Hello all my dear friends across the globe who are reading this,
First of all even though I am not exactly a believer, I would like to wish you all a Great Christmas. I have not updated my blog in a while, but it's been a very busy time. I have had my exams to go through - boy that was a slog! Five exams in six days is not what I call humane or fun. But, sorry Prof Davison, I am SOOO pleased to see the back of you and accounting. Ah Accounting and I...It's like putting an hippopotamus on ice skates. Never ever EVER going to work.
I am now in Calabria for the festivities and I am taking a big hit this year since I will be spending 20 (yes no typo there) days here with dear Mum and Dad…Mum has actually broken her wrist so I will have a fair share of hospital visits whilst I am here. That also means that I have cooked the Christmas meal this year. A turkey!!! Well nothing special about a turkey right? Only thing is that being the manly man I am I had to go one up on last year when I killed the chicken. This year I had to kill the turkey!! Thing is - a turkey is a strong animal and my Dad is a stubborn old goat too! Why am I bringing my Dad into this? Because, since I was going to cut the turkey’s neck, he wanted me to keep the blood from the turkey (gruesome I know!!!) for the dogs…So, my Mum forces me to do it outside and there I am outside armoured with a knife, a bowl and the turkey (still alive). Mum and Dad are not going to help me so here I am with the turkey’s body stuck between my knees, I am holding the knife with my right hand and the neck with my right one. The turkey is trying its best to get the hell out of this and the dogs have gone in a frenzy as I am trying to kill the bird!
I look as if I am humping the turkey by now and as soon as the blood starts to flow, the dogs are all over the bowl and are also in the process of licking my hands, face and the turkey of course! A bloody mess is surely the right way to describe this/
NEXT YEAR IT’S GOT TO BE A PIG!
All for this little update, my next blog will be about taking stock on the current year and what I will do in the next.
Love and Peace

Oohhhh that sounded a bit cruel and hard work!!!
Unfortunately we also had to do things like this too in Sardinia, my mum is very practical and sharp on that.
I remember on Ferragosto they gave us an alive pink piglet as a gift. We were meant to have it nice and young for the festivity.
My dad liked it as it was very bubbly and so athletic an agile it could jump a fence!
We called it Timotheo...and the tiny little beast grew and grew....until we discovered it was a Timothea...hee hee...We managed to get her a mate and they had lovely 13 piglets.....we took them in a land we have and created a nice residency for them...and we ended up having 100s of them after a few years...and we started selling them!
They are all gone now.
Guess you could have done the same!
Ok that you dont like birds, but killing them!!! Come On!
Kidding ;)
Hope all is good with you!

Hey Lorena,
tutto a posto qui. Mi sto ancora ambientando, ma come avrai ben capito dal punto di vista dell'amore mi sto ambientando proprio bene!!! E Denver e tutto il Colorado mi aspettano con una certa ansia!!! Mi sembra di aver trovato uno proprio giusto sai?
Al limite piuttosto che il maiale, l'anno prossimo faccio fuori Dave! Ovvio che scherzo no!?
E a te come va? Spero tutto bene. Hai cambiato lavoro?
I have just realised that this is a comment to your comment...well write sometime and let me know how you are doing!
Hey ciao!
Ogni tanto seguo la tua telenovelas via blog :)
E' carino vedere i progressi nel tempo e avere diverse notizie.
Mi fa anche piacere sapere che ti sei ambientato. Ma hai iniziato a razarti allora ;) Dai scherzo!!!!
(Spero nessuno compromettente legge questi blog....!)
Io sto benino.
Nulla e' andato come previsto e ora devo forzare tutto verso la direzione voluta.
Ho lasciato il lavoro (che odiavo) e ho deciso di avere qualche tempo libero. Domani infatti parto per Helsinki. Staro' la' per un fine settimana lunga, giusto per visitare alcuni carissimi amici di la'.
Anche avere un cambio d'aria visto che intondo modificare tanto nella mia vita.
Ma ti raccontero' poi con piu' calma...ora sono un po' stanca. Oggi sono andata a fare uno di quei photo-shoot. Non ne avevo mai fatto uno, ma ho trovato uno di quelle offerte buy
-one-get-one-free in Last minute e ho deciso di andare con una amica. Ci siamo divertite tantissimo. LA cosa che mi ha un po meravigliato e' che c'erano tantissimi ragazzi per farsi le foto!
Ed io che pensavo che le ragazze erano piu' vanitose! Ma mi sbagliavo, e che scelta di ragazzi!! Ce n'erano anche per te! ;)
Comunque, buona fortuna con il Colorado!
Un bacione,
L
