It is July, almost August.  Being at work is quite boring. And the sky is gray.

5 chairs, one was broken and will join later.  Made by wood and straw, painted off white, as if they were old.  New fashion.

They are not unconfortable, we will see.

I felt prisoner already….

A tooth has gone.  Forever.  First of a series. Sob.

        As most of migrants, I have planted in the new country some edible plants too.

Unfortunately, local insects (probably xenophobes) came infesting my plantation of basil.

Chemicals were, of course, prevented by the plants aim (I mean, eating). Therefore, we decided to use biological weapons: we captured a couple of ladybirds (or ladiesbird?) and carefully positioned them among the precious leaves.

And there they are,  since 4 days, chomping (I hope) the hideous aphids.

And in the garden, some flowers were breaking the curtain of cold (unfortunately the photo does not reflect the colours and freshness of those flowers, but we were there….).

Of course, this blog is in English, but someone can explain why the Campaign on Poverty Eradication in Italy had to use that ‘poverty’ in English, rather than the more clear ‘povertà’ in old and rusty Italian?
‘Poverty’ labelling makes real poverty more fashionable? Less scaring, or make more appealing the plea for joining the fight against it?
The call to action is left in Italian, may be because nobody really expect that someone will pay attention.

Here some red birds.
