Back on track; who would blog on May Day?
Still enjoying reminiscing about the glorious trip early in the month, and still haven't written it up. Truth be told, I probably never will, but never say never. Absolute highlight on the last day of the month was a tiny water feature on the terrace. It has a lot of settling in to do, including I hope a dwarf waterlily, but for now the burbling of the solar-powered fountain is music to my ears. Eat your heart out, Charlie Dimmock.
Highlights of the month:
- Valderice! Marsala! Trapani! Agrigento! Piazza Armerina! Tropea!
- An interview, in Italian, with a very interesting miller
- Continuing growth on the terrace
- Revised recording checklist to avoid future cockups
- Finished a crochet project
- Meals on Feets for a poorly friend
- Annual elderflower cordial session
- Bagel brunch
- Netflix playing up
- Crazed day trip to south of Bari to record a very pleasant interview.

Stuff Done
Still enjoying looking at my podcast on OP3, a fine reminder that, yes, Virginia, there is a long tail. Episodes from 2019, 2016, 2015 and even 2013 recording respectable double-digit downloads in the past 30 days. Hard to think of other specifics that aren’t covered in the highlights.

Previous years are still on an archive page.
Goals
Only four posts here, and trying to keep up with an unspoken goal to do with the podcasts. I think that’s going OK too.
Niggles
Haven’t found a dwarf waterlily locally, yet.
Final remarks
Navidrome and Tailscale make for a game-changing combination. Although one or the other can be a bit flaky at times, I think that's usually my fault.
