Walking on sunshine...

This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 6:30am, looked out of the window at the grey sky and wished I didn't have to get up, shower, dress and take the train into Milan. However, this is what I get paid to do, so I did.

After my latte machiatto and brioche, I went to the office where I was due to teach only to find out that my student was stuck in a traffic jam (caused by a road traffic accident) and wouldn't be able to come to the lesson.

So, after checking the student wouldn't be arriving any time soon and that there was no substitute student, I took myself back to the train station and back home, arriving just as my lesson was supposed to finish.

So, I have an extra couple of hours at home today, the sun is shining, I'm listening to BBC podcasts and ticking off another day on the calendar - life is pretty good.
