Italy is mine

You do not need to get married To be faithful each other Your Love is much stronger And more valuable than Gold Wrapping your Ring Finger But Society and Law Oblige You to Bow Glad to be with You very soon And share your Happiness Before the Honeymoon You already live every day To my Italian-Norwegian Friends.

Tomorrow... A 1966 classic by Sam and Dave. Hold on to your Friend. Photo above taken by me quite early this morning. The heat is horrible and the air so awfully polluted in Paris, still Mother Nature stay strong. Let us be like Mother Nature. You, I, WE shall overcome.

When The Smiths split because Johnny Marr left the band, I was just a child in primary school and I found it was such a pity, but, since then, I have never wished The Smiths made up, and I have never hoped the creative tandem Morrissey & Marr came back and worked together again. The Smiths is dead since 1987 and, after a short time when Craig Gannon, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce played together at the very beginning of Morrissey's solo career, all former band members embraced,

A 7 inch will be released in September with two singles: Kerching Kerching (from the album Make-up is a Lie) + Isle of Dogs, which was mentioned by Alain Whyte around three years ago.

A Pure Soul can be hurt, But never soiled: Her Wings stay strong Among Turmoil - Nevertheless, They need to rest In a Safe Place For a little while Vera da Pozzo Paris, 19th June 2026 Poem above, whole article and photo below by me, of course. Lavender is, indeed, a quiet and safe place for this Cabbage White (Pieris brassicæ) to rest and have some good nectar: to fly with an injured wing must be terribly exhausting - and I need to rest myself too, if I want to fly again, as

Paul McCartney turns 84 today. Happy birthday to my favourite Beatle, who is also one of the living musicians, singers and songwriters I admire the most, both as an Artist and as Human Being. Happy Birthday, Macca! I wish you all the best.

A quiet early morning In my dearest Park Before the heat Starts to hit Through the drops Kissing the leaves A little Rainbow Quickly appears On the fresh wet grass The Blackbird looks at Me And his gentle, soulful gaze Says : "Hello, my Saviour! I'm always glad to see You And I'll remember forever You were my Lucky Escape From the Ravens' Attack. I know Evil People harm You But They will never soil You Because You are Brave and Stronger than the Vile Mob. Enjoy the Good You

Drink your own Poison: You made It and You deserve It I am not like You all And I will never play Your vile, cruel Game I don't believe in Devil And I know that Evil Is what is chosen by Envious, Silly Losers Who hate all the Good, Sincere and Brave People I will never be like You, for I keep my Heart and Mind Well away from You all And all your malicious Words and Actions Vera da Pozzo Paris, 15th June 2026 Poem by me, photo aussi.

Drawing made by me on my diary this morning. Born in Lisbon, Fernando Martins de Bulhões (15th August 1195 - 13rd June 1231) became a Franciscan friar, took the name of Anthony and settled in Padua, after having lived and preached in Coimbra, Morocco, Sicily, Tuscany, and Romagna. He was just thirty-five when he died. I hope to have the chance to visit Padua and the wonderful Basilica dedicated to him, one day. Vera da Pozzo On Saint Anthony's Day 13th June A. D. MMXXVI Below

Most people crave for company Because they cannot stand alone But when they are in trouble There will be nobody around The flock surrenders to fear And starts to follow the herd Only the Brave stands alone Heart and Brain bold and strong Vera da Pozzo Paris, 8th June 2026 Poem above and photos below by me.

I really do not have words: it is so terribly sad news. Marjane Satrapi has suddenly died at 56 today, heartbroken ("morte de chagrin") a bit more than a year after her husband (the love of her life) Mattias Ripa's death. May they both rest in peace. Dear Marjane, you will not be forgotten! Thank you for Persepolis and all your art and your heart. Vera da Pozzo 4th June 2026 True love: Marjane Satrapi and Mattias Ripa.

You do know when I need good news most. The 12 inch is on its way to the Fnac shop, and the announcement of a newer album which will be recorded in January is great newsn Yes, I know that you are 116 years old: you told me in Catania and you made me laugh. I do not know why do people feel the urge to speculate about people and situations they absolutely do not know, but I think that "bitchcraft" is a brilliant trouvaille and it fits to the fester crashing bores I ignore at wo
