Fever - Elisa

Fever - Elisa

Of course. Of course I've been waiting for months to get away, to go abroad for work for a two-week visit and of course I get sick two days before I should leave. Of course with a relocation to do (first home and then goodness knows where), of course with a 3-hour drive home to undertake, hopefully tomorrow if I'm not feeling too bad. Of course this is probably not the fever Elisa was singing about, but my own fever, caused by whatever illness I got in my lungs since last xmas, is starting to be pretty bothersome!! Of course.

Life goes on - Elisa

I have come to end of my training here in Marghera, today is the last full day and tomorrow morning there's gonna be the last lesson. I was planning to go back home tonite but a new work-related appointment has emerged for tomorrow at lunch break, so here I am, staying here one more night! One of the friends I made during the training kindly offered to host me for the night, so I'll save myself the fuss or looking for an accommodation last minute. As usual, the more things they tell me, the less I know... I wish people would be a little more interested in my case, but I'll be enjoying the ride (or at least try to) even with all the current uncertainties! What matters the most is that I am a bit sad to put an end to this piece of life (too), I started getting on my daily routine and bonding with the nice people I've been doing the training with, but... life goes on, and maybe we'll have the chance to meet again soon!

Take me to church - Hozier

Take me to church - Hozier

Guess who forgot to post yesterday? Yes, that's me (again)! Well... I'm not even really justified by the fact that I'm away from home, as yesterday was a really lazy day, we didn't do any excursion or visit. At one point I wanted to go to the beach in the early afternoon but the sky got full of clouds and a few drops fell, thus totally discouraging me and putting me to sleep...
Today has been much better, we have been to Trsteno to visit the arboretum where some other Game of Thrones scenes were shot. The place is very nice by itself and we were also able to identify a few spots where they shot some scenes! The whole experience was beautified with a very nice bath in the sea just below the arboretum. It's a pity that the Croatian coast is so rocky, as I like sand much better, but it was nice anyway.
Tomorrow is already time to go back home, but not before a brief introduction of today's song: I just learned about the existence of Hozier and this song, like 10 minutes ago. Elisa (a popular Italian singer) suggested it on her Facebook page, I watched the video and... well, it's here already! Like the song, love the video, really worth a view (or two)! His first, eponymous album will be released in September.

Your manifesto - Elisa

Today I have been getting a lot of inspiration just by turning on to the shuffle mode of my iTunes library! I'm building the last playlist of the year, so I got some songs for that, but I also got the chance to listen to songs I already love and I hadn't been listening to for quite a while. One of these is the one I'm using for my post of today. The year was 2009 and the album is Heart, the last album of Elisa I have listened to in its entirety. Some of the songs were not that great, but some others... I took quite a liking for them. This is obviously one of them.
