Yesterday I finished working early, and at 6 o'clock I was at home, with lot of free time, so I decided to go running in the fields round my house for one hour.
I came back home, as hungry as only Obelix can be, I entered the kitchen and ... minestrone! Minestrone?!??? But we are in summer!!! :O
Ok, I give up, prepare a plate full of minestrone and go to have a shower. Back again in the kitchen I found that the plate is vanished and my mom: "I put it in the , I didn't want the minestrone to be cold!"

3000 fahrenheit degrees!!!
I think I sweated more during eating my minestrone than in running for one hour.

One day or another I have to go to wolf's house and have back my mp3 player, so I can listen to the radio: running for one hour having fixed in my mind "E Raffaella canta a casa mia! E Raffaella è mia solo mia!" (and only this two sentences, going on and on and on ...) it's not the top

Ok, so even this year the Towel day has come.
It's a day celebrating Douglas Adams, the author of "the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy", and all you have to do to celebrate this day is to bring a towel with you all day long.
You can find more info on wikipedia

And remember: don't panic!
(ok, panic! )

It's been all year long that I go to the gym, and I interleave body building sessions with at least one aerobic session in a week.
The last year this lesson was with fitbox, while this year, since I changed my working site and consequently all my timetable, I went to total body sessions: it's a lession with step and the help of some weigths in order to train every muscle in the body, obviously mad in rythm with music.

Yesterday it was the last session of the year (it's getting too hot for me to stay in the gym), and after one year of training, in the first exercise where I had to stretch a rubber band, I easily wrenched it: super Saiyan is still here

The best part of the lession where the 20 girls involved in it, even the instructor, and I was the only male
Mental note: remember to reserver total body lessons on wednesday and not friday as usual

Yesterday morning I had my footing (just 4 km run) in the Cormor park, before going to work. Differently from thursday, when I went running in the lunch time and I saw the chicks passing by, yesterday I noticed that all the gymn tools have been changed since last winter.
They are far better than old ones, with a big and well explaining picture about the exercise to do.

The only things wrong with that is about the rings and a rope to climb. Now, I am tonic, i practise fitness every other day, but I am not so good like the pic suggested me to do: I had to make the cross at the rings like Jury Chechi Chechi Juri; and even if I was able to do the cross, there were space enough between the left ring and the support. Since there are two couples of rings, I used the upper ones, and raised myself with the power of my arms; again, the ropes where too short, so I hit the crossing beam with my head. Maybe the target of the exercise was to train the head muscles

Second note about the spot with a rope and a perch: the target is to climb both of them. But the top of the rope was about at only 2 meters from the field, and since I am over 6 feet tall, I just raised my hand to reach the top: again I think I didn't get the target of the exercise

Last week I had a couple of days of holidays, since here in Italy we had the first may of vacation, so I took also monday for a 4 days holiday, so I took advantage of this free time and made some toy cars for the children of two friends of mine Mauro and Franco

This time I used expanded polystyrene, covered with liquid ceramic and varnished all.

I just hope they resist to these 2 young guys, or maybe in the next release I will improve crash resistance

To see the cars, just click here (by now only in italian, but there is photogallery)

After a decade, I have to change my own car, and I will miss it, since it's the first car I owned and buyed by myself, I made a lot of road with it, and had a lot of girls, also
Anyway, it's time for a change, so here it is the list of the car I would like to buy

• Opel Astra: the car seller didn't noticed me for a long while, so I went away. I've go to go back again


• Toyota Auris: nice, but I thought it was bigger, and a bit exepnsive


• Seat Leon: very nice, it's big enough for me even in the back seats, and I was offered a good price


• Ford Focus: same as Leon, but I don't like the concept much; I gave a good price with a 3600€ of reduction, but only if I buy by the end of the month


• Update (26/04/07) I have seen Mazda 3: really fine car, I am confortable even on the back seats, big baggage car; I like most Seat Leon as line, but this car is about 1000 cheaper


• Update (09/05/07) Last week I have been to see Pegeout 307; as I entered I was quickly asked by the receptionist, and he told me to wait for the vendors to be free. But I think I was unpleasant, because as the vendors were free it seemed they didn't want to talk with me, they told me to go to the other vendor, apologizing always with excuses (phone call, customer waiting, going to the officine and so on), so after a 40 minutes wait I went away. I think I won't buy a Pegeout

Still to see: Alfa 147, Renault Megane, Citroen C4, Volksvagen Golf, Fiat Bravo.
Ciaps!
