Currently: staying in a .. I have no idea what it is, but a shared boarding house, on the top of a large hill covered in a medieval village which takes about a minute and a half to walk around, along with thirty Italians and my half Italian daughter. Outside loud mopeds, fireworks and the constant background scent of sulphur.
I had a panic beforehand, because the EUR150 in booze my partner bought apparently didn't include red wine. Thankfully someone else covered that with two giant 30ltr 'bottles' of vino rosso (and white, which I don't much drink)
There's half a pig, half a boar, and a literal sack of rosemary potatoes cooking in multiple pizza ovens as I sit outside smoking a quick cig, listening to the incessant 15 minute call of the local church bells.
Going to be an interesting couple of days... .
