MN Little Italy 13

[Rosa]

E primavera ...Buona Pasqua Tutti .......

franca, I've always wanted to read that book. Shall we get it and read it and discuss it here?

Let me check if I still have it ...

Penthe, my mum had to bring my late grandad packs of "felce azzurra" talco (he lived in France) as he couldn't live without it! I have to say though that I love the smell, but I suppose it's to do with the memories of being little.

ROsa, you'll be fine, my mum had to learn with us too (italian parents but born in france, only moved to italy when she got married) and the italian system was somewhat behind compared to the french one (I was ok, but she spent agonising afternoons making my brother do his homework, and now history is repeting itself with her having to do the same with my niece)

Yes, it's here!

Oh the felce azzurra! My grandma had spuma di sciampagna...

LOL Camomilla - it's funny what you can't do without.

OK, franca, so shall I try to get it tomorrow, and then we can have our own mini miserable book club?

Just realised I'm going to be a bad mum as I might have to miss DS's school summer fair, but after 13 years of waiting I can't really miss Take That at Wembley ...

Right, I'm up for it

ANd then, at a later time, can we discuss sophie's choice ?

Are they still sans robbie?

I am talking about Sophie's Choice, franca... What book are you talking about?

Camomilla - you're going to see Take That? That's so uncool as to actually be cool!

Ups sorry . I thought you meant the wonder spot, which is deffo lighter than sophie's choice.

But yes, lets do sophie's choice. I need to discuss it ( iread it over christmas)

Have to go, connection painfully slow

Lol at Take that, I was too cool for them the first time around but now can't stop myself from myself singing Reeelight my Fey-er and the other one that goes tra la la (want you back maybe?)

don't care about vergogna, need to finally fulfill at least one teenage dream

franca, no robbie

Ahhh, I see. Ok, cool. I'll try to find a copy tomorrow, and read it asap, and then we can discuss it. Fantastic. I'll look forward to it (insofar as one can look forward to such a depressing read...).

Buona notte.

Actually, think I will slink off too, and watch an episode of Spaced.

Night all.

Take that and party, btw, Camomilla.

I went to see David Cassidy when I was about 6 and I still have a soft spot for him. Now that really is vergognoso!

penthe, but if tonight is like the past 3 it'll be "up all night"

well you see, the only time I saw anyone was a small gig in a club in aviano.... went to see Dodgy! (though that might have had s.thing to do with destiny, as the following night DP and his band were their supporting act in london, 18 months before we met!!)

camo went to see Take That in Manchester when they first got back together. They were fabulous! Was 6 mths pregnant with ds at the time and he loves it as well, was dancing around in my stomach!
Franca glad drugs are working.

I'll try to read sophie's choice too...

feeling crappola this morning and have a million things to do. oh well...

Camo - your DH is in a band?

Gio - love the idea of your DS bopping along to TT in the womb.

Pippi - what's up? Hope things are going ok.

I am hoping the weather holds, as am planning to go on a sculpture walk with DD, a friend and her DD this morning.

Must also remember to buy Sophie's Choice.

Pippi, have you still got a temp?

Penthe, I'd give you my copy, but I must re read bits of it if I want to have a decent discussion about it.

Camo I'm sure you'll have a great time! (though they are a bit gini without robbie )

what is a sculpture walk btw? Is it a walk among sculptures or is it a smart way to tone up your bum and legs?

Lol Franca!

I have a copy of Sophie's choice somewhere I think - probably still in a box in the cellar. Read it ages ago so have probably forgotten loads.

I'm still feeling shitty today, millions of things to do and I can't seem to get my head around starting any of them. I want to take poor DD to the park this afternoon instead of dragging her back here to play by herself while I finish working, so I should really sort myself out. Do you think PMT gets worse with age?

Ah Pippi, I see you feel crappy too. Shall we both have a self indulgent crapathon?

'PMT gets worse with age?' Yes definitely!

feel better but can still indulge. my temp outbursts always last about half a day. boh.

catholic primary very very good imo. maybe because it's a bit old fashioned - curriculum-wise and desks etc and reminds me of my old primary . Children very very happy and relaxed and well mixed. do quite lots of grammar and math etc. Not too heavy on religion either, obv catholic etc but children are from every place, race and faith and look well scruffy too .
If I have to go private it'll def be this one I think. Also cheapest.
