The weather is all over the place at the moment in Italy. Are we going to take an umbrella or a sunhat with us when we go out? Yesterday strong winds battered crops and another wave of African heat is on its way.

Meanwhile the vegetation thrives. Sometimes the area looks like a tropical rain forest. It certainly is a hot temperate one. What will tomorrow bring I wonder.

Meanwhile I’m enjoying the walks with my three inimitable partners. They are so much more sensitive than humans and just by looking at them I can notice things bipeds can’t. Real friends can be literally counted on the fingers of one hand, and three of my friends have four paws, whiskers and fur.

It was supposed to rain this afternoon. Perhaps it might tomorrow. Who knows?

I wonder if Longoio’s protecting deities know?
