What made me smile during October 2016

So, 4 days of holidays in front of me. FOUR DAYS. A dream.
I need soooo much this precious time for myself and my Mr.
But, before October ends, I want to remember some things that put a smile in my face in this month:
- I read BFG by Roald Dahl: I know it's a book written for children, but sometimes I need to read (and watch) relaxing things: BFG is perfect.
- We have a new plant addiction, ready for winter
- When at evening I come back home, I drive in front of a vegetable shop, that cooks chestnuts. I don't like their taste, but they have an heavenly smell....so, when I drive in that street I slow down, I turn down the window and I smell as much as I can
- Pumpkins, mushrooms, cauliflowers....I love you
- An afternoon in Ferrara with my sister, my brother-in-law and my Mr where we saw the wonderful exhibition "Orlando Furioso 500 years - What Ariosto saw when he closed his eyes?"
 I totally loved it, and I thought that I'm living in a world without poetry, with too much tecnology.
 I hope you had a great October too!


Ho quattro giorni di vacanza in fronte a me. Mi aspettano QUATTRO giorni di ferie. Un sogno.
Al lavoro è stato un periodo abbastanza denso ed impegnaivo, quindi ho proprio bisogno di un po' di tempo per me e per il mio Mr.
Però, prima che Ottobre finisca e lasci il posto a Novembre, volevo scrivere e ricordare le cose che durante questo mese mi hanno fatto sorridere, quelle piccole gioie che danno una gende felicità:
- Ho letto il GGG di Roald Dahl: so che è un libro per piccoli, ma avevo letto una parte della sua biografia e devo dire che mi ha colpito, così ho deciso di rifugiarmi nella lettura di un libro rassicurante e che mi ha fatto tornare bambina per un po'
- Abbiamo una nuova piantina, pronta ad affrontare l'inverno nella nostra terrazza
- Quando alla sera tono a casa dal lavoro, costeggio un negozio di frutta e verdura, che durante il periodo autunnale cucina le castagne. Non mi piace il sapore delle castegne, ma il loro profumo è inebriante. Così, ogni sera, quando passo davanti a questo negozio, ralleno, abbasso il finestrino e lascio che questo pofumo entri in macchina e mi accompagni a casa
- Zucche, funghi, cavolfiori....grazie per essere tornati
- Domenica scorsa, io e il Mr siamo andati a Ferrara con mia sorella e mio cognato a vedere la mostra "Orlando Furioso 500 anni. Cosa vedeva Ariosto quando chiudeva gli occhi?". E' una mostra ch emi è piaciuta da impazzire, ci sono quadri meravigliosi, con l'audio guida si abbandona la realtà e si vola in un'altra epoca, dove non c'era la tecnologia, ma c'erano quadri, peomi, ed opere bellissime. Mi è piaciuta tantissimo la prima cartina geografica.
Se capitate da quelle parti, visitate la mostra che merita davvero.

I really love...(April 2015)

I love weekend mornings.
Mr sleeps, and I have the whole house for me.
I blog, I browse blogs I love, I read about photography, I listen to some music, and I relax.
Since Mr and I moved in, I had a little time for myself.
There's always something for the house that we have to do, or we have to buy.
But the early weekends mornings are all for myself!

So, here everything is good.
1. I love the sunlights that pass through the window
2. I love taking care of my plants
3. I love the sun that shines
4. I love wearing flats
5. I love life with Mr
6. I love running
7. I love inviting friends for showing them our house
8. I love Mr that build an Ikea funiture
9. I love taking photos
10. I love flowers around our house

I really love...November 2014! :)



Well, well, this month I haven't been present in this blog, but it's for a loot of good reasons!
I think I will love November 2014, and I will always remember this month with a smile on my face....
1. On Tuesday 11th I signed my first labor contract, no more internships for me!!!!!!! I think this could be the only reason to fall in love with this month....
2. Friday 28th will be the last day of my internship, starting from December 1st, I'm going to have a personal badge, paid holiday, I can park my car inside the park of my firm....
3. I can grow up, in the way I always thought it would happen. I can go living with Mr, with my own money, and we can start to face everything together.
4. I bought 3 cds of Christmas songs for 4.99€
5. Less then a month to Christmas
6. I love spending time pinning wonderful photos on pinterest
7. Baking muffins! (as you saw on my instagram page)
8. House-hunting
9. Listening to my Mr laughing at the phone, because I ask him if he wants that I buy a fridge, a washing machine, a dishwasher.....
10. Crispy air, winteris coming, and this year I'm happy about it.

Everlasting Light *


Hope your week was good, but I hope you're having a bright weekend!

I know, tomorrow is Friday, but to me Friday is somehow better than Saturday...Friday evening has a special taste!

Well I put some nail polish, black this time (you know I'm a rebel) I'm listening to some good music, I'm looking forward the moment when I'll be under my blankets, and I'll read my book.

This was a good week: I met friends, my family, I run, I watched 2 episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" with my Mr yesterday evening, in 2 months it's going to be Christmas, today was cold, and I liked it, I drank the second hot chocolate of the season, I looked at the sky very frequently, because it is breathless. The only thing I didn't do and I really wanted to do, was taking photos, but don't worry, the weekend is looooong.... :)

Mushrooms

Mushrooms, this year I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Yesterday was a good day! The sun shined, and I could enjoy a little piece of  fall walking trough my little park, and taking some photos!

Happy little things!

It's better focus on little happy things!

Ma cosa hai messo nel caffè?

I met so many people in these days!!!
That's why I didn't update my blog!
Tonight no photography class, so here I am!
You have to know that my "photography teacher", is the one that took the official photos of my cousins' wedding.
And looking at the official photos, I found some of me and my Mr...so I asked him if he could give me them, and I've got them! (just 3 but they're enough!)
Anyway... here you find the one I like more...because that's how we really are!!! I love my Mr because with him everything looks better, because my future with him is full of light and has no shadows, because every song I listen to reminds me of him, because, of course, he's my Mr, and I cannot add more but...thank you for being by my side, Mr!!!

Quando una pietra miliare parigina torna a Padova....

Dovete sapere che l'adorabile ragazza che è ritratta nella foto con il Mr, è una delle mie cugine:
dal momento che la signorina vive a Parigi, quando torna a casa cerchiamo di vederci almeno una volta, ma ieri abbiamo deciso di fare le cose in grande.....
Quindi: carne a volontà, due barbeque che lavorano ininterrottamente per 3 ore, birra e vino che scorrono a fiumi, frutta e dolci perchè il dessert non può mai mancare, e una casa piena di ricordi a cui se n'è aggiunto un altro....ecco gli ingredienti per una grigliata perfetta.

Adesso tutti sapete perchè le costicine erano così croccanti...
Mia sorella
Inizia il gioco delle coppie.....siccome sono una cialtrona, non ho fotografato una coppia, ma ho rimediato...trovate subito la coppia non fotografata ieri... (le coppie,a dire il vero, ma una non è stata fotografata perchè assente per lavoro, ma ho rimediato anche nel loro caso!)


Loro non c'erano perchè lavoravano, ma una foto se la meritano!!!(grazie per gli spiedini! : D)
E' l'unica scompagnata, quindi.....

A quando la prossima?
