Tonight I am exhausted...really...but I am happy, and that's the only reason why I am writing...
The party has been really really nice...really really the way I wanted it to be...! I have worked all the day for it...preparing for over 20 people, but the satisfaction of seeing my friends happy for the food and the simple atmosphere was priceless...
I didn't feel the need to organize something big and complicated...but something rather simple and enjoyable...I didn't make to much of a plan...just wrote down some idea for the food on Friday and that's it...I think this reflects very well the way I am...which is curios...Is it always true? Can you tell what kind of person you are from the party you organize...? I guess so...
Nevertheless...I want to thank all the guys that turned up for having made the party nice...It's a shame that someone couldn't make it...for different reasons...but I am sure we will have other occasions to celebrate...Also thanks for the effort you made making cakes or bringing drinks...and from now on...if you fancy a cappuccino, just ring the bell... :)

Here we are...just turned 30...just left the 20s behind...ready for a new, definitely interesting decade...
To be honest I do not feel it to be a special birthday...one different from the others...
I remember many many things of last 10 years...but I cannot focus on a special one at the moment...Indeed I grown up a lot in these time...I left home almost 8 years ago by now...and from that point never came back to live there, if not for few days from time to time...therefore, willy-nilly, I had to start to think and behave in a different way...to do different things...to take a bit more of responsibility... It has been a slow constant learning process...still on its way of course...
Probably the biggest satisfaction has been the graduation...which anyway is not only a one day job...but the result of long years of lessons and books. It has been time for important decisions...above all moving to England...for good fun, and for unforgettable holidays...like the trip to the US with my granny, back in 2003...!!!
For the next thirty years the only thing I really wish is to look everything with the same interest (I'd say the same eyes, but I am not sure it makes sense) I had in this time...which is what makes the life interesting...regardless the age...regardless the place you are...
