Why Black Knight

The name Black Knight comes from this famous joke in roman slang. A man tells this story:
The Black Knight and the White Knight make a duel and the Black Knight kills the White Knight. Now the White Knight had 3 sons, they challenge the Black Knight to a duel and the Black Knight kills all of them. Now they had 3 sons each and the 9 White Knights challenge the Black Knight to a duel but the Black Knight kills of all them. Now they had 3 sons each and the 27 White Knights challenge the Black Knight to a duel but the Black Knight kills all of them.
Please stop the story, what do you mean, what is the moral?
The moral is: "Don't piss off the Black Knight"!!!!!!!!!

Week end by the lake

Week end by the lake: My wife and I have just got home after 2 days in Capodimonte, by the lake of Bolsena, with our daughter's family. On the lakefront there were attractions, music and an open market. This year no fireworks at midnight because of the Covid restrictions.
We spent many hours by the lake, enjoying the fresh water and playing with Gabriele, the grandson 5 y.o. (the other one, Alessandro, is only 2 months old).



Running update: On the running front this was not an easy week because of the heat wave, so I made shorter and slower runs except on Sunday  (always at 06:30 a.m.) where I could run in Capodimonte under a light breeze:
Monday: 7,6 km flat;
Wednsday: 8,7 km flat;
Friday: 9,2 km hilly;
Sunday: 10,5 km flat.

  1. Bolsena Lake looks beautiful, Stefano!
    Does your daughter and her family live in Capodimonte or did you all just spend a few days there?
    Well done with the running despite the heat!
    Here we're at a cool 20°C again.

  2. Well, I had no idea you had grandchildren!!! How wonderful to spend time with them at the lake. And I bet the running felt great while you were there too.

    1. We have 4 grandchildren (13 y.o., 9 y.o., 5 y.o. and 2 months).
      Running by the lake is good for many reasons: temperature, landscapes, ground, few cars etc.

    1. And also the near towns are beautiful and relaxing. Before the pandemic there was a running tournament named "Corrintuscia" with a race in every town of the Province.

  5. Running was difficult here, too, because of the same reason. The heat wave finally broke, although some humidity has crept back in & we're expecting more thunderstorms over the next few days.

    Time spent by water & with family is always time well spent!
