I am sad today September 8, 2007

Today I have returned to Istanbul after spending 3 months in Italy with Lorenzo and his family. Turning back to my lonely life isn’t easy at all. I already missed everyone soooo much.

Today I got up at 5am…I got on the plane at 7 am from Florence to Roma. I arrived Roma at 7.30. Then I waited till 10 am for my plane to go to Istanbul. I was in Istanbul at 13.30. The Alitalia plane was extremely small and uncomfortable. But I got very surprised that we were on time.

I took a taxi to go to the port…I had to take a boat to cross the Bosphorus because my house is in Asia and the airport is in Europe. The port was extremely extremely crowded…During the time I spent in Italy I forgot what “crowded” means…Istanbul reminded me today…I hate it…I hate sharing every squaremeter with at least one person…I miss the tranquility of Italy already…

I miss warm hugs of Lorenzo…

Agostino took this photo for me in Milano. There’s the reflection of the street a bit but it’s ok. Thanks a lot Agostino!

Chaotic Day with Kids August 31, 2007

Yesterday cousin’s of Lorenzo came to visit us. Oh my…it was incredibly tiring day. They can’t spend more than 15 minutes playing with the same thing. They always try to discover new things at home. There’s 6 years old Tommaso always wants to drive our golf car in the garden, he hits furnitures trees…There’s 1 year old Emma strolling on the pavement, crying…Then there’s 3 years old Margherita always wants to do the same things which Tommaso does. Then she wants to see my jewellery bag, she wants to try everything inside it, she wants to make up, she wants me to give some of my jewellery to her as a present. ” mi regali questo?” ” Perche non mi regali questi?” And she asks always what’s that what’s this…and when you try to explain, she asks always why..” perche?” “perche?”

“why is this pillow fixed on the hummock?”

” Because it falls and Otto ( the dog) takes it away “

“Why does Otto take it away?”

” Because Otto wants to play”

“Why does Otto want to play?”

“Because……….uhm…..”

Margherita and Lorenzo playing with legos. Margherita says : ” Built a house for me” Lorenzo builts and asks ” How’s it?” She says : ” I dont like.” and it goes on like this. She always says: ” I dont like”

Otto steals pieces of lego and distroys them chewing

Emma and Otto =))
