Strassenmusikanten

These two men taught me so much about life, love and about living my dreams. Much of who I am today was built back then - on the road, with Tonio, my backback full of dreams and our fearless adventure.

Years go by, and sometimes I still wish myself having a stroll in Sweden before a soundcheck, or feeding pigeons in a park in Paris. Today I went on an unplanned bus trip through London - night - and looking at the city I thought myself lucky- like I felt then, and still do now. Soooo lucky, and the black cats keep accumulating and what can I say, life is amazing and we better live it now, right now!

...It's a remarkable place... and I love my family (the one that chose me, and my chosen one)



In joy and love,

S.

p.s. I love music with a heart...

on food...

Love Jamie! I love food. love cooking and love Jamie for being so great and unpretentious.

I wish I had more time in my hands.

Sometimes I think I should've been a chef. You think? I love chopping stuff (thrill!)

chac-chac-chac-chac, as fast as you can, the smooth rounds of onion falling nicely on the chopping board. FFFFFsssssss, the sound of the sizzling oil on a pan. Gosh! Orgasmic!

Paff! a bit of this. Puff, tablespoon of that! Magic!

I will buy myself a big house with a massive kitchen. Wooden cupboards, rustic finish, coolest thing on earth. Will have all sorts of pots and pans and a cute little oven perfect for my cookies!

The dog will sit in a corner somewhere, (where I assume we will put his food and water bowls).

Do you mind pouring more wine? Dessert is almost ready! Not a problem, there's some more in the wine stack near the room to your right. That's were we have the TV. It's like a small cinema, really- feel free to use it in your stay here. I need it for 'research' and he loves his movies.

The dog? Of course he's allowed on the couch. What kind of question is that?

He sleeps in the bed, with us.

I have a soft spot for English boys, specially when they have big strong arms and are like bears.

I will find one just like that... really hope he likes to cook, we will go crazy in that kitchen or the jacuzzi I'm planning to have near the back garden. It's gonna be fun fun fun! You're all invited. We will have BBQ's outside, bring your beers!

:)

Can't wait!

El Poporopo

There is a word in Spanish: 'Poporopo',

isn't it funny?

'Poporopo'- it means pop-corn.

'Pop - corn'. I had a scarf- it was meant to be all pop-corny/pop-cornish (?).

Once after washing it, it accidentally got ironed.

It lost its pop-cornsity (?), ehem- its pop-corn quality... and became all dull.

How to popcornize it again, I thought?

How to 'poporopizarla'?

:)

Look what I found- notebook Nr.6

'Today was the last of our 'let's drink something' reunions at the wine shop.

Like the old days.

With the 70's music in the background, Cristina sitting in a corner, the casual customer, Simone opening a bottle of Champagne.

Do we say goodbye?

Those days...

the cowcross underground- Tonio and the Super Tramps; our days of touring, our fridays at the pub.

We were a family.

We are a family.

To take away- with me...'

Bang. Big Bang.

How do you explain the Big Bang?

Bang! Just like that?

Energy expanded - out of nothing..

There isn't something without nothing, but apparently there is no nothing without a something. Bang!

I wonder if the monkeys and the stars were already planned.

Somewhere (in a book maybe), in a word, a thought. Or was it a Bang! -

loud and clear and just went Puff! like an applause and standing ovation of monkeys and stars- words and thoughts came into being - like sqeezing an orange. Or something...
