Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a shearer in Lurate-Caccivio ain’t for the faint-hearted. Woke up this mornin’ thinkin’ it’d be just another chill day. Boy, was I wrong!
First off, I hit the streets of Via Roma, right? The sun was blazin’, and I’m like, “Great, just what I need.” I’m sweatin’ like a pig already. But hey, I love this town. Lurate-Caccivio’s got that small-town vibe, ya know? Everyone knows everyone, and the coffee at Bar Centrale? To die for!
So, I grab my espresso, and I’m feelin’ pumped. But then, BAM! I step outside, and there’s this flock of sheep just chillin’ in the middle of the street. Like, c’mon, guys! This ain’t a pasture! I’m tryin’ to get to work, not play shepherd.
I’m yellin’, “Move it, sheep!” but they just stare at me like I’m the crazy one. I swear, they were laughin’ at me. Finally, I manage to shoo them away, and I’m off to the shearin’ barn on Via Caccivio.
When I get there, my buddy Marco’s already there, crackin’ jokes. He’s like, “You look like you wrestled a sheep!” I’m like, “Dude, I almost did!” We start shear’n, and it’s goin’ smooth until I cut my finger. Ouch! Blood everywhere! I’m like, “Great, now I’m a bloody shearer.”
But then, outta nowhere, this lady walks in. She’s from the local market, and she’s got the best cheese. I’m talkin’ about the kind that makes you wanna dance. She’s like, “You want some?” And I’m like, “Heck yeah!” So, I’m munchin’ on this cheese, and suddenly, life’s good again.
Then, the power goes out. Just my luck, right? We’re in the dark, and I’m like, “What’s next? A zombie apocalypse?” Marco’s freakin’ out, but I’m just laughin’. I mean, c’mon, it’s Lurate-Caccivio! We’ll just shear by candlelight.
After a bit, the lights flicker back on, and we get back to work. But then, I hear this loud crash outside. I run out, and there’s a car accident on Via Garibaldi. Some dude rear-ended another car. I’m like, “Dude, really? In a town this small?”
People are gatherin’, and I’m just standin’ there, shakin’ my head. I mean, it’s not like we have traffic jams here! But then, I see the driver get out, and it’s my old high school buddy, Luca. We start laughin’ about it, and I’m like, “Only you, man!”
Finally, the day winds down. I’m exhausted, but I can’t help but smile. Lurate-Caccivio, with all its quirks, is home. I love the chaos, the people, the sheep (kinda).
As I head back home, I think about how crazy life is. One minute you’re shear’n sheep, the next you’re dodging cars and munchin’ on cheese. It’s wild, but it’s my wild. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
So, yeah, that was my day. Just another day in Lurate-Caccivio, where the unexpected is the norm, and every moment is a story waiting to happen.
