.elderflower lemonade.

I made eldeflower lemonade this week. 

Here is the recipe:

Makes 5 liters.
20 clean fresh elderflower heads
800 gr sugar
10 organic lemons
10 raisins
2 tbsp of cider vinegar
8 liter of water

In one big recipient (or two if you don't have a big enough one), put the clean flowers, sugar, sliced lemons (it may better to take most of the zest off, as mine became a bit bitter), raisins and vinegar. Top up with still water. Put in the sun covered with a towel for 3 or 5 days (until you see bubbles coming up). Then strain into lemonade bottles and keep cool for 2 weeks. 
Serve chilled with some mint leaves.

.alla finestra.

Sitting, the rays of the sun burning my back, it is a good feeling, a sort of rebirth. Paolo Conte sings into my ear, last night's lack of sleep makes me feel in a dreamy-drowsy way and I like it so.

Tra le tue Braccia
Scuserai
questo inverno di foglie
e i pensieri che
vanno scalzi per lontane vie
via da te...via da me...

è un privilegio stare con te,

dolce persona vicino a me

Sentirai tra le dita

il respiro e la voce mia
che ti invita al mare,
o quel che sia...
sentirai, sentirai...

è un privilegio stare con te,

tutto è distante
niente lo è...

è un sortilegio

vivere in te
dolce persona vicina a me...

.nocturnes.

working tonight, the kids are sleeping, the boarding school is silent. but i can't sleep. i never had sleeping problems really, before working here. i guess its anxiety, what if something happens during the night, a sick teenager, or fire? responsability is kind of a heavy load. well, there's only two months left, before i start a new life. back to uni, back to the city...
