It seems that it’s the hottest week of the year now…what’s left but the complaining? I killed a mosquito yesterday with much malice…I blame my 12 bites on the heat as it’s not been a problem until this week.

A was chatting with someone I barely know and we were talking about books…she has read Bukowski, Murakami, and Shakespeare…I was impressed enough to mention it here…a thousand bonus points to her for having the best reading list in Tuscany (besides me of course)…
