Old people tend to shy away from that word. [:D]

Perhaps the smart people are getting fully vaccinated and are finally out doing stuff. Perhaps. [;)]

<--- Fully vaccinated.

Hopefully it's just the spring thaw and folks are getting out to enjoy the sunshine.

I was quite busy with stuff. Mostly hanging out on Tumblr or in youtube comments/chats or various other forums. Well, I'm usually busy with stuff.

I'm busy renovating part of the restaurant.

When it was clear that the pandemic would have been a long-term affair I talked to my wife and we agreed to do a jump in the dark: expand our capacity to do pizza. Now it is (barely) saving us, because the take-away business skyrocketed. We offer a variety of take-away dishes but, of course, pizzas cover about 80% of the requests.

It was a rush job. We now took a week to properly fix the new oven. Almost finished [:)]

Glad to see your back, I hope the restaurant does well! If I were younger, in better health I would love to eat there!

We do special dishes - we only ask for one-day warning.

If one day you want to eat "chez-nous" you only have to say what your specific needs are and we will be glad to put together something nice [:)]

After watching Stanley Tucci's Searching for Italy series, visiting Italy is on the old bucket list. I'm glad to hear that your restaurant is making do, sadly a lot of mom and pop restaurants in my area couldn't adjust to take-away, hopefully this will all pass soon enough and you'll be back at 100%.

I have fond memories of the meals taken in Italy when I was there. As they say, the food alone is worth the trip. [;)]

I was in Rome with my school in 1972. First lunch was a lasagna, an unknown dish in Groningen at the time. Also learned to appreciate an espresso standing at a stainless steel bar in the street.
Next year I travelled with an Eurorail card to Greece, but on the return trip I spent a week in Rome again. I wanted to show this place to my new found girlfriend from Munich.
In 1980 I made a trip through Northern Italy with my Corsican girlfriend. We came from France, Genua, Pisa, the Tuscan countryside to Florence. Very good food in tiny restaurants in small villages. While in the 70's banking in Rome was so bad that they didn't even have change in shops, in 1980 Northern Italy the banks were at the front in technology with flashy Olivetti computer systems that handled my Dutch bank account more efficiently than my home bank in Groningen.
Then it was 2008 when I stayed a week in Reggio Emilia with an internet friend from Cologne to visit the private Collezione Maramotti. From there we also went to Parma and Bologna, but somehow I preferred Reggio, because it was a friendly small university town, without lots of tourists, while still having that same Mediaeval architecture, everything just a little bit smaller. I was surprised that German was more useful to communicate with the locals than English, but then, their nearest neighbours are Austrians and Swiss.

As stupid as it sounds, I just went to Five Guys and had a hamburger! First time out eating in a year and a month. Yes I got my final shot so I'm living dangerously! Ha!

I just got my second shot, the first thing I'm going to line up after it sets is a real haircut in order to get rid of this COVID mop. Maybe after that hit a Fudruckers.

Just driving around town is risky behavior. Too many distracted drivers. I almost got hit by a redlight runner on my way to the first shot. Getting killed in a traffic accident while on one's way to get vaccinated would be the irony of ironies. The Universe isn't without a sense of humor. [8D]
