You may only need some small changes to get a new passion for it. Or perhaps, for a while, you should let it run on minimum effort and concentrate on your private life. Once that is set in the new place, you'll feel full of working energy again.artehttp://pioggiablu.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964136928534313674.post-66469199059182091552010-11-15T18:14:08.794+01:002010-11-15T18:14:08.794+01:00Vedo che hai seguito il mio consiglio;-) Bellissim...Vedo che hai seguito il mio consiglio;-) Bellissima, occhio alla civetta, secondo me te la ruba!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964136928534313674.post-33757615706553654752010-11-15T15:13:12.843+01:002010-11-15T15:13:12.843+01:00Yes!

But it was just too difficult - too heavy. I picked it up several times and had to stop within the first chapter or so.<br />Eventually the time came which was the 'right' time. I started it and found, suddenly, that I could read it and I read it all the way through. I loved it.<br />The time will come when you can read it and enjoy it. Don't worry.

It has to be sciapo. I cannot eat finocchiona without seeing myself in my grandma's food shop, on a summer morning, eating before crossing the street to the park where my friends were waiting.<br /><br />2)The smell of Knorr minestrone soup. I actually liked it, and had fantasies about eating it dry. Sick child.<br /><br />3) Soft, white whipped cream. We used to buy it (whipped) from the dairy shop close to our house. It was always my grandpa who suggested that. Every time I eat whipped cream I see this image of the shopowner's hands filling a little paper bucket and levelling the top with a flat spatula, and then packing the bucket in light green paper, wrapped with a thin ribbon, by which I was allowed to hold it all the way home.artehttp://pioggiablu.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964136928534313674.post-89640312317874526512010-11-08T15:58:56.224+01:002010-11-08T15:58:56.224+01:00@Lola

And how she always used to do two - one with sherry, which is the one I loved and make now and the other with fruit and jelly - which was for the 'kids' and, even though I was one, I always hated.<br /><br /><br />Lychees. I remember a birthday, when I was about 12 or 13 where my parents took me to a restaurant for a meal. I could choose - the one I chose was the only Chinese restaurant in Hereford at the time and I remember the Lychees because they were so exotic and I had never tasted anything like them before.<br /><br />Mussels: Being on holiday in Abersoch and going out early in the morning, picking mussels from the shore and bringing them back to the caravan where my father would cook them in milk. Delicious.Andyhttp://www.vandainmilan.comnoreply@blogger.com
