Before the lockdown I had rarely bought anything in amazon, but then …..
Lockdown basket
The fighter
Possibly resisting the cambrioleurs!
The lost sense of proportion
Some sport achievements are indeed quite epic. This is the case for a gold medal at the olympic games or for winning the Paris-Roubaix.
I can understand the emotions, the stress, the exhaltation but still, from big performers, one could expect some restraint.
Nowadays any limit seems to be forgotten. Maybe the pressure of media, may be the sponsors. But also the exagerated emphasis on such a result.
Sobriety seems not to be the prevailing custom anymore.

How is it possible that we never get someone that speaks less and produce something more?
The blog note of 2012 is exactly the same I would publish today ….

Looking at the two annurco apple trees we have in our garden we didn’t find any fruits, as usual, but we discovered two nests, one very well structured, the second a bit patchy.
We will follow up …..
And the ‘peperoni cruschi’ of course
The signature meal from Basilicata. Dried peppers to be passed only few seconds in olive oil. Very difficult to control the time.
‘Tette di monaca’ from Orbetello
The “nuns’ tits”, unforgettable from this seaside town in Tuscany. Pasticceria Ferrini.
The red ‘cipolla’ of Breme
The queen of onions from Pavia region.
‘Pizza rustica’, a family recipe
Only if invited for an informal meal in a family coming from the South. Infinite variations.
