Three weeks away from home makes for a very pleasant month, not least because we were able to read about Rome sweltering from afar.
Highlights of the month:
- Daily swims the first week, and orto abundance
- Visits to new rural friends
- Frangipani and blowsy pink hibiscus giving of their best
- Taxes done and dusted, for now
- Reacquainted with Puglia ...
- ... and Matera
- Big repotting on the terrace: cycad, wisteria, strelitzia, agave regina

Stuff Done
Er, nothing to report that isn't in the highlights. No, wait. Rode the Brompton over to Pigneto to go to Zio Bici, a Brompton specialist I heard about on IG. Turned out to be the most charming chap who fitted me with the roller wheels I had been wanting, and we had a good chat into the bargain. When I wrote it up I thought I might like to visit more often, just for the sake of it. That feeling hasn't left. Also, started being a bit conscientious about the Guardian Cryptic Crosswords, at least on Mondays and Tuesdays (though I should probably at least try and then look at solutions an the more difficult days too.)

Goals
Eight posts here, not bad for being on holiday. Or maybe that's the reason. $project continued to be ignored.
Niggles
Er ... didn't deal with any of last month's niggles, so I suppose they remain, but muted.
Final remarks
What a great month is was.
