Interesting backing track to nice video summary @plavarda just what I needed right this moment, some light soothing orchestral music. Nice video editing also. What video editing software did you use Paolo?

Ciao @AdamGT Pump this music for real !!! It is composed by my son and has had online appreciation from well-known Italian rock singers and deejays, but it is difficult to break into the world of music. The other video is also my son’s music, so I have no copyright problems !!! Join two groups with original songs mostly written by him. My daughter, on the other hand, is a photographer and has already prepared the cover photograph of my novel. An artistic family that means always spending money and never earning it, but life is beautiful like this, without worries. Ah Ah Ah!!! what do you say? :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

A big hug

Oh how I know how difficult it can be to break into the music world @plavarda , and more so these days. It takes a lot of time, effort and dedication, lots of gigs here and there, as well as needing to build up a big fan base. Then, if that isn’t enough, on top of all that you need luck! Photography I know is also a tough profession. However, I am sure that both your son and daughter enjoy what they do. I hope that you will show us the cover photograph of your novel :wink:

@AdamGT a few more chapters of the fourth part and I’m done. Then I move on to revising the text! It is the first time that I try to do this feat, I had a beautiful story of several women that I unified into a single woman and I wanted to tell it! Then it is certainly a good exercise also in understanding the soul of others. The story starts at the end of the Second World War to get to the present day and strange but true it does not talk about me :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face: My daughter’s photo represents the drama of life and its difficulties in communicating, both oral and emotional. (So I interpreted it)

Grazie Adam!

Ciao

Wow @plavarda I’m struggling to understand what you mean by unifying several women into a single woman so it all sounds fascinating. I have to say that I have never thought to write a book although we all have experiences in life that calls for it. I certainly have! In my teens a girlfriend and I rented a house and there was one room that was locked and we were not allowed to enter this room. It was locked in a very strange way as the door had several (2 or 3) padbolt type locks on it the type you would see on a gate and not on an internal door of a house. Using padbolts was most unusual! It also had one external window that was boarded up from the inside. Obviously this room was deliberately made difficult to break into. The room wasn’t a secret or hidden room in any way. It was just like the other rooms off the main hallway which we and visitors would walk past. But it was seriously locked up! This was an old house however was completely renovated and quite modern on the inside but looked it’s age on the outside. Cutting a long story short we found out by accident that the owner was a widow who had no family but was in a nursing home and we imagined that our rent was paying her expenses there. It was really weird living in a house but not being allowed to enter one room! It took several months before the suspense and curiosity started to bite. I cannot say more at this time but you know what teenagers are like. We were evicted and lost are bond.

@AdamGT sure that your story is also curious, very curious, certainly a lot of horror, and you have created a lot of suspense! Brrrr. The story of my book is very simple: I was commissioned by the court to follow a lady, who was no longer able to look after her interests as she was mentally handicapped. In the nursing home where she was staying, I collected the life stories of several hospitalized women and unified them in a single story, with a single protagonist named Diomira! I hope I was clearer and that the automatic translator translates in an understandable way. :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

Ciao Adam

Much clearer and perfect translation @plavarda . Was this a true story? Funny how both our stories involve ladies in a nursing home! Brrrr.

@AdamGT women in nursing homes also lose their inhibitions and tell strangers things they haven’t told anyone!

I hope I have told it well!

If you have a good automatic translator and reading is your passion, this is the first part: Diomira

My first attempt at translating failed but i have to say I love the cover photo, very intriguing and the layout looks very impressive @plavarda . I will keep trying to translate and read. In the meantime I have to say when at first I looked at this photo I thought you had one of those loooong tandem bikes. Next time, try spinning one around and make it look so :wink:

@AdamGT sure!! who knows how much suspense and how many questions will be asked seeing a tandem in the photo, and I can already imagine the curiosity of some to find out if one of the two is sick! But people can’t ask you this, it’s not being politically correct and therefore curiosity remains. Great Adam !! It is really a silly situation like me!!! :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

Ciao @plavarda ,

altra tappa meravigliosa, vi invidio davvero nell’intraprendere questo viaggio (questi tuoi viaggi in generale) ma che vi permette di vedere e vivere tutti questi posti.

Gli ultimi minuti con il tramonto sono semplicemente magnifici.

Grazie come sempre per il tuo diario di viaggio :blush: .

@LuigiZ @Il tramonto alla Scala dei turchi è qualcosa di veramente emozionante che andrebbe vissuta appieno. Magari la prossima volta di vado senza macchine fotografiche, io e la natura!:heart:
