Un nuovo albero di Natale
December 17, 2012 // Posted in celebrations, family, home | 1 Comment
Christmas is not so far now, and at our place too some decoration appeared. The major change compared to last year (see here) is our new Christmas tree, bigger than the previous one, to celebrate little Lorenzo. And let’s hope that we will find many gifts under this tree, on December the 25th…
Lorenzo e il mare
December 11, 2012 // Posted in Travels | 1 Comment
Last Friday weather was very cold in Pavia and we have seen the first snow of the year. Hopefully only few centimeters, but this was enough to motivate us to look for some nice and warmer place where to spend few days. So we decided to drive up to Finale Ligure, where we found wonderful weather. Sun was warm, the sky blue withouth any cloud, and the sea was so beatyful. It was the first time for Lorenzo, and he was very excited. A good reason to come back soon!!! Sunday we went also to Finalborgo, an old village close to Finale, very interesting. We visited it a while ago (see here), and it was nice to take a picture in the same place, but with Lorenzo as additional guest
Back to japanese

Little Lorenzo’s nursery is close to Hayashi Restaurant, a nice japanese restaurant where Silvia is dreaming to go since a while (during pregnancy and nursing sushi based food was forbidden for her). So yesterday, to celebrate the first afternoon Lorenzo spent at the nursery, we decided to go there, together with some friend and colleague. And, as expected, food was very good.
Mint (Hot) Chocolate
December 7, 2012 // Posted in computer, friends | No Comments
We are not talking about a special flavour of hot-chocolate, do not equivocate. The reason of this post is to celebrate the installation of Linux Mint 14 (Nadia) on Antonio’s laptop (the same laptop where we installed Ubuntu 10.10 a while ago (see here), and a previous release of Linux Mint last year (see here). We ate also a good pizza, but the hot-chocolate prepared by Silvia was great. And here you can see all of us very happy because an updated Linux is now up and running.
Passa il tempo ma..

We met together more then 20 years ago, at University. We shared together 5 exciting years and our friendship grew up a lot. Now it is quite hard to meet again; someone is living far away, some other travels a lot, but when it happens, it is always a great day. So thanks to Marco, Zap, Antonio Enea, Luca, to their wifes and to all the children for the great lunch we had today. And let’s send a warm greeting to all the “affamati” that were not able to join us.

Grazie davvero per essere venuti a trovarci!!!
It was quite hard to have Matteo, Vassy and Riccardo at our place for a pizza. But at the end, last Friday, we were able to share with them a nice evening, all together. And also Lorenzo was quite happy about that, although, after a while, he went to sleep. Thanks a lot for coming!!!
Le caldarroste

Yesterday our italian (Marco) and american (Anna) friends from Grenoble visited us at our place, together with Matteo, their lovely son, who is already 4 y.o. It is always a nice moment when we can meet them, and yesterday, to celebrate them, we ate some great roast chestnuts prepared by Silvia.
Primi tuffi

We were planning this since some weeks, and at the end, last Saturday, little Lorenzo started his swimming activity. We went to piscina Folperti, and here, with Giulia as instructress, he started to have confidence with water. And the first impression was very positive. Let’s continue next Saturday…
Vecchia auto, nuova auto…

After 12 years, at the end we decided to substitute our old “Peugeot 206“. It was still working pretty well, but we needed some more room with little Lorenzo. After some investigation we decided to buy a brand new “Ford B-Max“. It looks great, but we miss a lot our “enfant terrible”.
