Blood will Flow

Found the apartment on Trip Advisor, and the Bologna one via Airbnb - both are really good though that Ravenna one was especially lovely. I'll definitely be looking at both those routes for future travel!

As for the family dynamics - Mum is pretty deaf (even with the hearing aids) and Paul tends to talk too fast and too quietly (I can't understand him half the time), so this makes for interesting interactions. Plus Mum is annoying him with her constant fussiness - none of the coffee she's had so far has been right, the weather's too cold, she's got this asthmatic permanent cough which is wearing to be around and now she's reached her eighties, she's slowed down terribly! It all adds up to one big irritation for him! LOL
