Today I’m in college and I’m staying late to study in the library, so todays post is an early indulgence
Allesandra Fortuna is a cook who tucks her tea towel down her bra straps before getting stuck in making pasta from scratch. don’t you adore her? My plan is to visit Italy with my friend Nige in 2026
Our trip to Madrid seems real now as I’ve booked our tickets to see the lisping choir and Metropolitan Orchestra of Madrid. I’m also looking at booking a Spanish cooking afternoon “experience” too which sounds great fun ( sparked by the Italian video) , so it won’t surprise you that I’ve also decided to learn Spanish when I complete my counselling diploma . I will start that in September
This impressed me too
And finally this , shivers up the spine
The best mini series Anne with an A
The choir and orchestra's enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteAnd A capella singing always touches something important.
It is good to have something to look forward to... September, a change of season as well.
The choir and that soloist is amazing
DeleteI think Spanish is a lovely language, easy to learn and speak it, but to listen to.... oh so fast!!!
ReplyDeleteI know , I need to have a Spanish speaking boyfriend
DeleteNearly 8 minutes of someone cooking is too much for me, but I lasted 3 minutes because I love Anna Fortuna, even more because of that sign tacked to the cabinet door behind her. Sounds like a great trip is planned.
ReplyDeleteA man that can speak Spanish , I need to visit u
DeleteGood for you, learning Spanish. You'll be able to sing along with your choir when you go to Madrid. Reminds me of the line in dinnerladies, "I learnt 'grassy arse', just in case, but I didn't need it!" xx
ReplyDeleteSo funny
DeleteHer cleaver skills are terrifyingly good. Have you ever made Pasta? A cooking class sounds delightful.
ReplyDeleteI have once , I nearly died of stress
DeleteWell, thanks to your video, my new obsession is Alessandra Fontana, her pasta-making virtuosity, her knife skills, and her huge forearm tattoo FONTANA! That tattoo must be pretty recent because many of her other videos don't have it. She is a huge TikTok and IG sensation at the moment, and deserves to be!
ReplyDeleteI love her too xx
DeleteA trip to Madrid sounds lovely and the cooking class will be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSpanish is a melodic language. I'm told it is not a difficult language to learn.
I hope so Sue x
DeleteYou have lots of fun things to look forward to, John. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThere’s method in my madness
DeleteIt's people like Anna that SHOULD be making money from Instagram and TikTok, so although I understand her reasons for not wanting to, I think she should I only to drown out all the idiots that are earning big money from stupid and dangerous stunts. Good luck with learning a new language, I'm afraid I stopped at schoolgirl French.
ReplyDeleteI need to lisp
DeleteAllesandra is not only an amazing cook, obviously, she is stunningly beautiful. In my opinion anyway.
ReplyDeleteI agree but I also think that you are quite beautiful
DeleteA beautiful magician in the kitchen . An equally beautiful soul.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of your offerings also struck a chord.
I love her bra strap moments
DeleteWhat delightful eye and ear candy! Ta, John!!
ReplyDeleteLove your travel plans and hope they happen without a hitch of any sort.
By the end of 8th grade, I was thinking in Spanish and so wish I hadn't switched to Latin.
Hugs!
I did Latin for a year , hated it
DeletePrincess Catherine IS a dazzling beauty. Always classy.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t she just, I had to salute her
DeleteFree advice from my many years of language study: Right after please and thank you, learn how to say "I am only a student, please speak slowly!".
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, language study is good for the brain and its so polite to be able to say anything in the language of the country one is visiting.

Good advice
