いってきます!

Hi!
I'm leaving for London on Tuesday 31st, so I don't think I will be able to reply emails and sms for a while.
If we can connect to the wi-fi connection once there I think I will check my mail box every now and then and I will write on a journal I've created:




So, bye bye!! Enjoy your holidays!! ^__^ If anyone has any advice to give me about places to visit, etc, everything is welcome!! :D

またね! (´▽`)/~~

ただいま~!


I'm back home! ^^

As I already mentioned, I spent 5 days in Tuscany with my mum and we just got home from our journey.
We were guests in our dear friends' house and everything has been delightful.
Our acquaintances there are the most amiable and good-humoured one can desire and I enjoyed our staying a lot.


The place where our friends live in this season is a beautiful, rural, perfectly comfortable, old mansion surrounded by the most charming Tuscany's countryside. Even if it was not my first visit there, I couldn't help but being really impressed by the beauty of such natural enviroment. The sight of the plants such as the olive tree, apricot tree, plums and a lot of different flowers as well as the the colours of the landscape and the curving form of the hills all around gave us the most pleasing and relaxing sensations. The countryside is to be sure the most delightful of all natural enviroment to me.


From the mansion the view is amazing; we were able to see the town of S. Gimignano on the opposite hill, where we took some walks together. It is a fascinating place that I had the pleasure of visiting since I was little.
San Gimignano is a walled medieval town in the province of Siena famous mainly for its beautiful architecture and its towers that can be seen even from a long distance and which has become its symbol.


Thanks to our dear friends our staying has been lovely and we felt perfectly at ease. My mum spent most of the time sunbathing and swimming, enjoying the good company and the nice climate. I read a lot when I wasn't engaged in some conversation or walk around the place or the town and I almost finished Northanger Abbey. It's really good and I think the film they made based on the book is really well-done. I will certainly watch it again soon. (Forgive me if the language in this post is a little strange, I'm afraid I've been influenced by the book)


Northanger Abbey (the movie made in 2007) --->

I should start studying... but it won't be easy to find concentration and I'm sure everything will end up like this (<--click to read the comic).


またね! (´▽`)/~~ バイバイ Bye, bye..

..a very "animated" entry

After Pride and Prejudice, I'm now reading Emma! I must confess that Pride and Prejudice was more exciting and funny than Emma seems to be so far. I've read only 100 pages, so I'll talk about it after I've finished it, but I'm thinking of dropping it and reading it again in the future. So now I can read other novels like Northanger Abbey *_*

Lately I'm trying to create some animated gifs and since some of my friends find them quite well-done I post them here. I know they're not perfect, but I had fun creating them. Can you guess the subject? ;D

I've finally finished my exams for this period, so even if I don't know all the results yet, I'm relieved. It's so good to relax!
Me and my mum are planning about going in Tuscany for 3-4 days, probably from 10th July to 14th. There are such beautiful natural places there, I'm really pleased with the idea of this short holiday.
We'll be guests in our friends' house and it's really a charming place. I hope I'll be able to take some nice picture to show here ^_^

A storm is approaching and my cat is trying to stop me from writing this entry walking on the keyboard (because he's hungry) so I must go.
Bye~!
