Today’s entry into the #SpritzDiaries is with Limoncello, it’s actually the second of the day and disappearing fast (its molto caldo out here) but who’s counting eh?
A rather impressive moon rising above the adriatic and the harbour of Ortona this evening. “stay on the path” tonight!!
@milesbsn.bsky.social and I aren't tuning in to Strictly this year, and instead of the Saturday evening requirement to clap on beats 2 and 4, we're carrying on with #AperitivosAndArias Currently prepping an innocent-looking cocktail to accompany a rerun from the Met from way back in 2020...blimey🍾🎶🏛️
🍂 Alban Elfed | Autumn Equinox As the light and dark stand briefly in balance, the Arthurian Wheel turns towards Merlin, the Seer. A moment beside the ancient waters of St Seiriol's Well, for stillness, reflection and a little deeper seeing. Song of the Seer ~ Waters of the Well🌿
Tonight’s teaser for #AperitivosAndArias a first view for @katyashman.bsky.social Aperitivo to be announced later too. Dress relaxed enjoy the drama…… curtain up 5 min. The bar is still accepting orders.
Open are the double doors of the bar…..curtain up at 1900L……cocktails to match production……start guessing…….#AperitivoAndArias
This is very much in my wellhouse 💧 Penmon Priory crosses, St Seiriol’s Well, Penmon Point, then on to Din Sylwy in search of another well, then a yomp up Bwrdd Arthur to the trig point, and collected sloes along the way. 🌿 Lots of listening, wandering and well... research 😉

The bassoon 4tet of #EmilyInParis that we’ve just arranged/published is one of the funnest things I’ve worked on in recent months…I just need to persuade @milesbsn.bsky.social to record it 😇 (too many notes for me!) 🇫🇷🥐☕️🛍️
No one is ready to see the Regency Wandering Winds…am I right? 😅 @milesbsn.bsky.social rocks a top hat though, better than I do a bonnet… full reveal soon! 🎩👒
@rickturner.bsky.social see attached, bet you are wishing Adam hadn’t got rid of that broken barge pole now?? Alilaguna hi-tech solution….
Well that went quick! But it was being poured for me as I opened the door to say ciao.
Ever the geologist I do like a good granite column with my art (and a really bouncy terrazzo floor)!
Looks like they are preparing for Noir in Ateneo Veneto?? @mmt-williams.bsky.social can’t see any red anoraks though thank goodness @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social
Sit under the air conditioning in the breeze from the door and enjoy…… Salute… @katyashman.bsky.social @mmt-williams.bsky.social @caroline-venezia.bsky.social @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social @rickturner.bsky.social
Is there any coincidence apart from Feragosto that @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social goes on his hols and so does The Corner Pub?? Not asking for a friend just parched!!
Oh no all this wandering makes this wind “wedi blino “ I just thought the last train announcement was Cymraeg and not Italiano! (wibble - left Manchester at 0600 bst!) @katyashman.bsky.social
