Sicilian proverb:
Un sittembri càudu e asciuttu maturari fa ogni fruttu
= "A hot, dry September ripens every fruit."
And a hot, dry September is what we have mostly, fortunately, had. However, tonight we are in for the severe weather that has affected the Italian mainland: it is raining, the Scirocco is blowing and it is looking very dark and inhospitable out there. [Even Simone is not too keen on going for a walk right now!] So I'd better turn off the computer before we get thunder and lightning. [I've got a torch in each room in case the electricity goes off!]
Hope you had a good night. It was dry here, warmish too, September is always my favourite month. I love the mellowness and smells of autumn leaves.
ReplyDeleteA torch in every room. Sound advice. We are the last electricity pole at the end of the valley and darkness is deep when the power goes. We only have a torch in the main room but more is a very good plan. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteHi, Ellee. Thank you, I had a better night than I expected. The storm blew itself out by midnight. Then it rained very heavily at 6am, which cleared the air. I miss "golden autumn".
ReplyDeleteHi, Mark. I'm quite amazed at myself, really, as I'm not usually that practical!
