the dim pause

A very Italian day today 🇮🇹

Spaghetti alle vongole for lunch at Signor Valentino, Cardiff Bay

A table setting with two plates of pasta: one with spaghetti and clams, the other with tagliatelle. Accompanied by two glasses of white wine, water glasses, cutlery, and a wine cooler with a bottle.

Followed by a very enjoyable performance of Puccini’s Tosca by Welsh National Opera at the Wales Millennium Centre.

The image shows a group of performers taking a bow on stage after an opera performance of Puccini's Tosca.They stand in front of a large, circular, decorative backdrop with a central circular opening. Stage lights surround the backdrop. A table with a glass of red wine, a brochure for Tosca by Puccini, and a sign offering a 10% discount on drinks post-show. The setting appears to be a cozy lounge with modern seating in the background.

Staying at the Cardiff Bay Premier Inn for a night. Nice view from our room but weather not so good!

A circular window view from a room shows a waterfront scene with a red brick clock tower, nearby buildings, and a Ferris wheel against a cloudy sky. The foreground includes a cushioned bench with a backpack and a coat. The image shows a large modern building with a distinctive, curved roof, likely an arts or cultural center, set against a cloudy sky. In the foreground, there is a red brick building. In the background, a river with a bridge and Ferris wheel.
