Time

My mother is sick and I'm finding it hard to blog for some reason, bear with me...

Looking at old slides I came across this... my mother's parents on their last visit on the terrace in Warsaw Poland, 1983

My mother is much frailer looking now than they were then and a year later they were both gone... =(

Can I turn the clock back a bit please?

My Bag and what I carry with me...

Someone on Facebook asked what we carry in our hand bags and my list was long... but my bag is not huge. So I thought I'd show you.

The bag is a Lowepro Passport Sling... genius!

This is what is usually inside:

Wallet, keys, mobile phone, Ipod, adress book, notebook or two, sun glasses and reserve glasses in case the ones I'm wearing break, and a foulard.

            A knitting project bag with printed instructions...

       Medicine... thyroid, aspirin... 

Indispensable notions such as stitch markers, scissors, measuring tape, Chibi-needles, a few USB memories and such...

A sort of pencil case: lip gloss (unused) eye-glasses repair kit, pens etc.

An ancient little case with all sorts of useless things that have followed me for 30 years... a sort of memory pouch =) Each object has it's story... and the stones have been levigated by the years spent in my bag.

And ofcourse my Nikon lens AND the Nikon that I used to take these photos... 

The bag is a sort of Mary Poppins bag... it doesn't look big but it's almost bottomless. 

Our August Houseguests

Cacao... Who would have thought that a python enjoys the gorillpod massage?

 

      And Pain & Panic (Remember them from Disney's Hercules?)

WE

Luca, Tea, Minerva, Raffaella, Marco, Nini, Matteo, Aurora

San Cesario di Lecce

     These are all taken without getting out of the driver's seat...  sitting in the car waiting for Matteo outside the dentist's office.
