A good run around the parliament

In the morning I had coffee at the Coltea Kebap. The Turkish owner treats me with great sympathy since he discovered that I'm Spanish. I drunk coffee and talked to my mom and my uncle on the phone. We do speak for hours and they have been a great day-to-day companion during all this covid crisis. From the kebap I walked to the Humanitas bookshop in the Revolution square. I looked around for books without much interest as I already have a lot to read and I was not searching for anything in particular. I partly went to see the beautiful brunette shopkeeper who I like but she was not there today. I got back home and started transcribing some of the recording for an article I have to deliver on Tuesday. It is the part I dislike the most, transcribing, and I want to start the week tomorrow doing things I like -i.e. writing as opposed to transcribing. I then went for lunch to Legère. I had a pizza and two paints of beer and a coke. Then I transcribed a bit more, slept and finished transcribing the interviews I made for the article. I spoke to Khanya on whatsapp and went for a run around the parliament building. (Also, I forgot to say, Janusz called, and we had a nice, long chat). After the run I did push ups in the park and laid down on the grass for a while, looking at the sky and enjoying the mild weather. On the way back home I bought a bottle of coke and drunk it while walking down Regina Elisabeta.
