So, it’s been very cold and rainy. But also hot and sunny. Hot and rainy in the early afternoon, then cold and rainy until dark. This has messed up some of my drawing plans, as I’ve only had a few hours after class before rainy and cold. Today I was drawing an alley, sitting outside the music school, listening to an orchestra practicing. Pretty nice, but then rain started within half an hour. I’ll come back later to finish the drawing. Weather is supposed to improve soon.
Wrt Italian, even after just three days of class I feel like I can speak more confidently. The class is constant speaking and discussion. When I was walking downhill from the Piazza Grande, I had a brief actual conversation about a bees nest and its various dangers.
Also discovered a shortcut up to the summit. It’s an alley which is almost straight up, but seems very direct.
