ROME 25/4– Day 7: Annoyed

Today the Sun rose upon Rome at 6:28. It will inevitably set at 19:53.

The Ave Maria Bell has now moved to a new cycle: 20:15.

The Roman Station is Santa Prisca on the Aventine Hill.

It is Holy Tuesday.

I have little to report today.  It was mostly a chore day.

I did stop to pick up a toaster.   Exciting, right?  I can now toast bread more easily.  Woo hoo!

I had a BEAST of a time with the program I use to make podcasts.   It is maddeningly annoying, but has certain features which, when it loads, make what I do easier.  However, the damn thing refuses to recognize that I actually bought a license for it.  Hence, it thinks I have the free version which won’t let me do anything.  The website is horrible.  NEVER buy anything from Magix, especially Music Maker.  EVER.  I had made several LENTCAzTs in advance while still at home so my first days here wouldn’t be to oppressive.  Now they are oppressive anyway.

So, I had to make today’s and tomorrow’s using Blender, which it is really not meant for.  I managed.   Sooooo annoying when tech is your obstacle.

I went over the Chiesa Nuova today to find St. Philip.  He’s there.

Then I went around the corner to a legatoria, a book binder, to have him repair two small prayer books which are quite rare.  He asked €40 for both, which I thought was a little high, but… hey.  I want them fixed.   He’ll do a good job and I like artisans like this.

Lunch and breakfast were comprised of a single small thing of yogurt.   Nothing interesting to see there.

I went out the back way of the sacristy today and there was the “tomb” which will be set up for the Blessed Sacrament on Holy Thursday.
