Above: detail and whole coloured drawing (in comic strip style) made by me yesterday, as I needed so much to enlighten the Sad Day of Remembrance - not to be confused with the Remembrance Day I wrote about, three days ago, here, and here, and also here.

Sing and Shine tonight, Silver Boy!

Be happy and brighten Darker Waves!

Your Light never goes out. :)

See you soon in Europe.

To YOU

Paris, 14th November 2026

Below, photographs taken by me in my dear Parisian park, this morning.

Photos n° 1 and n° 2: shiny dewdrops covering a beautiful fallen leaf.

Photo n° 3: a fallen star. I love every Season, but I have a soft spot for Autumn; moreover, I enjoy my beloved Parisian Park even more, without enduring allergies and noisy people, like I do in Spring and early Summer.

Photo n° 4: my dearest Sophora Japonica.

Photo n° 5: self-portrait with another Friend and a Lamppost. I surely don't risk falling for a Lamppost, like Suggs did in 1999.

When I was a child, Madness were my third favourite band after The Smiths (forever my n° 1) and The Housemartins; they were still aired on RAI Radio 2 in 1999, but the RAI radio DJs neither talked about Morrissey nor aired his songs since 1993 and, as my parents couldn't afford a PC and Internet and I hadn't earned enough money yet with my student's job, I was totally unaware that Morrissey was touring in Europe in 1999. God!, when I think that I could have seen him in concert for the very first time in Italy, ten years before his concert in Paris at the Zénith...

Anyway, I feel very lucky and I am so happy to attend to Morrissey's shows these recent years, and I am proud I stuck to his voice and his songs, even during that long and boring "Madchester", silly boybands and fake "girl power" era, when RAI radio 2 aired Oasis (better than the Beatles my ***) and other insignificant but trendy bands (OK, some of them could actually sing and play, but they said nothing about me and my life) while ignoring Morrissey's mid and late Nineties albums.
