The last 12 days before returning from these "vacations". It is difficult for me to give a semi-final evaluation and response of this summer period spent between home in the province of Turin and here, Sardinia.
I have certainly suffered the heat, several weeks with headaches every day (both before leaving and once I arrived here) then, even if I am near the sea, it seems I have taken a strong allergy that I remember even since last year. From the nose completely closed I then went to cough and to bother what I think is the trachea area, it took more than a new week to recover from these last symptoms.
Last year I saw and found for the first time in 36 years what I am convinced were a series of violin spiders in the bedroom, for several evenings. In the end, as I went down to the small square in the port, I bought a maximum raid on cockroaches and ants, which is also valid for spiders (there is an explicit indication) with a prevention duration of about four weeks and it actually seems that I had resolved. This year I found some unidentified spiders at first but everything disappeared after the first immediate house cleaning.
Yesterday I started to renew the cleaning in my room and finished the can of raid max, I looked for it both here and in the nearby country but I couldn’t find it anymore and I didn’t even find convincing products to replace it. It seems that the poisons they sell in shops and supermarkets are only for cockroaches, ants, and flying insects. I have not found a product with indication of prevention and defense from spiders except some spray to spray directly on the insect when you see it but this is not the utility I need.
After my discovery last year I noticed that a lot has been said about the violin spider and I find strange also the coincidence that this year I can’t find the poison to keep the spiders away. The news reported at least two dead people — a carbiner and a young man aged twenty - three. Yet shops, at least here, seem to have no produce to keep spiders away. Here in Sardinia then I can not even order the can on Amazon because as a flammable product, it does not arrive. I believe that because they do not have warehouses with those products on the island, even if I find it absurd.
This morning I woke up early and looking out at the terrace I heard of the meows of some kittens that we have not yet been able to see but of which we know Mom. I changed my slippers and went into the garden following the myogoli. Mother cat ran fast from one side to the other and in a short time I found myself attacked by what I think were wasps, there was a swarm in front of me and one was buzzing in my hair and seemed to have no good intentions.
I tried to drive her away but I couldn't and so I ran away but, in running away, I injured my foot. Today I fear it will be a long day when the group here in the family will go on a day trip (morning and afternoon) at sea and I will remain alone, without a car and with a day to pass. I'm not from the beach, when I go there in a few minutes I do my swimming average and then not even the time to dry and go home for a shower.
I still don't know what I'm gonna do this morning and today, we'll see.
