What is your best childhood memory?
My best childhood memory is when I was about four years old, on Sunday my father used to take me and my family to fish in a lake near my home. Actually, I don't think I really enjoyed fishing, but I remember I was happy to spend all day with my family.

An old friend
Today, walking on the beach I ran across an old friend who I haven’t seen in years. We stopped to speak a little about our life.
I was pleasantly surprised to know that she got married, have had two kids and is pregnant of another baby.
Sara is an only child, so she has always wished a big family. Her dream would be to stop working and be a stay-at-home mom to take care of her children, but unfortunately she can’t afford it, because even if her husband has a good wage, they must pay their housing loan.
However she feels very lucky because the baby will be born in 3 months and then she will be on maternity leave for an other year , so she will stay home and she’ll be able to enjoy with her family for a while.

"Silk" by Alessandro Baricco
Chapter 2
To be precise, Hervè Joncour bought and sold the silkworms when they were tiny eggs, yellow or grey, still and apparently died. Only in the palm of the hand you could keep thousands.
"To have a fortune in the hand we might say".
In the early of May eggs hatched, release a worm that after an intensive feeding based on mulberry leaves, closed again into a cocoon and then to evade definitively two weeks later, release one thousand metres of silk rough wire, that in money was lots and lots of French francs.
Lavilledieu was the name of the village in which he lived.
Hélèn was his wife's name.
They had not children.

"Silk" by Alessandro Baricco
Although his father had imagined for him a brilliant military career, Hevrè Joncour ended up to earn a living
with an unusual job, that with singular irony, had a feature so sweet as betray a vague feminine intonation.
For living, Hervè Joncour bought and sold silkworms.
It was 1986. Flaubert was writing Salammbò, the electric light was still a hypothesis and Abram Lincon, in the other side of the ocean, was fighting a war that he would never seen the end.
Hervè Joncour was 36 years old.
He bought and sold.
Silkworm.

pearl of mediterranean
When you talk about white sandy beaches, crystalline water and wild sceneries, we always think to esotic places like Seyhelles or Maldives. Probable because you've never visited Gargano's coast, in Italy.
This summer, my husband and I had a trip in Puglia, and we were amazed from the beauty of this region. Our hotel was in Vieste, a village of fishermen, rising up on a promontory where the cliff fall sheer to the blue sea. Walking through alleys and stairs you discover the medieval heart of the city with his small shops nestled in the karstic rock.
The coast is shaped from an high white rock wall interrupted from inlets and caves that you can explore by canoe.
the time in this dreamy place flew by, but I hope to come back very soon.

the first day at my new work
Today afternoon I'll start my new work and I'm a bit worried because I don't know how it'll be
this new experience. Last Friday I met my two co-workers, and they seem kind and cooperative people. I'm sure I'll get on well with them.
