Day One: Book cover

Here we go! Another NaPoWriMo is upon us, one whole month of poems a day. It will be my 6th such April in a row, but the campaign is 20 years old. Extremely well done! And none of it is a joke. Prompt 1: They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but

Thursday Doors 23/3/23: Capalbio Scalo primary school 1.

When I returned from my summer vacation in Slovenia last September, the primary school in our little town held not one but three surprises. One of them concerns a certain door that used to make me mad. A convenient shortcut to the train station, which passes through the school courtyard, I have often taken in

Thursday not really Doors 16/3/23: Capalbio Scalo

Previous week I showed you our train station and once I was there, I took the long way home. It lasted an hour to reach it. I wish to show you my walk, no matter that there were not many doors to speak of. But first: Take the fibre, they said. It will be fast,

With this post all my last year’s doors worth showing have been showed. Now I’ll really need to go somewhere new. I had a quick look through all my last year’s folders (there are not as many any more) and rescued the last doors that I haven’t showed yet. They are all from around here

Happy birthday, travelling uncle!

Let’s have a look at the past year in red and green. You always need to wear this red shirt when we go to nature! First you came to pick me up in Tuscany in June and then delivered me back safely three and a half months later, when we went on our memorable daytrip

January 2022

Here we go, back in time for one year again. This is the beginning of my seventh Calendar series. It’s true that I don’t take as many photos as I used to, but finding twenty last January photos that I wish to gather in this post was not hard. It starts with the first photo

Last photos of December and best news of 2022

Yes, this is now. Here are two last photos of the past year taken with my camera and my phone, plus quite an astonishing piece of news. How are you in the new year? We had amore’s father over here in the wilderness of Tuscany, we ate well, there were zero noises from the outside

Happy you day

Amore, if you are happy, everybody is. Christmas is just an extra. Not much happened to us this past year, but they say peace is good for the eyes. Happy everything for your birthday, amore, especially nothing bad. Merry Christmas to everybody! Stay warm and safe and happy.
