Hey Hey, My My outa the blue and... (into the black)



Here you find us today in the Upper reaches of the Okavango delta...

....through the morning mist a rare glimpse of a native hornbill and the eerie haunting call of a young lonely male Orangutan can be heard in the misty distance....

Ho..ho...only joking...not really....high up but still in Umbria. Quite atmospheric with the clouds still hanging about after all the recent rain...it’s been as wet as a tramps vest for the last few days!
As the year starts to close, the wine and the oil has been pressed and bottled, the warm sunshine has retired and the vast woods have started to change to a golden colour, while large flocks of birds gather to fly off for their holidays and we find ourselves winding down with the clock...

It’s quite a change from the summer and sorta feels quite sad....
Still...there’s more to the picture than meets the eye....

But look on the bright side....It’s Black ‘feckin’ Fridey!!.....Whoop, ‘Feckin’ Whoop!!




You can’t escape the Black Fridey madness...it’s gone absolutely crazy here today with unlimited free entry into the mercato in the little piazza for everyone!
Folk have been queued all night, three times around the parcheggio, for a whopping 20% off all porchetta butties, Prosecco under half price, New olive oil at knockdown prices, Massive savings on huge Panetone’s, Unbeatable Deals on great big lumps of Parmigiano, a total mental frenzy on Grappa and Nutella, Amazing one-off, never to be repeated offers on winter logs and cardigans. You like Pizzas?...get this....any size, any topping..half price!....wow!...and that’s not all....Reduced and ‘locally produced’ mozzarella prices are slashed, with fresh celery and parsley discounted and for one day only they are giving away hot-roasted chestnuts and an unbelievable buy one - get one free deal on all incense sticks and candles until Sunday...while stocks last!

Conditions apply and finance available so you can buy everything now and pay for it for the rest of your sad, weary life...sorry, but migrants'. need not apply!


...they give you this but you pay for that....

If you don’t believe me you can check out all the latest offers here....
Absolutely no camels were hurt in this gluttonous shopping frenzy...
And remember...a camel is not just for Christmas!

...and once your gone you can’t come back...

It will probably end up being a Black Saturday too here...the Azzurri take on the lesser known team the ‘Nuova Zealanda’ tomorrow in the Olympic Stadium in Rome and I don’t fancy their chances much....still, we once beat them!🔥!

...it’s better to burn out than to fade away....eh Peter?



This is quite obviously Neil Young and with his band ‘Crazy Horse’ with a full on guitar fuelled version played with passion as it always should be...always brilliant...enjoy!
