Well, it all happened this morning: first the speedy-stair-and-landing cleaning duo arrived at around 8 am [the crack of dawn to me] driving Simi into a frenzy of barking and toy-shaking. No sooner had she and I settled down after this than the water lorry arrived - not before time, too, as the cisternful we bought 2 weeks ago was about to run out. I am assuming, therefore, that the new gara [competition] for the delivery contract has taken place and that it has been awarded to the same companies, as this refill was brought by the same driver who always came before. Then, about half an hour later the buzzer went and it was the man from the electoral office, bearing my smart electoral paper, duly stamped and signed by the all-important commissario straordinario.
Out and about later, I saw that our local greengrocer had cavagne [receptacles used to store ricotta cheese in times gone by] and traditional brooms hanging outside. I asked if I could take a photo and the kindly owner insisted on taking one of me holding some as well!
Our lovely mini pears and plums are back, a sure sign that the summer is under way.
The last two photos show today's complimentary nibbles at the Altro Posto and what I call a "real" ice lolly - a heavenly nero Perugina with tangerine sorbet in the middle.
What more could a girl want to start the weekend?

That last photo looks a wee bit intimate there, Welshcakes, in a chocolaty sort of way.
Tell them about the Modican chocolate again.

James?
Looks like a lovely start to the weekend Welshcakes. Do you think anyone actually uses the brooms or are they decoration?
Have a good one.
You lucky girl :)
Is that arancini I see there?

I need one now :-)
Looks like a beautiful summer day in Sicily! Wish I were there, the fresh fruit looks soooooo yummy!
I'd use one of those traditional brooms as decoration, love it. Hmm the treat at the bottom does look yummy, but I'd jump in for the fruit first :-)
Why, oh, why are you doing this to me? I'm starving as I sit here being teased and tempted by the aromas of roast pork and vegetables emanating from my oven, and then I come in here and you tempt me further with food!!!! ;)
Are the mini-pears sweet? They look lovely.
Great photos WL..that little shop looks interesting, haven't seen those brooms for years!!!
I shall, James. James?? Yes, of course!
I think these sort of brooms are decoration now, jmb.
