Italy is mine

Cabaret tonight. I am going to take a walk in my beloved park for some relax and inspiration - Nature is my Muse - and then I will get ready and go to the Magic Place where some Unexpected Good Things come True. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 8th May 2026 Updated post with some pictures. I was very happy that some friends living far from Paris were there and also glad that the everything went well. Despite the holiday and the long weekend, the bar was packed like it was last year, whe

Yesterday I enjoyed the retrouvailles with my friends from Bordeaux: we spent a lovely sunny day near the "Luco", nickname of the Jardin du Luxembourg. After having lunch in an Italian restaurant with many vegetarian and even some vegan options and then a walk from the Luco to the Odéon, we came back to the Panthéon, had a vegan ice-cream with a biscuit spoon before going to the Irish Cultural Centre, visiting the mediathèque and Earthbound (a film installation by Clare Lang

This morning I have met this lovely robin in the quiet "secret garden" inside my favourite Parisian park. I zoomed a lot because I would not disturb him by coming closer, so this is not an extraordinary picture and I surely would not win a photography prize, but it is a nice souvenir of this unexpected meeting. More and more Good Things to come, indeed. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 27th April 2026 (C) Vera da Pozzo (C) Italy is Mine (C) Italy is Mine and It owes Me a Living...

There are not news yet of the new European tour, but we have news about new releases tomorrow and on Morrissey's birthday . About the picture of the post on Central, I am sure that Dave Musheigan took it at the concert in Rome, where Morrissey wore a red shirt, whilst in Lucca he was wearing the same blue-grey flower shirt he wore for the concert at the Gasometer in Vienna. By the way, I am glad I could attend all these three fantastic concerts and I do hope I will able to at

If the concert had been yesterday - this year, Monday is my day off at school, as Friday - it would have been better, because it is quite stressing to run away from my lycée which is at 40 km from Paris, but I am happy to attend another concert of Brigitte calls me Baby, the rock band from Chicago that I have discovered last year, thanks to Morrissey, who chose them as opening act for his concerts in Dublin and Paris. I am also happy to see again some French friends I met at

Living in Paris, I have always dreamt of singing in a band and even forming one on my own, but I soon realized that there were and still are many obstacles to music projects, and not just the main one - i. e., how to live doing music : Musical tastes are not easy to combine, even in a huge, cosmopolitan city like Paris. There still are people who want to rock... in French, which is ( désolée , mes amis français ! ) one of the most boring languages for rock, punk and to

A quiet walk in my favourite Parisian park, far from Hell and evil people. Unfortunately, it is also far from Seville, where Morrissey will sing tonight. Sing and shine tonight, Fantastic Bird! Art is an Eternal Spring. I hope I will see You again in Europe this year, during my school holidays. Below, some flowers from my havre de paix in Paris. Photos by me.

I started this week by my retrouvailles with my beloved park, and I am ending it by coming back to the Bar behind the Grands Boulevards where I sing every Sunday evening. I am already here early in the afternoon for the rehearsals of our next cabaret.

I prefer the English version of this proverb with "sailor" instead of "shepherd" because shepherds (except the Good One, of course) do not care about sheep just for their own sake, but for milk and meat.

Bluebird of Happiness. I'll soon return to Paris because I am not on holidays yet, but how I would love to be in Frankfurt tomorrow... It was such a joy to see Morrissey arriving at the Sporthalle greeting, bowing and smiling at us, and pleased to see a Perfect Blue bird of Happiness on his left eyebrow. It was quite strange and a bit funny to see Morrissey from above, like he sees us from the stage; I would have loved to see him nearer, but we were twenty people or more an

Thank you, Morrissey, for confirming I was right, because I knew, I knew, I knew that you were and are still here in Paris. Picture taken by me... if only! I am joking, of course, but I know It's gonna happen Someday . Article by me, post from Morrissey Central with a picture of Morrissey taken today by an Unknown Creature near Notre-Dame of Paris . After Make-up is a Lie , released last month, the new single Notre-Dame is released today. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 6th February 2

Again I felt You were here Again The first time was in Paris Two years ago The second time in Rome Last year And the third time in Paris In January Again Between last Saturday And this Monday How is it possible? How can it be real? Still it is Indeed Again Again Again Feeling your Presence Thrice in just two Years But when will I meet You Around the Corner?

A freezy, sunny Day In Père Lachaise: Just like an impromptu, As I had something to do In Place Gambetta, I took my time and Visited my Friends This Afternoon On the top of the Trees Tiny Birds were singing Their Happiness, telling That Spring is nearer And Oscar and Robbie Could hear their songs As the Sun warmed The Sphynx and the Gravestone above An Unexpected Meeting And a Nice Conversation With a Tourist from New York In front of Wilde's Tomb Vera da Pozzo Paris, 19th Ja

Thank God, and against all odds, I managed to finish my artwork on Wednesday evening, just in time for the collective exhibition in Paris. My drawings were ready the day before but, as I had to get up very early to go to work on Wednesday, I had to put up the whole artwork and write the message (which is also its title) in the evening, during the vernissage. Even if it was absolutely not planned - and, to be honest, I would rather have my artwork already on the wall - it was

Two Years ago On a Freezy-cold Friday I wanted to go To the Irish Home in Paris But I shelved this Thought And I strolled in my Park While I should have stuck to What I would have loved to Because I could have met You Waiting for Me to gather and Let our Black Dogs play together While taking a walk in the Luco Then silently visiting an expo I was so happy in my Park When - all of a sudden - I felt your Presence and This made Me even happier Two Days later On a Freezy-cold Sun
