Mediterranean sea bass in a day of anguish!


Mediterranean sea bass in a day of anguish!

This morning I woke up with anguish in my heart. I had bad dreams in the last 2 nights... would say better NIGHTMARE. I am touched by what is happening in Myanmar and for other things touching our family... Moreover I still don't feel at my 100% and feel weak by the antibiotics cure.
Today I work at the so called 'central shift' which means I start working at 1pm until 9. I hate this shift. It takes me the whole day.
I decided to indulge in bed until 9. After the morning cleaning I went in the kitchen to prepare my infusion of blackcurrant, ginseng and vanilla and put the boiler on fire...
After that I was taken by a superior strenght, wear the apron on and started cutting vegetables...
I didn't mean to cook... not at 10 in the morning... I didn't want to but... something mastered my gestures. Now I can see I cooked a minestrone (vegetable soup) that I also processed in the food processor... and then I prepared, and is now cooking, the sea bass I bought last night!
Now I feel relaxed! But still anguished by this weird event.
The good thing is that, even if my house smells food at 11 in the morning, I have my lunch and dinner prepared and also the veggy soup for Andrea's dinner.
Gotta seat down and read a romance...but I will read Internazionale instead which will make me thing of a lot more other things!

I have been sick for almost a week now and I am not completely ok.. but I will go to work on Thursday, if not I will also upload the pictures of the Mexican trip!
I am aware I don't have the ability to be concise but I couldn't help to upload so many pictures. And this is the same period of the year in which our honeymoon took place and I wish I could be there instead of at home with different parts of my body aching.

I should also clean my garden and prepare it for the winter but I like it when fall steps slowly in it and leave it naturally shabby!

I am reading a lot and I am joining some politics lately. Here in Italy the Government is really a complicated and polluted field! And I am a very environment oriented girl who'd love to CLEAN it out. Not sure we'll be able to do it but at least we can try.
I have project to complete and aim to reach... I only hope I could have more time to dedicate to the things I really care for.
But I only need to be more energetic and to organize my time:-) I can do it!

September


Greek lunch

... I find myself in a perfect September mood. I am sick at home with my throat on fire... but am slowly recovering.
I have more time to read and to listen to the music and my thoughts fly away. That is how I end up filling to-do-lists and aims to reach!
Am I ready for the leaves to fall? Ready for the changing colours? Ready for the rain and the cold?
Wish I was in this small restaurant in a far away lonely beach of Santorini, to taste the simplicity of an home made greek meal!

I haven't been able to write on the blog lately... had a lack of inspiration or...worse... a lack of 'sharing-feeling'..but I hope I am 'recovering'.
I spent most of August working and double-working, plus trying to soothe wounded hearts... That's all! No vacation, no days off...
We finally found 2 days to hide far away from here, shut down cell phones, disconnect our brains from everybody around us, and catch the wave of our souls according the wind on the Adriatic sea and the smell of the pines of Sirolo.
We celebrated our first anniversary in peace with the surrounding nature, and with us.
I finally had the time to recharge my batteries swimming in a clean and blue sea and spending time with Andrea.
I feel a little better now, and I am ready to put things in the right place and get prepared for the fall and winter.
