#289 - My lucky day

Although the journey was shorter, we had no time to unpack, and we left for a barbecue with friends. In the morning, I was about to give in, as it was pouring in Milan, and I had tiredness that not even the Third World’s debt with the First.
But I resisted, and we set off since it then stopped raining and the weather was clement enough to take a nice walk....

#288 - Returning

The holiday was already over, the family was pretty quiet, and we didn’t step on our toes too much; I pity the weather that didn’t allow us to spend any time sunbathing by the lake.
So I remained mozzarella-coloured, apart from the slight mason’s tan on my arms (taken on the trip to Klausen).
There are a few scattered photos on Flickr of Tenna,...

#287 - I'm still alive

The Sabiona ascent was not so unbearable, and reaching the top was quite satisfying. Chiusa is also a lovely village, completely pedestrianised, and very characteristic. We also took a tour of Bolzano, a beautiful town. Fortunately, the sun assisted us, at least today....

#286 - If I don't die first

Yesterday we did an 8-kilometre uphill and downhill, with much satisfaction, taking advantage of the lull in the rain. Today just a walk in the centre.
Tomorrow, if I don’t change my mind, we should tackle the Sabiona climb. If I don’t write any more, you know why....

#285 - And it's raining

After the first two days of the holiday, in which the weather had spared us a bit, today it is raining non-stop, and at home, we are packed up, including Tito, the Peruvian guinea pig.
Meanwhile, yesterday a parcel arrived from England, quietly left on the letterbox outside. The figure of how different life in a tiny lakeside town can be compared to a city (not necessarily better,...

#284 - Ten years

I’ve been using Gmail for ten years now. Maybe it’s time to stop.

#283 - Many birds with one stone

By this post’s publication, I will already be on the train to the lovely location where I will spend my coveted holiday. Not for long, but at least I will have a change of scenery and air for a few days, and I will also be able to see the relatives, who are (almost) all gathered in one place for the occasion....

#282 - An almost complete make-up

I finally got the chance and inspiration to test some of the products I have taken in the last period.
In particular, I made a mess of mine for eyeshadow: on the mobile eyelid, I put Kiko’s Color-Up Long Lasting Eyeshadow, a long-lasting eyeshadow pencil, in the colour 8 Sinuous shell, and just above, blending it with the pencil and adding a little product at a time,...
