Round and round

I’m avoiding the Carabinieri and their roadside checking regimes. Taking long detours so they’ll not get the satisfaction of stopping me. I realised its about the stopping me without due cause, about a state agency that doesn’t trust its citizens, that treats them as guilty aforethought, and the uniforms and guns.

So here’s a toadstool growing on our land. In limited profusion.

The weather got cold, down to 6C. But then a beautiful dawn today, low 20c and crystal clear. I could see Corsica from the beach we went back to for a last weekend of swims. They even had some successful loggerhead turtle nests - three - on this fairly frantic coast.
