ITALIAN mums out there - franca etc

[eastend]

DS is sick, what would a good Italian mum cook for him? First time he is properly sick, I need to cook him something, even if he might not eat it...

Not that sure I know what your name means either (other than being a bit of water) but I wouldnt go calling someone a troll cause of that - especially doing it in a different language so I wouldnt understand.

Sorry LieselVentouse I assumed you were asking us to speak Italian because you could speak it, didn't realise you didn't. Didn;t mean to offend.
Franca re: my tits, as you so elegantly put it, they are bigger and harder, but I am so flat chested at non pregnant times, that pregnancy does not affect them enormously.
I just want to know either way, I feel stuck in limbo.

I want to learn Spanish too, the language of love.....

wow califrau mi sorprendi ogni giorno, darling !
Liesel come here for a group hug, now

yeahhhh, group cuddle....

Med... secondo me sei incinta! Ho avuto esattamente la stessa cosa quando sono rimasta incinta con dd1. Ho fatto tre tests a casa - tutti negativi - e alla fine ho avuto la diagnosi (non mi sembra la parola giusta... meglio 'la buona notizia') dal medico. (Avevo subito un aborto spontaneo due mesi prima, per cui non potevo essere sicura delle date. Ma avevo tutte le indicazioni che hai tu adesso...) In bocca al lupo....

Il nome di Liesel e' un gioco di parole. Liesel Von Trapp e' la figlia maggiore nel film The Sound of Music. E Ventouse presumibilmente perche' si tratta di un sito per le mamme!

Were you asking for more Italian on this thread? Or just wondering why people were posting in English? I think it's in order to talk about things Italian without excluding anyone who doesn't speak it.

I was the one who asked for more Italian - this has been a joke since beginning of thread since I looovvvvvvvveeeeeeee hearing Italians - think its so romantic

Baci baci baci, allora...! (Have been a bit intermittent on the thread, so probably missed earlier posts...) Why not come and do an Italian degree? No previous experience necessary!

Tanto gentile e tanto onesta pare
la donna mia quand'ella altrui saluta,
ch'ogne lingua deven tremando muta
e li occhi no l'ardiscon di guardare.

(Sod 'I'll teach you Italian'! Let's get straight onto the 'hard stuff'!)

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita...

lol at lotteria mestruale!
Will see the gp on Thursday I guess. I slept 11 hours last night, whatever I have makes me feel soooo relaxed.

Mi ricordo questi versi meravigliosi:
"Amor che a nullo amato amar perdona,
mi prese del costui piacer si forte,
che come vedi, ancora non m'abbandona.
Amor condusse noi ad una morte.
Caina attende chi a vita ci spense".

Mi viene da piangere a scrivere questi versi, ahhhhh Paolo e Francesca......

Liesel, I've just seen you live in glasgow... damn! I live in devon, otherwise we could have met to speak a mix of italian/english and spanish.
In fondo all'anima cieli immensi
e immenso amore
e poi ancora ancora amore
amor per te
fiumi azzurri e colline e praterie
dove corrono dolcissime
le mie malinconie
l'universo trova spazio dentro me
ma il coraggio di vivere, quello ancora non c'e'
lucio battisti, italin singer, early 1970s

Sorry only know some Italian but have you just been going on about blue rivers and hills?

I wish Id had this site when I was doing my O levels

yes!
I know, mn is amazing, isn't it?

Buongiorno da un caldo Veneto ..Fa troppo caldo qui .
Franca sorry you did not make it to Milan. But hope you had a nice day at the seaside.
Med hoping for a positive !.
Can't do any quotes in Italian and there are too many tra la las in my Italian songs to try and write a verse but my favourites are Most of Baglioni . Eros,Also rather like Venditti but have to say haven't watched San remo since 84 !

How long have you been living in italy rosa? (rosa is my dd's middle name)

Ecco, Califrau... il mio test negativo (che, alla fine e' uscita femminuccia, quindi forse una test negativa) ha quasi sette anni.

Med... sono molto incuriosita da questo bel dantista di UCL. JT o JL...??? O qualcun'altro??? Abbiamo qui questa settimana un dantista americano fantastico che ci ha QUASI convinto che il II del Paradiso non e' il canto piu' noioso della Commedia!

is it george clooney?

Magari!

Lol at JT or JL being the beautiful Dantista. You must be joking!!!! Both really amazing professors.
I was referring to EP who didn't teach the Dante course, but often recited verses by Dante, Leopardi and anybody else that took his fancy. Wonderful enthusiasm, wonderful man. Have you read anything by EP? Not a big fan of his novels.
I googled phantom pregnancy today, and it seems that it is a fairly rare condition, apparently Mary Queen of England in the 1500s was affected by it.

Been here for 21 or is it 22 years now ...But in Venice for about 10.
Rosa happens to feature a fair bit on our lives hence the nickname.. Rose is dd middle name as well !!

rosa. rosa it's also the name of my grandmother, who is lovely.
oyu keep writing dantista, I keep reading dentista and going a bit for 5 sec. then get it right!
