Woke to a sunny day, yesterday's sheared alpacas in the olive groves outside. Must be weather for shorts, got to get some sun on the "milk bottles", my dad and son have similar, legs run in our family. Breakfast and we're loaded and off to Daniella's. A couple of hours and a few wrong turns and we arrive, still hot and sunny, lunch or alpaca shearing? Went for the shearing, only 6 to do.
Having completed them without major mishaps, the rain started to fall. Lunch it is then, back in the shorts, now starting to look like a hasty decision. Liz stayed for lunch, which was a good move as communication was a slight problem as they new a little English and we knew even less Italian, Liz was able to translate, Georgio has told me to learn more Italian and he will learn more English for next year. Now it's off to San Merino, Penny will be meeting us part way there.
It rains for most of the journey, but Penny assures us that she has her alpacas in the dry. When we arrive, sure enough her alpacas are in her garage, waiting to be sheared. Jon has cheked the forecast for tomorrow, cloudy and 17°, doesn't sound like short weather to me.
