misery is over

I am finally glad to announce that misery is over.And I don't mean Summer of course!It's just that whenever I come back from super,great, incredible holidays I feel miserable.

Tonight is the first night of fall in this little hot country I live.The first night I can hear the rain falling outside and it actually feels nice just being inside.

I have so many things to write about my summer,it's just that I never write when I 'm having fun.

It's weird,I actually write more while I am bored.But that isn't such a clever thing to do in a blog.I would prefer reading about exciting things and not about staying in and cooking..

But anyway...

I was lucky enough to go to the greatest tiny festival : indietracks!In Derbyshire , UK , where I saw among others allo darling,the smittens ,pains of being pure at heart, white town, stars of aviation, the pooh sticks, mexican kids at home who played in a train carriage,slow club and the ultimate surprise,cineplexx!

After that I flew with the boy (he likes it when I call him that...) to Zurich,Switzerland.
We spent ten perfect days there, just walking around and visiting many weird places.(did you know that the most dangerous street in Europe is in clean and calm Zurich?Well we should know cause we were walking there and we thought we were going to get murdered..)

Then we took the train to Paris, where we stayed for 3 days and saw Jens Lekman playing live . We also met two friends there who live in Barcelona .Europe really is a big city after all.
We followed Jens in a small but beautiful bar where he was djing,where we managed to enter after a misunderstanding  with the security guard who was offended  because we couldn't understand his English ...Well I tried to speak his language and he was so touched that he finally let us in..

And that's how i met Jens Lekman!He is a charming man.

Ok, where were we?We left Paris,went back to Zurich for a good night's rest  and the next morning headed to Venice!Spent almost two days there and then back here..

But i had more time so I spent more than two weeks in the islands.And I have to admit that's the place anyone should be during summer..

After that came the studying...But not much to say about it.

Two days ago my best friend left to London...again.I can't wait to visit her.


hopefully I 'll be bored enough from now on so I will post more often.

city bike

About a month ago I purchased a beautiful bike from a small underground shop near my home. It wasn't expensive at all and it is so beautiful that I just couldn't resist.I didn't even look in another shop.

They told me that they are the only ones in my country to sell these bikes(it's a cinzia bombi retro bike) and that they import them directly from the Italian company.

Well I thought they were just trying to sell it but apparently it's true!I just found out that the bicycles of  this company from Osteria Grande on the outskirts of Bologna are available only in a few stores worldwide.

I feel so lucky!

Enough with words.Here's a picture of it I found here.I haven't taken a picture of it yet.

Today I had one of the most beautiful days I've had in weeks just riding around the city with my boy riding next to me.I felt liberated.

It was amazing.

Have a nice week!

On the road

Now that it's officially summer again I started reading Kerouac ...again...I love the way he describes his adventures,it makes me feel as if I'm a part of them.
\But I'm telling you, I'll be living my own unforgettable adventures this summer and they'll be even better than those described in his books.

All these after summer exams of course.

Anyway,these are some pictures I thought were lost for ever from my light hearted days of the year.Aka the best days of the year..

surf!

I have noticed recently that bands who play surf pop are so popular right now!And I couldn't be more satisfied!Days here are beautiful and sunny and sometimes I think I can even smell summer in the air(you know,this smell of salt combined with sunscreen:it's enough to make you dream of sunny beaches.)and what's a better soundtrack for these days than songs about surfing and long nights on a beach around the fire.

bands to listen to so that you can achieve this beautiful feeling:surfer blood,suckers,real estate,girls(of course!),drums and many many more.As time goes by more of these bands will appear!
