A blade of grass 2.

A different view of the same kind of grass in yesterday's blip.

I've spent some precious time with my grand children over the last few days. As we are so heavily laden with work during this summer, leaving us no time for a holiday break, we try to see the kids in the evening, whenever we can.

In my mind's eye, I can still see Lorenzo (our future football star) doing crazy things with a football, flying through the air at break neck speed, legs all over the place. Watch this space, he has already been picked for the ROMA team to everyone's delight. Lorenzo
Then, Alessandro, taking his time to make his choice at the book shop , which turned out to be about natural science, while Lorenzo chose a Micky Mouse almanac.
Then Valeria, eating an enormous amout of pizza. She is very slim and we wonder where she puts it and where it goes. Valeria again, at the circus, joining in a game with other children, playing musical chairs with the clown and other kids. She won, of course. I knew she was going to win, very gracefully and very, very fast.
And last but not least, Dennis the Menace, Massimo at his first circus, full of exitement and quiet for the duration. He reminded me of his father, Luca who at two and a half, at his first circus, sat still in his push chair for the first time since he was born.

Somehow life makes sense again.
