The Extraordinary Ordinary - Italian Bookshops, Torino & Rome...


It's only been a few short weeks since my last travels, but I'm already missing and reminiscing about proper bookshops... 

Wouldn't it be grand to have a Kinokuniya (as they have in Dubai), or even the equivalent of Strand Books here in Doha..? 

One can always hope...

Small Bizarres No. 94 - Drinking Clay water, Cambiano, Italy


Recently, during a 'brick-making' workshop at the Carena Fornace in Cambiano, Italy, we had a chance to try/ drink some 'clay-water' made of clay found in the local (adjacent) quarry...

The flavor was something aching to - textured water... The claim is it's good for ones digestion... 

Good (interesting) times...
