ONLY LACKING A TRAFFIC CONE

Gentle morning at the Orto Botanico, followed by a wander around the Santa Croce quarter and a delightful lunch of flavoursome pasta. Off now to enjoy the hot tub in the garden with Lorenzo.*. It's a tough life.

It seemed appropriate to re-read A Room with a View while here. It's surprisingly up to date with its exploration of how we define our tribes and manage their boundaries.
