I may start a last bit of laundry to leave all the dishtowels and linens clean for whom ever must clean up.

Apartment: again, it is sad day.

The pawn on f3 is sure handy.
It is sad you have to leave. It is obvious how much you love it there. I wish it could be year-round for you. Then again, we wouldn’t want you in Rome when God loses His patience. Have a safe and happy journey home.

Safe trip, Father!!
Hard water buildup? Hot water and white vinegar. Soak for awhile and a soft scrub should do it. White vinegar rules!
