Land Ho!
The day before yesterday my dad had a visit from some of the other men in the village. There was an abandoned boat by the side of the road, it had been there for years, so long that people used it as a landmark when giving directions. One of the men who lives higher up the mountain decided that finally, after all this time, he wanted the boat and he went around the village asking for help in moving it to his farm.
There were a few of them, including my father and The Milanese as well as some of the more established locals. They dragged and pushed the wooden boat up the mountain, through bushes and across scrubland. Off road, but always up the the mountain...
It's sitting near his house now, waiting to be repaired, and then, who knows?

What were you doing, watching?
heh! I don't want to get in the way of any 'Last of the summer wine' style shenanigans. Besides, they didn't ask me to help.
"Last of the Summer Wine" - LoL!!
Also vaguely reminiscent of "Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai", although not quite as cool and urban. Actually, I reckon God's tapped one of the Aullan peasantry to be the next Noah, then who'll be laughing, eh?
Looking forward to seeing you in a few, dude... text or mail me with details and stuff
MZA
