Dreaming of the sea, of birdsongs, of a gentle wind moving my hair…..

sunday at school

Last week was full of events, dramas, accomplishments, decisions, a really full life!

So on sunday there was much need of a break, of staying with good friends, and giving some origins to thoughts, leaving all those "difficult" things away for a day.



we visited friends, had a great lunch which, amongst other delicious things, involved home-made gnocchi



and I had a course on how to make pasta, all for myself. I actually helped in the process, learnt the recipe (easy peasy, 1 kg flour, 3 eggs, water (and, in this case, some borragine)).

Everything was ready:



so my 87 years old teacher, which was patient and precise, showed me what and how to do:



you put the eggs with the flour,



add the herbs, and start mixing from the center







when the pasta is ready, you make the sheets, starting with having them thicker, and going down thickness when they are ready,



(and I dutifuly operated the pasta machine). Then it's time to cut the tagliatelle and the spaghetti!





Let them dry suspended for a day or two. It is surely going to be delicious!

In the afternoon we chatted a lot with visiting relatives and friends, spent some time in the garden, enjoying the first sun. Even the dog had a lot of fun!

CV - Vision

I have been having problems with my eyes lately. It seems that I'm entering that part of life in which the near vision is compromised, and so I can no longer wear my glasses to read, I have to take them off, as my left eye sees badly with them on. I suspect I shall soon get new glasses in order to read….  hopefully not too soon ;-)





Besides the glasses, my world vision changes over the years, as I have been documenting for the last 4 years with my 365 project!
