Two things struck me today. One was in the canteen, one of the options of vegetables was baked beans. Looked like a big steaming bowl of Heinz baked beans. Apparently it's a Tuscan speciality, fagioli de something or other - looks like baked beans and I steered well clear of it as it's not what I came to Italy for - although several of the Italians had some and apparently they are very good!
The other thing that has stuck in my mind today is "rectal lag" - the fact that if human body temperature changes then it takes longer for that change to be noted if you are measuring body temperature at the rectum rather than other sites - oral, axilla, lughole etc. So there. That was how my day was spent!
