SUNDAY'S IMAGES

Lazy Tora...

Spitafields Market.


Not so cold today...

Let's go for tea!

At Patisserie Valerie...


My new phone cover.

My hyacints are slowly opening. I think they might be pink...

Onigiri with left over rice...

Became yaki-onigiri!

I put them in a soup with the mentaiko Tommy brought me from Japan.

I RECOMMEND...

"The Solitude of Prime Numbers", by Paolo Giordano.
It is only available in Italian at the moment. The English translation will be out in June, published by Doubleday. A truly amazing book for its honesty and depth. I really hope it won't be ruined by a cinematographic version. It was my Christmas present from Laura and Marta and I read it too quickly. I don't usually read much in Italian anymore, which is not good, as sometimes when speaking I can't find the right words. I don't know how this title caught my attention and I was pleasently surprised to find it under the tree on Christmas day.

"Mattia thought that Alice and he where like two twin primes, lonely and lost, close, but never enough to touch for real. He never told her that."
