Bella cosa far niente

Washing day in Italy is very different to washing day in Australia. Like all things here, they are done in small bits. The machines are smaller than we are used to and take much longer to wash. There are no Hill's Hoists, in fact there are very few lines from windows. A portable line is the usual way.

While some people do the washing, others enjoy the quiet life with a good book - Kindle style!

After La Pausa we did the 'over the ridge' walk to Paciano again. Was this a wild boar on the road?

The reward for the stiff climb makes the effort worthwhile.

So that was our day - Bella cosa far niente, or Idleness is a nice employment.
