@jamesb@fedi.duckduckpigeon.co.uk On the first note, I had to do scrolling to find the context on why you have a desktop on a bus. Work supplied Windows machine or something more interesting?

On the second, I’m currently in Italy and mozzarella is plentiful and cheap. I’m making a good go of finding out the answer and will let you know (or I suppose I won’t if the answer is yes).

    @jamesb@duckduckpigeon.co.uk @sam Fiano Romano. About 40 minutes North of Rome. We’re in a Eurocamp static caravan thing on a site with pools and stuff for the kids to play in. Done a couple of day trips into Rome to do the standard touristy things.

      Nice. I used to love Eurocamp (et al) type places as a kid/teenager. I keep thinking about doing one again. Probably south France.

      @jamesb@duckduckpigeon.co.uk My ginger wife is not enjoying the Italian summer heat. We’ll probably do somewhere a little cooler like France (although likely not south) next year.

        Le Vieux Port was probably my favourite one we went to. Great as a younger kid and as a 16 year old who spent most of the time getting pissed with other people I met. Messanges is quite a nice little town to walk into as well.

        I also did that most momentous act that a teenager can do on the beach there. Her name was Katie and she was from Chiswick.

        @jamesb@duckduckpigeon.co.uk Good tip. My kids are considerably younger but I will look into it. You were clearly an absolute player at 16. I cannot relate.😆
