The weekend now begins to glimpse, I already feel the taste of relaxation that begins to pervade my senses. Compared to the previous weekend that saw me work on Saturday, this weekend I will instead be completely free from any extra-family commitment.
As a good resident of a seaside city, my programming has the sea at the top of the lineup. When I was a kid, I used to inaugurate the summer season in the first days of May, sometimes even in the last ten days of April. This year, thanks to the lockdown, the weather is not yet ideal, I still have to dive into the sea and, looking at the weather forecast, it seems to be the right weekend. Since adolescence I have always frequented the same place with friends, now I continue to do it with my family. With a 14 month old baby, the place is also ideal for him as there is a cove full of pebbles and the entrance to the water consists of a good portion of sand.
Dinner at the villa
Last weekend we resumed the appointment with our friends who are lucky enough to own a beautiful villa in the countryside, a fairly urban area. Saturday evening will certainly be full of company: the only unknown is always dinner. It is usually something we decide on the same day and often ends with a home-made pizza or take-away at the last minute. But it matters little, the important thing is to always be in good company, regardless of where and what you eat
Family lunch
It has now become a practice to have lunch at my parents' house on Sundays for lunch. It is a special day when my mother has such a number of diners that she can show off her cooking skills and above all in abundant portions. Since my brother and I have left home, she still cannot convince herself that she and my father cannot eat the quantities of 4 people 馃槀
TV series
My wife and I are big fans of TV series and before the birth of our son every evening, after a working day, we would watch a couple of episodes of some series. Then everything obviously changed and we hardly have the time and energy to do it during the week. When we tried it, we ended up falling asleep shortly after the start of the episode. Now we have found our small space on Sunday afternoon, taking advantage of the presence of grandparents playing with the child, my wife and I get to see each other a couple of episodes.
There remains the doubt of Sunday evening. Usually my wife and I take our son to the park and then a nice walk on the sea coast where there are pizzerias, restaurants and pubs and here we have many possibilities for dinner. Sometimes, however, we go directly home and continue to play with him.
One thing is certain: our life revolves entirely around that of our son. Everything we do and think, he is our priority. And all this is the most beautiful thing in the world, beyond the most tiring.
