Hi World!
Happy New Year.
Wonder why the blog had been discountinued? I’m not the lazy type, you know… but…
- months ago, I had lost my access password (yes, you are allowed to laugh! how do you keep track of you usernames and psw? I think I have thousands),
- then, I lost someone so important to me. And this is the real thing.
Updating this blog was obviously not at top position in my thoughts and my priority list.. nevertheless, you know that we continued to issue the BUONGIORNO VENEZIA weekly.
Now, I can’t say I’m back to “normality” (what’s “normal”?) but I’m back. Some lives are unexpectedly complicated. Full of joy. Which we pay for.
I wish a better year for myself and my family. I wish my beloved Gianluca can feel a little bored in Paradise, so that he find some spare minutes from time to time, to spend here with me.
I promise I’ll try to be a good girl, so that we can meet again some day.
