The red eye beckons

As does the linguine, Peroni and volcano.

Yep, back at that "should be asleep by now" moment - our carriage awaits on the 4.08am Clapham-Gatwick express.

This time tomorrow we will no doubt be sleeping fitfully in the heat of a Palermo night. Whether it's any less fitful than the recent days in London remains to be seen, although I believe they have discovered air conditioning in residential areas over there.

Will catch up on our return - would hazard a guess that you won't even notice I'm gone.

Ciao, etc.
