First Full Day

I currently have a spare five minutes, so instead of leaving off writing until tonight I'll start now! (M is asleep and F is with his grandmother)
It was surprising how easily I fell asleep last night, considering I'm in a noisy city in a warm upstairs bedroom! Then a 6:30am wake up - just in time for sunrise. The shower was...interesting!  At first it was too cold, and then just as the temperature reached "perfection" it became scalding hot,  so I just mixed that with cold from the sink in a cup and used that! I find it's always the same with a different shower, that it takes a few tries before you fully understand how it works, and get over any quirks it may have. The water here is lovely to drink though, it's fine straight from the tap, which I wasnt expecting. There's also really old water fountains in the street that look a little like fire hydrants which are also amazing to drink from; I now realise that the Romans definitely knew/know what they're doing regarding water works!
After breakfast one of B's friends took me and the children to the park, with beautiful views across Rome on the way. I had my second fully Italian coffee of the day, the first being an espresso (which was amazing!) and then a cappuccino.  Two forms of coffee that I don't drink at home but taste really good here! We had a wander and made our way back to the apartment just as everywhere was getting hot and busy. Lunch was simple: pasta and parmesan! I knew that sometimes they take pasta a little more "al dente" than I do, so F did a good job of helping me check regularly whether it was too hard until we got it right. Turns out he likes it exactly like me, but at least I know now!
I think B will be home soon, and we will be going out to meet some of F's friends, so I will leave it there!
As soon as all of my photos from my phone syncronise with my tab I will post some.
Ciao!!
