Where are there?  Why there are no more persons that people could listen at and may be disagree with;  respecting them anyway.

People who could take positions going against the mainstream but not just to be in the next TV show or to ‘cash up’ after few minutes.

Pasolini, Sciascia, Moravia: one could like them or not, agree or not , but they did exist and played a role.

Now their role is taken by comedians, TV figures and fotball players.

Intellect seems not to be a valuable asset for the future.  Poor us.

…. but now I can’t remember any of them.

We went to Canarias, more precisely Lanzarote, and it was good, but this is not a meaningful comment.

Here in Belgium is raining and it is cold, but that is no news.

Our dog survived a first week into a ‘pension’ ….. who cares?

Finally, we will soon buy a cupboard. It will come from the same set as the table.  This is quite news, but dubiously interesting little away from the family circle.

I may remember afterwords.

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.
