I am off for a few days.

Tomorrow morning at just after stupid o'clock, when it is at least light, we are driving down to Italy.

Although only 320 kilometers (200 miles) it will take 4 plus hours, since we have to negotiate the second highest mountain pass in Switzerland. So we will stop for lunch, I expect, and take even longer.

To those I proof-read for, then services will be resumed as normal in the new week.
For any remaining readers of Julina, then the next one is close, but yet to be completed. You will see why, but basically I have been busy on other subjects.

The reason for absence? Well ...

We are off to Turin (aka Torino) for one of the 'world's greatest shows'.

A four-day street food festival (with wine too!)

All the best to you all - or y'all, if you prefer.

Julia.
