Bad news of the day: I hurt my left toe. I had to fix it up on the sink, with Sakura fussing over, and blood makes everything slippery! There was much cursing, but it looks like it's fixed now. Obviously it has to happen the day before I leave for Milan, where there'll be much walking around, what with the bus and subway strike. Curses.

And now on to the (many) good news. First, there's me leaving for Milan tomorrow, to see Frankenstein! Yes! I can't wait! I only have to print the maps left and I'm ready. Both the hotel and the cinema are close to the railway station, so there's that.

Then there's the Once Upon A Time premiere, and it was amazing! So many things happening, lots of squeeing involved, and this new storyline looks even better than the last. I love all the new characters, they opened with a Lou Reed song, and they even did a little homage to Harry Potter. I want to hug them all!

Today was also the day of much deliciousness arriving by mail. My order on the Fortnum & Mason website arrived four days earlier:


I re-stocked mine and Tati's British teas, the ones we bought in London when we had that wonderful afternoon tea at Piccadilly. And since I was there, I bought some orange and ginger biscuits, and a jar of sweets I had never heard of before, called Black Jacks. God, I love trying new things. *_______*


And the rest of the Teen Wolf teas arrived, ten days early! Now my tea cabinet is exploding, and since it's 50 cups of tea each, I'm covered until late 2014. I must avoid new fandoms at all cost, or I'll fall into temptation, order new teas and I literally don't have the room. XD Yesterday I tried the Derek one, and it was GREAT. A peculiar taste, it made me think of... woods, and fog, and then there was the aconite taste, it was great and all the while it needs time to be fully understood. I have no idea how that woman manages to make these blends that taste great and at the same time describe the character in question perfectly. :D

Then, there's the new Green Day album, which I fell in love with at once. I first knew them with their concept albums, so it was weird to have new songs that remind me of the old ones, but in a good way. I'm especially in love with Carpe Diem and Oh Love, I keep finding myself humming them. *_____*

And of course, I saved the best for last, with the new Mumford & Sons album. It was well worth the wait, it's absolutely amazing. I keep changing my mind about my favourite song, at the moment it's a death match between Lover's Eyes (which is my Derek Hale number one song) and Not With Haste, but they're all so beautiful my heart can't choose.

The next entry is going to be in two days when I come back. Or tomorrow, if I get bored and my phone has good reception. See you on the flip side of the safety demonstration. Ciao!

Io arrivo per le 11.30 se tutto va bene. Sei sicura di arrivare così presto? C'è sciopero di bus e tram ma non dei treni, sciopera solo il personale delle pulizie, ma non è neanche gruppo FS. Mio zio (è capotreno) mi ha confermato che domani non ha nessuno sciopero.

Io purtroppo per arrivare a Milano prendo le Ferrovie Nord, che sono affiliate alle FS, ma fanno sciopero dalle 9.00 alle 18.00 ('sti simpaticoni), mentre dalle 8.45 alle 15.00 fanno sciopero i mezzi dell'ATM, compresi bus, tram e metrò, quindi arrivando dopo le 8.45 mi toccherebbe andare a piedi dalla stazione di Cadorna fino a Viale Tunisia, e sono tanti chilometri: non ce la farei mai!!! :(

Alla fine mi tocca prendere il treno delle 7.30 per arrivare in zona Centrale verso le 9.00 ed evitare gli scioperi... poi mi butto in qualche caffetteria/libreria e quindi - se volete - vi aspetto alla Stazione Centrale, perché tanto è lì che arriverò.

MA CHE STRONZI. E scusa il francese, ma sono senza parole.

Ti terrò aggiornata via sms, aspettaci al calduccio, mi raccomando!

I francesismi in questo caso sono più che giustificati, guarda! Praticamente ho dovuto rivoluzionare la giornata per andare dietro agli scioperi! :(

Non temete, comunque: alla Centrale c'è una Libreria Feltrinelli, quindi di certo non mi annoierò! ;)

Una volta aspettando un treno ho passato ben due ore e mezza alla Feltrinelli di Torino Porta Nuova, tirandomi dietro la valigia, che ricordi. :D
