Recently i discovered the libary close to where we live. Now did i misunderstood and thought that lettura inglese meant english books, but it actually meant english books translated in italian. So i have to give in if i want to keep reading i need to learn to read in italian. So i borrowed Kingdom of the Golden Dragon from Isabel Allende. And to my own suprise i am managing to read that and actually understanding the story and liking it.

This morning my husband suprised me with a nice card . And for me it is the thought that counts. I do like tha idea of a day where u can tell the person you love that you love them, but i do not like the commercialism around it. The amounts of money involved and nearly making u feel bad that you do not spend that money on something stupid.

For me the best gift is still that i wake up next to my husband almost every morning and that i fall asleep next to him at night. And that feeling you can not buy with all the money in the world.

Today I had to pick up Joshua early from school, because he was not feeling well. When i arrive the teacher approaches me that he did not do his homework and she wants him to redo it today. Ok is fine.

But my problem is that they should write down what schould be done properly in the dairy and that the teacher should check that. 
Becuase he had written page 62 and the name of the book. Now is the problem that the name of the book is the name of the serie, so he has 5 books with the same name the only difference is  they are numbered one till five, and have different colours.

So he did the wrong page 62…..

Then he also had to do something with verbs. The last weeks he had to study them by heart, so that is what he had done…no this time it had to be written down…..

I am really sorry but i can not read minds yet, but it might be a good thing if i would develop that gift……

You have these moments in live that feel like turning points. For me is one going on now, getting a new sense of understanding, growth maybe. The last couple of months i have been struggeling a bit with myself not knowing where to go and what do next. Now both my kids are gone to school.

And now slowly I am becomming myself again, maybe it is because of the homeopatic medecins, the not milk diet dont know. I do know that I am feeling better then i have done in months. I finally put adds up to give english lessons i made myself this site. I am enjoying studing again. I feel good and am slowly figuring out what I am going to do next in live. But whatever it is it is going to be good. 

I hate localized websites, especially when I need to do something. In fact it is one of the reasons I am changing my site to here. I would at least like to have a choice to change the language without to much hasstle.

For example my blog at Live spaces it automatically shows all in Italian, the only way to change the layout in English is to log in from a live site that is already in English. But if I want to go from messenger to my site it goes in Italian and no way you can change it……or if someone knows how to please tell me because after a couple of hours searching I gave up.

I am afraid there is not much i can do against this, apart from not visiting those websites.

I personalised the theme a bit and added a link to my flickr photo album, and took some anit spam measures….hope they work…

So lets see if this works, it should.

This is taken on my third birthday. or atleast the 8mm movie was, and Daniele took a picture of that movie

Having more time for myself now both the boys are going to school. I am trying out new stuff and a starting this new blog/site. Where instead of talking about Italy and my life in it, because to be honest apart from some things it is not that much different then my life before or maybe it is………well Ijust make it a place where i can let my thoughts flow……

This is one of our favorites when there are fresh strawberries available.

Ingredients

500 gr of marscapone
200 ml cream
150 gr sugar
500 gr strawberries washed and cut in half
a pack of savoiardi
2 cups of coffee
a glass bakingdish

First you mix the marscapone with the cream and the sugar untill smooth.
Then you dip the savoiardi one at the time in the coffee and make a layer in the bakingdish.
When you have one layer finished cover them with a thin layer of the marscapone mixture.
Then you lay another layer of savoiardi dipped in coffee, then marscopne mixture adn on till the marscapone mixture is finished.
The final layer should be of the marscapone mixture. Then you spread the strawberries over the top and you put the dish in the fridge for about 6 hours. I normally take it out of the fridge half an hour before serving.

Enjoy
