As soon as I returned home, I went upstairs to open the windows and shutters in the bedroom and study. After a sunny day, the house needed cooling down. It was piping hot.

My mechanical movement tells a lot about today’s heat. I do not remember anything like this happening any summer since I moved to Motovun twelve years ago, and I arrived in the middle of the summer.
