It has been a very long day. The Siena market was very slow. It probably was due to the rain and winds and cold. I should have worn my long underwear. We had a better turnout last week when it was snowing.
I did try and find my glasses; wouldn’t you know that they would be having a bus strike and all the offices were closed. Doubt they were there anyway.
After 6 hours of standing in the cold, we returned to the farm and started baking chocolate muffins, cheesy muffins, and bread in preparation for the markets over the weekend. It takes time to have the bread raise and then you have to bake it. Good thing I purchased a bottle of wine to help me get through until dinner!
Of course I did not forget my chickens. Again no eggs, what is with these chickens?
I am preparing for my trip on Monday and did all the wash, which is hanging on the radiator to dry… it is still raining.
Although I long and busy day, I am warm and cozy in my room with my hot water bottle. Tomorrow’s market is going to be interesting. It is in a very small town. I hope to trade my books that I read for new books (hopefully in English). I will give you an update tomorrow.
Ciao for now.
