OLIVES AND G&T


Give me a plate of olives and I am as satisfied as I would be with a three-course meal. So, when my beloved Altro Posto reopened at lunchtime today, I was more than happy with this complimentary dish of antipasti; grissini [breadsticks] wrapped in Parma ham and cheese, a chunk of freshly-baked bread filled with tomatoes and a little mozzarella, all drizzled with olive oil, plus plenty of lovely, salty olives.

In addition, I have been to Raffaele the hairdresser's and feel human for the first time in 10 days, not only because I now feel I can face the world, but because at Raff's I can pour my heart out to the best psychoanalyst in town!
