MN Little Italy 16

[TheMysticMasseuse]

I HAVE STARTED A LITTLE ITALY THREAD!!!!

hooray for me!!!

lol at the stanlio e ollio accent!
I recently watched an old video, dc were respectively 4 and 2 and they had a very strong stanlio and ollio accent . I didn't realize it at the time!

night franca

We lost it once and told them we never received it and they believed us. Didn't feel too guilty though as we do throw money at them for sitting on their arses.

I've not read any Alice Munro (sp). Recommend some titles to me!

Pippi I can send you photocopies of ds' s libro di lettura di prima elementare.

Penthe bear with me, I'll look for scarpe di bresaola

No, it is a book to learn Italian, meant for adults, could not find anything aimed at his age at the Italian bookshop. It really works though, I was surprised at how much he knows to be honest and i htink he really felt proud at getting it right.

Franca yes please if you don't mind. Just to have a look at the method. Could always buy one later I guess.

Sputnik please do!

McC I have had that dvd for eons . I have always been like this with dvd/video. Must stop the membership.

Penthe let me check the one I have got.

got a few od dp's books, might give them a go then when i'm more settled at work... mmmm, maybe i should stick to this job, so not much thinking involved and can have more free time...

The love of a good woman
The progress of love
Runaway
Hateship, Frienship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage
The Dance of the Happy Shades
Open Secrets
The view from Castle Rock
Too much Happiness (have not read these last 2, on my bedside)

These are off the top of my head.
I think she is absolutely amazing.

right shape of a scarpa di bresaola, wrong colour. The colour is, of course, bresaola

I have also just read the book her daughter wrote about her which is soooo inspiring and honest. Ohhhh can you tell I luuuuuurve her?

Poor Camo, when do you have to decide what to do about the job?

I saw Too much Happiness in waterstone and was so temted to buy it...

I suspect I have read Runaway and have it somewhere...I am ashamed to say I do not rememeber it much except for one story. That was when I was reading a lot super fast...

Oooh, Neapolitan Briegroom, or what!

Is your dd reading in english pippi? I was wondering whether it could be wiser to have her settled in one language and then teach her to read in the other? Haven't got a clue, tbh.

Will make copies. Another good idea is to get those libri gioco for children alla materna (tipo anche il giornalino della pimpa), where they start writing little words, it might help, boh!

Bridegroom, obv.

Can lend it next time i see you, as w&p will keep me busy forever i guess. It's a hardback. [swoon]

LOL LOL LOL! Y'know - I just knew it would be that kind of shoe! Hideous. And it makes their feet look really long and skinny and kind of flat, IYSWIM?

Thanks, McC - I'll pick one up. Have a feeling that W&P might be too much for me at the moment. Have to read Ulysses again for teaching, anyway.

Cannot open any link today. I suspect I am not missing anything.

sorry Camo- so awful to lose your nonna...

Sputnik, yes! I AM Deanna Troll (seriously? she's called troll???) i already have the hair. gosh these pelvic floors are getting a good workout.

Pippi, your plan sounds good. you can do it!

McCloud, dd1 has accento tedesco which is even more hilarious. so annoying though because everyone in italy laughs at her, and i can't help thinking shes going to get self conscious sooner or later.

i wish they were doing Dirty Dancing here.... (but cute guy on ugly betty)

Sinister footwear

Penthe, if you read a Munro let me know and I will join you for the occasion and do a re-read. I would love to hear your intelligent comments.

Ulysses? Ohh, I am scared of Ulysses.....seems so hard to read.

Yes, Penthe. Yes, flat and long. Are they popular in the UK too? They wouldn't look bad as a splendid accessory to the "pub run uniform"

lol at sinister footwear!

off to bed, thank you for your company ladies.
