School is out

Taking a day off from the running, today has been a day of thesis seminars. Despite being on Zoom, I could feel how nervous the students were at first but, in the end, all went really well and everyone passed. With the grades submitted, the spring semester of 2021 is officially over, at least for the university students. Our own kids still have another ten days of school which feels a bit sad since there is no way of knowing how long this incredible blast of summer will last.

Still remembering once in Berlin when I was sharply reprimanded by an Italian for ordering wine with my pizza, I went all in with a bottle of Peroni Nastro Azzurro, which in turn brought back fond memories from a very different part of the world. Anyhow, pizza with yellow beats, ricotta and chevre it is!
