In just a little over a couple of hours Marghe will bring here little princess Eva and then my New Year’s holidays will be complete (glad they traveled today because yesterday it took us A LIFE to arrive in Ortisei from Florence. Swifty has received just half an hour ago a video message (yes… I video message my horse… so what? ? ). Nut is back home, we haven’t brought him here unlike we did in Florence because we would be at risk of losing him in the snow… and then my parents are really good at pampering him when we are not home.
We have had our great fun in the snow this morning and basically we are very excited to celebrate New Year with all of the crew reunited (we move towards Cortina tomorrow for the party… I love there but I love more to have our little cozy place in this way quieter town in the valley )) I’me feeling so grateful as I watch the woods burn in the fireplace and while K&I are taking a sweet time going through all of our filmed 2012 moments (total of caught on video life bites… – NO KIDDING – 211.5 HOURS! More than 40 minutes for each day. We’re ending it over the magic surroundings of Dolomiti, after we’ve got to spend a wonderful Xmas with both my parents and K’s in Florence… then we also enjoyed a wonderful break there by ourselves after they left being all loved up and witnessing my favorite ballet (Swan Lake) at Teatro Verdi. So… in a bunch of hours this 2012 will end. Karim parents’ have been here also for the Scala Première… it has been simply perfect and I did enjoy more Wagner personally we’ve spent time with the people we love and we have also taken care of our new Ortisei House (a bijoux) and of adorable Nut (he starting to live up to the crazy version of his name ? and we love it… the house is happier now that he is here… Swifty keeps being unfazed by him but Nut is trying to be friends ? let’s see )) I loved to enjoy Milano under snow as well… it gets so beautiful when everything switches from stone to fairly pearly white, and the monuments seem made of ice ? The highlights of December in Z&K’s life have been the usual ones (I am kinda routinely in this month more than in others i have come to acknowledge). Now let’s go back to the proper post I was having in mind to write… Unite along me in the memory of her greatness: Not unexpectedly… she was over 100 years old…īut I am a scientist and a woman and you can guess the fact I was 1 when she won the Nobel Prize was a sign for me in so many ways, I would later develop a proper worshipping of her her brain, her style, her class, her devotion and passion to the mankind and FOR mankind. I was all up to write a super happy post.īut as I began to write after coming back to our little gem house of Ortisei after snowy happy morning… I read and watched news and I got struck with the one that amazing Rita Levi Montalcini has passed away. Take it as a further little homage to the wrapping of the year (sorry for non Italians… I am actually sad none of you can appreciate the perfection that Benigni is).
I wish I could have found also the amazing show Roberto Benigni put up for Rai 1 earlier this month (about our Constitutional Law… amazing) but unfortunately the only way to broadcast that is this one (not my video but check it because it’s amazing :)): Please tho… be also charitable and help those in need by downloading the album that helps Sandy’s victims. I had to put the 121212 Concert up… after we went to The XX at Alcatraz the start of this month I was thinking no musical experience could have topped it (at least for Deecember 2012) but then I witnessed that gig and went overcrazy and I decided it was a must to make all of you seeing/hearing it.Īfter all music is my greatest passion and if you know me you weren’t surprised I chose a musical kind of little gift for you all the other day. Yes yes… I kept my word and came in to sneak a proper post after the Xmas Extravagant Gifting one.
