Soooo, I know I'm probably too excited about it, but here are the two beauties!!! Quickly growing up by now, one of them already booked by my cousin Silvia, I can't wait to see the next ones!!! Two eggs are already in the nest, so in a couple of weeks time we'll have a few more little ones sto think about...

What else? We've booked our weekend in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, to go to my friend Olga's wedding... can't wait to be there! We haven't been seriously on holiday since 2004 and I really feeling like having a nice rest... but I'm working this year as well, I wished we could go in September, but Luca will probably be VERY busy in that period, so I don't think we'll manage. But I might be going to London (Xenia permitting), or maybe Scotland (Marco permitting...) for a week or so, just to relax. I wish Luca was there too, though.
Luca is in Athens tonight... for those of you who doesn't know (and live in another planet, i.e. Marco ;)) it's the Champions League final!!!! Sony has invited him over there and as far as I know, he's been having a great day today! And eating great food! If I think that when I met him, he would not eat anything that wasn't strictly Italian... lucky to meet me that guy!!! He always enjoys trying foreign food when he travels abroad and he even liked Paté de Fois Gras last time he was in Paris!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Well, we'll hear what he says when he gets back...
bye bye!!!

two little ones

Here they are! my two little Canary Birds! They are 14 days old, but already quite big, as you can see... They are very sweet and both look like their father... (gloster corona)
The parents are ready to... to... "make" new eggs (??)... definately not the right verb, but you get the message. Anyone want a bird???? Please, avoid cheeky comments, thanks!!! ;)

Ecco i primi due canarini figli della mia coppia dei gloster... hanno 14 giorni e sono enormi! Nel giro di una settimana dovrebbero uscire dal nido e cominciare ad alimentarsi da soli entro il mese. Intanto stamattina ho assistito ad un nuovo accoppiamento dei genitori e così oggi dovrò attrezzarmi con un nuovo nido, sennò si mettono a spennarmi questi qui e li scacciano dal nido per deporre di nuovo... poi non ho ancora deciso se lasciare che si schiudano anche le nuove uova...

AHHHH!!!! Che meraviglia!!! Due passerotti in terrazzo che mangiano le bricioline cadute dalla gabbia dei canarini! E uno è una mamma che imbocca il piccolo!!! Che giornata meravigliosa mi si prospetta... prima l'accoppiamento, poi mentre pulivo la gabbia imbeccavano tranquillamente i piccoli e ora mamma passero imbecca il suo davanti ai miei occhi... scusate, ma queste meraviglie della natura mi emozionano sempre!!!

e comunque... qualcuno vuole un canarino??? Per sapere come saranno da grandi, cercate nel blog le foto dei genitori e lo saprete! Vi dico già che uno ha il ciuffo e uno no. Nei negozi costano anche 25 euro i canarini gloster, io ovviamente li regalo a chi me li chiede!!!

news...

Just a quick word from work... everything is going fine, but I've been struggling to get used to the different shifts: nights, days, afternoons, evenings... and so I don't have much time left to relax on my blog!!!
Good thing is that I found out there is actually somebody else reading it!!! My cousin Nicoletta!!! Thanks Nicky for taking your time and reading!!! Anyway, I'll see you in a couple of weeks (May, 19th) and I'll tell you all the news...
I love this job. And I really like most of the people I work with. You cannot actually like everyone, but do try to get along with them all. There's plenty of stuff to learn, which I find very stimulating, and Summer is coming, so the traffic will increase considerably in the next few weeks... meaning that I'll probably be busier than now!

The other news is that Luca has left the flat in Milan and we are living together again! As a normal couple! Apart from the fact that when I work at night I leave when he gets back and get back when he leaves. ..tough!!!

talk to you soon!
