I did a lot today in spite of my knee pain. Escalivada for dinner.

As I told you, Diego will not be coming back. He will stay at his mother´s house here for a couple of days and then he will go to the seashore with his father for another couple of days. Then he´ll be going to the south to live with Tania. He will have to look for another job as he quit the job he had. I told him to ask his old boss for references. With Anita we even washed again the terrace chair covers. And I brought the upstair´s dawn bed to the sun to air it. I left it in another room and sprayed the room´s bookshelves with Raid. The only poisonous bug we have in this country is the brown recluse (a spider) and I have heard that it lives in most houses. With all that I did not have either the time nor the willingness to go to the dentist. My knees started to hurt a lot in spite of the pill I took. So, after a while I lay down in bed and did some errands from the computer. Before going back to bed, I made an escalivada and left it cooking. Later on, I ate a great part of it with toasted ciabatta bread. I always cook the escalivada in lots of olive oil because that oil full of the aroma of the baked eggpplant is perfect to soak bread. I´ll check now some of your posts and some notifications and then I will turn off the lights. I hope I can go tomorrow to the dentist. Sleep tieght, friends. See you tomorrow

I hope so. TV is not good today so I´ll read a bit before I turn off the lights.

@marguicha I read all the time before I go to sleep. Sometimes, I read all night and don't go to sleep.

Oh! That sounds like a real busy day and you have got a lot done with Anita. Hope Diego gets references from his old boss and lands into a good job. That meal looks good. Have a good sleep. You deserve it

You had a busy day, I underhand you were not ready to go to the dentist. Now you should rest for a while, the escalivada is so good.

Today I felt much better so I went to the dentist. I took an Uber instead of walking, but I went to several places that were near each other so I did some exercise. I got an appointment for the dentist for tomorrow noon.

I have an appointment with the knee doctor for next week. I ran out of the pills for that.

That was a good idea to spray the bookshelves.

Eek that’s scary that spider lives in most houses. They are rarely seen here but when people are bitten it’s usually from moving old piles of wood outside I’ve heard. I see onions in the oil what is the other two things the red and green ones?

@marguicha I thought the red things might be peppers but when I saw the tomato in the background I wasn’t sure.

Escalivadas are baked veggies in lots of olive oil. I put eggplant, onion, peppers and hot chile. Some people include zucchini but I prefer to fill the space with eggplant.

A busy day! That escalivada looks good, I love those roasted smoky vegetables. Hope you get to the dentist soon and your knee is better today.

The dentist will start tomorrow. As for my knees, I have an appointment on Tuesday. I hope the doctor finds me with enough arthrosis to be able to get help from the government as pills and therapy go.
