La dolce vita
...... just one thing missing - access to the Consortium store room!
I've had to tell "Signora B" that he list was in reverse order of importance, she's surprised to be ahead of the cats
but not surprised to be behind the cars.....well the Fiat 850 is hers after all!
Yes the olive harvest is terrible in this area due to the wet summer and fly infestation, not that I mind too much personally as I have found it an enormous amount of work for very little reward. Nothing at all worth collecting this
year but I have started to give the trees a hard pruning - I hope to get a years worth (for next year) of winter fuel for the wood burner. Much more useful than a few litres of oil!
Also the grape harvest has been a disaster for the same reasons. I sincerely hope I don't end up having to pay more than €1.50 for a decent bottle of plonk.
