今日はお昼頃にペットワースの美容院でヘアカットをしてもらったので、その前に Cowdray Farm Shop & Cafe でランチをしました。途中、道路閉鎖がされていて戸惑いましたし遠回りになりましたが、早めに出たので間に合って良かったです。
I had my hair cut at my hair dresser in Petworth around lunch time, so before that we had lunch at the Cowdray Farm Shop & Cafe. There was a road closure on our way and we had to drive a longer way but we made it OK without rushing because we had left early.
わたしは ALT （アボカド、レタス、トマト）のサンドイッチ、夫はアスパラガス、卵、ブラックプディングのサラダ。わたしのサンドイッチのパンがすごく分厚いスライスで食べきれなかったので、半分の１枚は夫が食べました。
I had their ALT (Avocado, Lettuce, Tomato) Sandwich, my husband had Asparagus, Egg, Black Pudding Salad. The bread for my sandwich was sliced very thick so it was too much bread for me, so my husband had a slice of a half of it.
それにしても今日は寒くて震え上がりました。ローマから戻ってからずっと良いお天気でしたが気温は低くて風が吹くと寒かったものの、お天気が良い分震えるほど寒くは感じず、昨日は結構暖かくなっていました。ところが今日は曇っていて、気温も１３度と冬に逆戻り。昨日までのつもりで出かけたら風も強くて震えました、でも、明日はまたお天気が良くなり気温も１９度まで上がる予報です。
It was so cold today! Since we got back it’s been lovely weather although it did feel a bit cold as the temperature hasn’t been so high specially when the wind blows but with the sun on your back it felt comfortable, and it was quite warm yesterday. However, it was very grey today and was windy, the temperature was as low as 13C during the day, it felt like winter again. I went out wearing light clothes without thinking because it was warm yesterday but with the strong wind I was so cold when we walked a short distance from the cafe to the car.
ペットワースから戻って来てからしばらく溜まっていたアイロンがけをしたのですが、リビングでお茶を飲む時間の頃に久しぶりに胃が痛くなり（若い頃はよく胃が痛くなっていましたが、仕事をやめてからはよほど食べすぎた時くらいしかならなくなっていました）、結構痛くて、胃腸薬を飲んでもその後更に痛くなりどれだけ酷くなるのかと少し心配になりましたが（我慢できない痛さではなかった）、幸い、２時間くらいで良くなり、そのあとはすっかり元気になりました。特に食べすぎたとも思えないのですが、そんな訳で念の為、夕食は予定を変更して軽いものにしました。フムスとパンとチーズを少しだけ。
After we got back from Petworth, I did some ironing as there was a large pile waiting for me, but around the time when we usually have tea in the living room, I started having a stomach ache, which got worse even though I took some medicine (I used to get stomach ache often when I was young but hadn’t had it since I stopped working, unless I overeat.) As well as having the pain I started to worry how bad it was going to get but after a couple of hours thankfully it subsided and since then I’m totally fine. However, I thought it’s probably better not to eat a normal meal and we had something very light instead of what we were planning. Humus, bread & a little cheese.
