Pretty weather, boring day

Today was the classic same old, same old: 2 hours email, shower, dress, bank, accountant, pick up William. William wanted to go to our favorite local restaurant, Pellegro, so we did. After that, home, change William, drop him off at soccer. Hospital with Nonna, pick up William, drop William off at home, go to driver's ed.
Yep... driver's ed.
I have been driving for exactly 25 years. I have had the odd ticket and taken defensive driving twice but done nothing to merit having to repeat, IN ITS ENTIRETY, driver's ed. It's a matter of principle and I had been avoiding enrolling, attending and, above all, paying for Italian driver's ed classes for the past 18 and a half years.
Now the time has come and I have to suffer through this crap again. And it's REALLY terribly boring.
On a happier note, Pellegro is a restaurant here in Levanto where all the construction workers go for lunch. For 10 euros you get a primo (pasta or rice dish), a secondo (meat or fish), a contorno (veg) and a 1/4 l. wine and 1/2 l. water. There are only 3 or 4 choices for each dish and if you come later they are usually out of your choice.
William and I go usually once a week. Sometimes Fabio is around and we'll meet him there and sometimes other people we know are there so we'll sit with them. As a rule, I am the only woman. Growing up in a household with 3 brothers and now living with 2 very manly boys, I am used to being the only girl. It doesn't bug me at all. I just wonder what these guys think of me in this joint, griping at my son to put his napkin in his lap and chew with his mouth closed. Goodness knows that this is not the place to show off your manners.
It is good, cheap, homemade food. Both Grandmas are in the kitchen, the wife serves and the husband organizes. They remember what we like and, since I don't drink wine with lunch, comp my coffee.
If you're ever in Levanto between 12 and 3 Monday through Friday stop by. At the roundabout under the hospital. Can't miss it.
