Alpina's blog post - Into the Weekend

I was so overwhelmed by you positive reactions that I have decided to post the picture of us one-and-a-half also here. Thanks for all the good wishes, and I am glad the way I look does not completely erase all your naughty thoughts.

I have just come back from the market - there are so many fresh products on sale at the moment, which were grown locally, that it is difficult to decide what to take. I won't be cooking much at home, though, because Phillip is mainly on duty all weekend, but I have promised to cook at Elsie's tonight - and there is nothing like fresh vegetables for male strength.

Yes, it's our Aldo Day and there is much excitement around the house. Elsie has bought enough Prosecco to serve an Italian football team, and it's going to be drunk in the Jacuzzi to loosen up what might still be tense by then. Let's hope the weather keeps - it's been warm in the last few days because of the Föhn - you may remember: this strong, southerly wind which effects this and that in people. But if it changes: I am sure we won't feel the cold front too much.
