Fine di un’epoca?
October 1, 2017 // Posted in home | No Comments
Da qualche mese ormai Bea, di giorno, ha abbandonato il pannolino, e dopo qualche “difficolta'” iniziale, ora è diventata proprio brava a cavarsela senza.Per scrupolo, di notte, la facevamo dormire comunque col pannolino… Ma nelle ultime settimane, la mattina, era sempre asciutto. E cosi’ da ieri Bea dorme senza pannolino… Dopo 5 anni e mezzo, forse, possiamo dire basta ai pannolini.
After 5 years and a half, here at sacchibelli’s it seems that we can live without diapers. In fact Bea, who learned to stay without diapers few months ago, was still sleeping with diaper, for safety. But starting since yesterday, she is completeley diaper-free, and it seems that everything is under control. A great achievement!!!

Un’idea brillante
October 1, 2017 // Posted in bike, cars | No Comments
Non ci era parsa un’idea brillante sostituire l’incrocio semaforico vicino a casa con una rotonda (vedi qui)… A specifiche domande rivolte all’amministrazione, l’unica risposta avuta è stata quella che l’opera (costata 220mila euro) era totalmente a carico dell’impresa che sta ristrutturando un immobile che si affaccia sulla rotonda stessa. Credo si chiami onere accessorio. Nulla e’ stato invece ribadito alle accuse di inutilita’ e pericolosita’ della rotonda stessa. Evidentemente perche’ e’ un’opera inutile, se non dannosa… Per ora il risultato e’ di tre incidenti durante la costruzione, un primo incidente ora che la rotonda e’ finita, proprio ieri, quando un’auto, di sera, non l’ha vista… A cio’ si aggiunge che il traffico in viale Campari, la mattina quando transitiamo in bici cercando di sopravvivere pare piu’ congestionato di prima, anche perche’, come prevedibile, i semafori a valle della rotatoria fanno da tappo e riempiopno completamente il viale e la rotonda…Che dire, complimenti ai nostri illuminati amministratori…
Few months ago a new roundabout construction started, close to where we live. We believe that this is a stupid idea, we asked the administration to explain why such a roundabout should be useful, and we didn’t have any significant reply. Probably because it is not useful, and, moreover, it is dangerous (for cars, but above all for pedestrians and bike riders….). Sto today the roundabout is finished, and we already observed 4 car accident, and the traffic in Viale Campari looks worst than in the past, at least in the morning… No comment…

Una domenica in campagna
September 26, 2017 // Posted in animals, friends | No Comments
Domenica pomeriggio, senza Silvia, impegnata a Sartirana, ma coi bimbi, siamo stati a Pieva Albignola, a trovare Paolo (e Lucia), con Matteo e Isabella. Abitano in una bella casa “di campagna”, con una corte molto ampia, ricca di animali, dai cavalli, ai conigli, passando per le galline e il cane. E indubbiamente Lorenzo e Beatrice, assieme alla bravissima e bellissima Isabella, si sono divertiti assai… (le galline, un po’ meno…)
Last Sunday, in the afternoon, we went to Pieve Albignola, to meet Paolo and his family. They live in a lovely place, with a big courtyard, full of interesting animals, starting from the two horses (Jack and Patty Lady) and including also rabbits, chickens and a sweet dog (Viola). Lorenzo and Bea enjoyed a lot the place and the kindness of Isabella, who spent a lot of time playing with them… Chickens probably didn’t like too much the advent of Lorenzo and Bea…

Una serata speciale
September 22, 2017 // Posted in environment, Pavia | No Comments
In questa lunga estate (che termina proprio oggi), abbiamo avuto un giro piuttosto complicato di baby sitter che ci hanno aiutato coi bimbi, visto che l’asilo e’ ancora ben lontano dall’essere a regime, almeno per Bea. Tra queste, Fatima e Jamila sono quelle che piu’ sono state coi bimbi, e si sono dimostrate davvero speciali. Fatima l’abbiamo conosciuta al Rodari (dove ha svolto il servizio civile), Jamila l’abbiamo conosciuta tramite Fatima. E stasera abbiamo avuto il piacere di ospitarle (assieme alle rispettive sorelle) qui da noi, per una semplice pizza da asporto. Abbiamo cosi’ conosciuto anche Jamila, sorella di Fatima e Sara, sorella di Jamila, e abbiamo passato una serata davvero piacevole, ravvivata anche dall’allegra spensieratezza dei bimbi, in particolare di Beatrice. Grazie per essere passate a trovarci; siamo sicuri che ci rivedremo presto, tutti assieme.
During this summer we had to ask some help for Lorenzo and Bea, because their schools still are not working at 100%. We had many baby sitters, but at the end, two of them, Fatima (we met her at kindergarden) and Jamila (we met her thanks to Fatima) were the ones that helped us most of the time. For this reason we were very happy when both of them accepted the invitation at our place for a simple pizza; moreover they brought also Jamila and Sara, their sisters, and we really spent a nice evening. Thanks for coming, for being so kind with our little Lorenzo and Bea, and, more in general, thanks for helping us with the kids.

Pedalongobarda
September 18, 2017 // Posted in bike, Pavia | No Comments
Oggi, nell’ambito del “Lebici festival“, organizzato in questi giorni a Pavia, abbiamo partecipato alla “Pedalongobarda“, una pedalata di gruppo, per grandi e piccini, attraverso i monumenti storici di Pavia, ripercorrendo la storia dei longobardi. E’ stata un’occasione per Lorenzo, e per la sua amica Anna, di pedalare ormai come i grandi, nonostante la bici con le ruote piccolissime. Certo Lorenzo non ha apprezzato le soste durante le quali venivano letti brani della storia dei longobardi, ma la pedalata e’ stata decisamente affascinante. La piccola Bea invece se l’e’ fatta nel seggiolino, un po’ con papa’, un po’ con mamma, ma anche in lei sembra scorrere il sacro fuoco della bici, visto che comunque, un pezzo di strada per avvicinarsi al centro l’ha fatto con la sua bici rossa senza pedali.
Today there was a nice bike ride through the historic center of Pavia, following the history of “Longobardi”. It was a nice occasion, for Lorenzo and for his friend Anna, to ride their little bicycles. Hopefully we rode through safe paths, but sometimes it was a bit risky because of the “terrible” floor of the center of Pavia. But Lorenzo and Anan did their best and they were very proud of this ride. Good job. While Lorenzo and Anna were riding, little Bea and Marta were carried by the parents… but little Bea tried a short ride with her red bike… Maybe next year…

Brezel
September 10, 2017 // Posted in food | No Comments
E’ da parecchi anni ormai che, a settembre, in concomitanza con la Festa del Ticino, a Pavia arriva il Mercatino Europeo. Anche se, negli anni, le curiosita’ gastronomiche degli altri paesi europei sono diventate sempre piu’ care e meno novita’, il Mercatino conserva il suo fascino, e tra quelle bancarelle si respira un’atmosfera particolare. Quest’anno e’ stato l’anno dei brezen, che, abbiamo scoperto, piacciono tanto a Bea e Lorenzo, oltre che a Enrico e Silvia…
The second weekend of September is, since many years, the “Mercatino Europeo” weekend. It is based close to the Castle and you can find almost any kind of European food: paella from Spain, gulash from Hungary, sausage from Poland ans so on. This year Lorenzo and Bea discovered the brezel, and they like it a lot, as mamma Silvia and Enrico, by the way.

1000 giorni di Bea
September 5, 2017 // Posted in Beatrice, family | No Comments
Se i nostri conti non sono sbagliati oggi la nostra piccola Beatrice compie 1000 giorni. Sembra incredibile, eppure ci accompagna gia’ da 1000 giorni. E se avevamo dedicato un post ai primi 1000 giorni di Lorenzo (vedi qui), non possiamo non dedicarne uno a quell’adorabile monellina che e’ Bea. Per noi sara’ sempre la nostra piccolina, ma in questi 1000 giorni Bea ne ha fatti di progressi: non e’ piu’ cosi’ piccolina, parla un sacco, e’ uno spasso quando gioca con Lorenzo, sta imparando a fare a meno del pannolino, e, dopo aver finito il nido la scorsa estate, si appresta a cominciare una nuova avventura alla scuola dell’Infanzia; e, sopratutto, assieme a Lorenzo contribuisce a riempire di gioia le nostre vite
It seems yesterday, but Beatrice arrived within us exactly 1000 days ago. She always will remain our “little baby”, but in these 1000 days, she did a lot of things, she had a lot of experiences, and, for sure, she is not so little as before. We love Bea (and his brother Lorenzo). Thanks for making our lifes so joyful

Ex colleghi

Gli ultimi anni in Marvell hanno visto la componente maschile adulta di casa sacchibelli seduto vicino a Antonio e Maurizio. Per un periodo purtroppo breve, anche Domenico si e’ seduto li’ vicino, e abbiamo avuto modo di conoscere e apprezzare questo siciliano cosi’ “silenzioso”. Poi le strade si sono progressivamente separate, e ora tutti e quattro siamo sparpagliati in quattro diverse aziende. Ma l’amicizia e’ rimasta, inalterata, ed e’ bello rivedersi di tanto in tanto. Stasera poi abbiamo approfittato della bella sera d’estate per mangiare fuori, e anche Silvia e i bimbi si sono uniiti all’allegra comitiva. Ed abbiamo passato insieme davvero una bella serata.
Tonight we went out for a pizza with some dear friend and former colleague at Marvell: Maurizio, Antonio and Domenico. We used to sit very close each other for a while, and although now we are spread through four different companies, we still like to meet each other. And today it was particularly nice and funny also because Silvia and the babies joined us. Thanks Domenico for the lovely sweet gift…

Cena con Fede, Ali e Filippo
August 31, 2017 // Posted in friends | No Comments
La casa, dopo i lavori recentemente svolti, non è ancora perfettamente in ordine. Ma il passaggio della Fede da Pavia per le vacanze estive era un’occasione troppo ghiotta, cosi’, pregandola di non sconvolgersi troppo per lo stato della casa, stasera abbiamo avuto il piacere di averla a cena. E con lei, i mitici Ali e Filippo, con la bellissima e bravissima Matilde. Certo, la cena è stata un po’ movimentata dai capricci di Lorenzo e Bea, ma, nonostante il caldo e la stanchezza, ritrovare vecchi amici è sempre un piacere. Ciao Fede, buon viaggio, buon rientro in Francia. E ciao Ali e Fil, noi dobbiamo di sicuro impegnarci per vederci piu’ spesso.
We did some reconstruction job at our apartment, and we have not finished yet… However, in this period, there is Fede available here in Pavia, and we invited her for a dinner. Ali and Fil, together whith their lovely Matilde, joined us. Although Lorenzo and Beatrice, very tired, were a bit noisy, we spent a lovely evening. See you soon dear Fede, and good luck for your experience in France.

Pedalando per Milano
August 30, 2017 // Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments
La nuova avventura lavorativa della componente maschile adulta di casa Sacchibelli sembra decisamente interessante. E per ora il pendolarismo su Milano sembra gestibile, grazie all’adozione del bici + treno + bici. Ieri sera, approfittando di una cena di gruppo per salutare Jun Lei, un collega che ha deciso di andarsene in Olanda, ne ha approfittato per pedalare in tranquillità (complice il fatto che siamo alla fine di Agosto) da Segrate fino al “Blue, Blue, Blue Restaurant“, dove in effetti abbiamo cenato (molto bene): e la pedalata per Milano è stata decisamente interessante e affascinante. Manca il selfie mentre pedalo, giudicato troppo rischioso, soprattutto a causa del rischio di finire in qualche binario del tram, ma quantomeno c’e’ la foto di gruppo al ristorante, a ricordare questa bella serata.
Yesterday there was a dinner group, at Blue, Blue, Blue Restaurant, to say goodbye to a colleague, Jun Lei moving to The Netherlands. It was a nice event, because it was the first social event with the new colleagues at the new company, for the adult male component of sacchibelli family. And as a side effect, he had the opportunity to ride his bicycle through the streets of Milano: a very nice experience, safe enough mainly because we still are in August, and Milano is not so crowded.
