Last night when I was going out for the evening walk with the dogs, the yard was completely black. At first I didn't understand what happened. Had I got the timing wrong? Was it in the middle of the night? Then it dawned on me that all the lighting was gone. It gets pitch dark here.
.
It's at times like this that I stumble upon the thought, “oh my god, am I going to fix this? Taking care of a giant farm 24/7 by yourself”. The boiler, the electricity, the water, the drains, the wells, everything big and complicated is pre-programmed to fail and break, like Friday night towards Saturday around the third year...
.
I always always have to take a deep breath, look for a flashlight (which of course I brought to Italy last time) and boot into the dark. I'm not afraid of the dark and I have a pretty good grasp of the property. But searching for all the lockers in the middle of the night requires going into all the buildings, sounding the alarm and stumbling around in the dark with a pounding heart... the yard is quite large and has many houses.
.
Last night I combed zero. Found no error. Had to limp into the white villa with a throbbing headache and wondering what was wrong. I also thought it smelled burnt....there was almost no sleep of course.
.
After a long hot shower and a strong coffee, I have now gathered my strength and will solve the problem.
.
Life on a large farm is NEVER a "shrimp sandwich". Well, now I was unfair...sometimes...5 minutes here and 5 minutes there...

It's kick-ass-be-kind-Wednesday, lets go! 👊🏻♥️
