This song has always meant the end of Summer, more than any other. It is a kinda nostalgic and sad, but so so beautiful. Sometimes it makes me think about some old unpleasant memories but it doesn't last more than few minutes... The right amount, the duration of this extraordinary song.

They say that Monday is always so hectic! Well for a normal person working Monday to Friday yes... for me that I work on duties and rarely know what a weekend is it is probably one of my days off lol Anyway this Monday morning was absolutely full of things to do... appointment to postpone, appointment to fix, paying car insurance, taking my son to school, going to the car dealer to change the date of the car check (my manager has changed my original duty), going to the groceries... And cherry on top of this Monday cake I'm going to work from 2 to 10 pm! Geeez! Well happy day to me! :D

Hello Noisers! Hope you are having a lovely Sunday I'm off today I'm incredibly surprised by the fact that it's my 3rd Sunday off...! A weird happening usually it happens once every 2 months! It's ok it's good for me and I'm really enjoying it as long as I had 3 days of fire at work😬 Yesterday I went to the supermarket and bought a good bottle of red wine product of my region, this cantina called Fontana Morella is located in Cerveteri, just few kilometers far from my city! It's a Protected Italian Regional Product, means that it can be made just with local grapes! Great isn't it? So cheers everyone and... Happy Sunday! Ps. Don't drink too much tho, the reactions can be nasty😉 La società dei Magnaccioni - Gabriella Ferri https://youtu.be/Fu--RxF-Hq4 #nofilterchallenge by @Lizbabel22 #asongforyou by @Yelenab

Working weeks are intense lately, I'm working hard but my heart is not happy. I just have to be strong and try to be super positive and face all the best I can. Unfortunately a day has just 24 hours I really need at least 36 so I could do all the things I have to 🤪 Anyway can you believe? It's October guys and it has arrived so fast...! Here in Italy the weather has been so cool, no rain always sunny! The temperatures are a bit chilly in the mornings and at night but it's ok, it's my second fav time of the year after Spring time! I have shooted a big pumpkin at the grocery 2 days ago but I had no time to post it🤭 Soon it will be Halloween! Enjoy your Friyay Noisers! #nofilterchalleng by @Lizbabel22

#asongforyou by @Yelenab Oggi voglio fare un post polemico e anche antipatico, lo voglio dedicare a quelle persone che in un modo o nell'altro con il loro comportamento feriscono o creano disagio agli altri. Quando ci sentiamo in diritto di pretendere, sollecitare, imporre o semplicemente credere di poter campare diritti su chiunque per partito preso, non funziona così. E no. Se fate un gesto carino ma lo fate solo perché vi aspettate un tornaconto, non è un gesto carino. Se siete gentili solo perché questo serve per ingraziarsi le persone, avete sbagliato. Se siete maleducati, invadenti o finti simpatici non aspettatevi che gli altri abbiano nei vostri confronti la tolleranza, non va. A 51 anni ho compreso che certe falsità restano falsità e io non ho intenzione di perdere tempo con tutto questo. La porta è aperta a chiunque con la sola ed unica regola del rispetto, per cui al minimo accenno di mancanza di rispetto, io vi saluto elegantemente senza fare drammi o soap opera. Se invece a voi va di fare Milagros, beh non è un mio problema, per quello ci sono i terapisti. Today I want to make a controversial post and even antipathetic, I want to dedicate it to those people who in one way or another with their behavior hurt or create discomfort to others. When we feel entitled to demand, urge, impose or simply believe that we can have rights on anyone for the sake of taking sides, it does not work like that. And it doesn't. If you do a nice gesture but you only do it because you expect a payoff, it's not a nice gesture. If you are only nice because that is to ingratiate yourself with people, you are wrong. If you are rude, intrusive or fake nice, don't expect others to have tolerance for you, it's not right. At 51 years of age, I have realized that certain falsehoods remain falsehoods and I am not going to waste my time with this. The door is open to anyone with the one and only rule of respect, so at the slightest hint of disrespect, I greet you elegantly without drama or soap opera. If on the other hand you feel like doing Milagros, well that's not my problem, for that there are therapists. Cannonball - Supertramp https://youtu.be/I35wDSojwFw

Wandering on the edges of your breath (Poem) And I'll seem to love those lips and that grimace more, while exiled I wander on the edges of your every breath When the echo of the words whispered late at night, will return to the dark and porous corners of memories I will seem to drown in the waves of lack, while violating what I deny to everyone, I find you again And the power that I release in these lonely moments, expands northward, running on the surface of the water to you To shatter against the wall of your lies Each time I hope that one of my sighs, still alive between your red sheets, will reach out and grab the heart I left on your nightstand, in a last heroic act to save me from you ... But you are cruel and you have engraved your spell on this soul and I, who deceived myself as a princess, know that there is no salvation... With love I blossomed on your belly In love I remain, my King. [2017©Yelena b.] Please visit these amazing users

Strange evening...even the crows above the abandoned power plant are fighting making a big racket. The sky is full of grey clouds... in the west there are the last flashes of pink of a beautiful sunset. The notes of Loreena McKennitt make the whole atmosphere even more evocative. It's humid this silence tonight, I support it along with everyone else. Cats wander around me.... I am alone tonight. In a little while I will light a candle and incense and enjoy the darkness. Have a good evening to all of you too... [September 25th, 2015©Yelena b.] All souls night - Loreena McKennitt https://youtu.be/R_LWCpbk7hA

My day off was not so off lol I had to do some important things, first take my son to school and then went to the car dealer to get an appointment for a regular check to my new car. Due to covid stop I could not do it last year. I hope I won't spend too much money on it -_- Then visited my parents to discuss about some family matters and the whole morning flew away... ... I'm already tired...! I have spotted these roses in a garden and had to stop to get a pic, they were so beautiful! Happy Monday!

#asongforyou by @Yelenab I wanted to write a good caption for this song but actually her voice tells it all... I have always love her unique style, she is one if the smoothest female voices of the 80s. I'm sure you know her and her great songs Smooth Operator - Sade https://youtu.be/lgAmno8icDM My day has been hectic and stressing... I'm sipping a glass of white wine, it's still so hot here in Rome... Good night Noisers!
@Yelenab
Hello everyone Member n. 8 at your service! Just few minutes ago I have found a very special picture stored in my archive! I was at the shuttle stop waiting for the shuttle to take me to the terminal 3 departures for my duty at work The sky was just amazing it was very early in the morning and everything seemed wrapped in a veil! Good morning noisers!!!
@Yelenab
What a memory! Facebook remember me of this amazing moment It was September 25th 2010 and a little mantis enter my room from the opened window, my son and I were watching tv and saw this incredible creature hanging on the ceiling fan little string! Luckily I had no cats at that time so we had not to worry about them🤭 My son gently took him on his fingers, so I could take a fast pic! I was so excited I had never seen such a beauty before! I even didn't think there were mantis in my place! So cool! After a moment of admiration we just let him out of the window again and he flew away! #nofilterchallenge by @Lizbabel22

Hello Everyone! Due to a strike of Alitalia workers all the viability around the airport is blocked! I don't know how to go to work today...! In case you don't know Alitalia is the most important Airline in Italy and has a bad economic situation, let's say it is very near to bankruptcy. The workers leaded by Unions are shouting against the company cuts on personnel and other decisions that put at risk the job of thousands of people! This morning they stopped flights now they are blocking the highway... It's a hard time for a lots of families. 😔

I celebrate (poem) I celebrate dusty anniversaries I have a calendar on my heart Made of handwritten emotions I should erase their meaning by scraping them a bit But it's hard to reason with my soul I'd like to explain to her that you can't go back to where you were happy! I would like to explain her that the love she feels Will never be returned And yet she loves And goes over the contours revives the colors smiles remembers lives I caress her and I dedicate my nostalgia to her daughter of her and her tumults sister of my little restlessness [2018©Yelena b.] Poem belongs to me, all right reserved

I'm very happy today! My son had a very difficult exam as a volunteer firefighter and he got the maximum 30/30! I'm so proud of him so I took him out for dinner to celebrate! First we went to see San Michele Tower an ancient tower built in 1500 by Vatican, took some pics and then had a walk in the port of Ostia at sunset. We had sushi in our fav restaurant later on just chatting and laughing. It's time to say good night my fellow noise mates, sweet dreams everyone! #nofilterchallenge by @Lizbabel22

Sepia effect. It is one of my fav edit, I shooted this months ago and then I have edited it with snapseed app. Love this filter in particular, pics become a sort of old and lost in time subject, like a fading memory locked in one of the millions rooms of our brain. Don't you think? #monochromeexperiments by @Yelenab

Another day has gone my noise mates! My day off was super busy, I need a clone! She can go to work and do all the annoying things while I have a nap lol Just kidding It's the last day of full moon and the sky is so bright, the streets seem so quite... I'll try to reach you tomorrow I really need a good sleep! I just leave here today's sunset at sea!

Slambook Challenge My lovely friend @KrisCastro tagged me on a funny article about a challenge launched by @fantagira and here I am trying to figure it out! It's 9 pm here in Rome and I'm struggling with Billo desperately asking for food poor dear... I could not find their fav paté and they hate every kind of other humid food! So he is meowing right now and looking at me like 'Hooman you are fired' But let's not waste time in feline distractions! This challenge is pretty personal, I usually don't tell so much about my personal interests or such stuff like hobbies, I like to write about my emotions, but never tell anecdotes about me as a kid. What I can say is that I was like a boy, cos I used to run, jump and climb trees lol let's say I've never been so girly, I don't like pink or light blue, or dresses and laces, I don't like wearing jewels too, but I go mad for pins of all kinds! The thing that upset me the most as a child was being mistaken for a male because I wore my hair short and pants! Guess I couldn't help it cos I couldn't wear a skirt without catching colds with high fever, so my mom just decide to buy me pants only🙄 Me at 2 yo Me at 6 yo Where did your name come from? I actually don't know. My name is Alessandra and has Greek origin, it means 'men protector'. I think it was my mum's choice but I'm not sure as long as I have never asked What are your hobbies and interests? Well I have many actually, the first is creative writing, music, gardening and photography. Infact I have tons and tons of pics in my gallery as I have tons and tons of playlists on Spotify, Youtube! As I am a half century woman I have tons of records, cassettes and cds too. I used to draw when I was a teenager, but now I rarely get a pencil... I also like to collect Miyazaki movies and cartoons in general that I use to watch with my son. What are your talents/skills? My friends say that I'm creative and inventing, that I'm a problem solving. I'm good at crosswords and words games in general, but I'm a total disaster with math. My English is really good and that's really unusual in Italy, trust me. Always according to my friends I am very good at doing my job, I'm a waitress in a Ramen Restaurant, now closed due to covid, actually working in a Pizzeria, same big company management. What are the things you are grateful for recently? I'm grateful that I have made it after covid emergency, cos many people have lost their jobs here in Italy. And I'm truly grateful for my friends/colleagues cos before being a team at work we really respect and love each other. What are your future life projects? There are so many things I could name... I want to see my son fulfil his career as a Firefighter and then I want to travel to places I've seen just in pic, posted by my Display and Noise friends. I have a cocktail to sip with Toni (Frenchtoast), I'm planning to visit my Cave Woman Marisa, promised a long chat with Jerryl, bringing Unicors pins to Zoe (Nina Navida's daughter)... there are so many people I really want to hug and these are just few of my millions dreams and projects for my future! To end this article I want to thank the Ladies I have mentioned at the beginning @CoquiCoin , @Mictorrani , @MartinaStella , @maxpollins, @Bloghound , @MegaKyodaiBanrai , @Freylin and @aj_u2 for being awesome! Thanks for reading! Text belongs to me as pics!

I like to throw leftovers on my terrace to feed the birds, they have got used to this so they are always ready to come over as they see me doing it. Well there is always someone else interesting in it... But too lazy to act like a predator lol Milù watches them eating just lying on the floor...

It's pretty late and I'm still up. Came home from work an hour ago and my son and me sat at the kitchen table and ate something together, for our midnight snack. I'll be off tomorrow and I finally can sleep more than usual, no school too so I'm very happy. And a song popped up in my Spotify list while I was driving home... I found myself smiling and singing. Maybe it's not the best song, but you know? I need a happy thought and they are always there to give me that happy thought! #asongforyou by @Yelenab Crazy Crazy Nights - KISS https://youtu.be/lUmAHiTT5Kc

#asongforyou by @Yelenab Today is dedicated to my sweetest Silvia @Sissim72 We crossed paths on a social now 7 years ago, it seems like yesterday though! We've been through a lot, right Silvia? We have! Sometimes it takes a lot of patience and sometimes it takes a lot of shit, but it's always better to be a child inside than an idiot adult :') Lovviù #asongforyou by @Yelenab Oggi è dedicato alla mia dolcissima Silvia. Ci diamo incrociate su un social ormai 7 anni fa, mi pare ieri però! Ne abbiamo passate tante vero Silviè? Eh si!

Lazy mornings starts like this for my furbabies, while I'm up and fully operating they just stay in bed like kings and queens🤣 Especially Milù, so calm and cuddling... Good morning Noisers It's Monday and a new week starts! In Rome it's 8.42 and it's time to get my son to high school. I'll drive to Ostia, get fuel, go to the groceries and then back home for daily cleaning! Happy day everyone! #thethreemosCATeers by @Yelenab #Macchia #Milù

Thanks for your comment @SliceOfArt about Duran Duran! I want to post a very special song from a very particular album, an experimental one by just 3 of DD's members. The album made its appearance in 1985 and can count on many great contribution, like Sting and Gilmour, just to name 2 of them. The sounds are so cool that many music critics were pleasantly surprised by it. The title of that album is So red the Rose and today I want to share with you one instrumental song, long version cos in the album it lasts just few minutes! So here my suggestion for the day #asongforyou by @Yelenab Rose arcana (extended) - Arcadia https://youtu.be/ouu8vAoJfaQ Pics, my drawing of the cover of that album, made when I was 18

The moon is high tonight, it is not yet full but you can easily see Jupiter right there, just near in conjunction.

@Yelenab
I take what comes and feel blessed of what I have Whenever I get a nickname like 'princess', I cringe, I become wary. I have (almost) stopped refusing hugs although not completely, sometimes the urge to oppose hands is still strong, I can't avoid it, they are all still 'enemies' in my eyes. I have transformed over the years, I have lost confidence, I no longer dream I live in the day, watching the days quickly alternate, become weeks, months, years. In the meantime I take what comes, without too many questions. I don't expect great things even now, that I could make medium range plans I don't, I'm not used to it I'm always afraid of failing The last 8 years have been really bad, they passed quickly, but the intensity of the events and everything that followed, created a deep crater inside. I never talk about myself to those around me, I can't, I sound more like a clown, I laugh, I downplay When you are used to being strong alone, silence becomes your only element, your comfort zone, a space accessible only to you and no one else Life's revolutions always come when you hit a dead end, when you stubbornly insist on saying 'everything is fine' even when inside you know exactly that it's a lie. I lied to myself so many times until the moment I couldn't do it anymore and everything collapsed. I should have known that certain happiness was not planned in my life and I ended up sinning with too much hope, picking up the pieces of everything else Loneliness isn't so bad after all, one must first lose oneself to understand the meaning of one's existence and it doesn't necessarily have to be two people. I have only learned that there are two impossible ones, that they can never be two, they must remain one until the end. I wanted so much for this to come true, I wanted to be a happy wife and mother and I found myself alone, begging for attention and love I had failed Lost time can't be made up and so you start over, doing what you can with what's left. You let your dreams pass you by, you dim your desires, you stop thinking about tomorrow, you balance yourself with nothing and make up a new show Sometimes a thought crosses my mind, that maybe I'm living a life of transition, that the best will come in the next one and that the cycle will end with a 'happily ever after', but this life is not a fairy tale and sometimes I'd like to go into the woods and tell the wolf to stay hidden and never be found by humans: we are filthy beings capable of any infamy, passing it off as love.

It's a lovely Saturday! It's pretty hot and the sky is amazingly full of big white clouds! On this day of the week my city is so busy, there is a big market and many comes to buy stuff here. I'm waiting for my son, then we will go home to prepare lunch. I'm planning to cook a risotto with fish, so yummy! What's your plans for today guys?

Arghhh! Macchia has captured a dragonfly and brought the poor thing on my bed while I was sleeping! Luckily I haven't hurt her, I managed to catch her before my hunter feline could harm her wings!!! I had checked if she had all her legs too and then took her out of my terrace, far from my cats! She flew away, free again! Now I'm fully awake and it's 1.44 am and guess what! Macchia is sleeping peacefully as nothing has happened -_-

Good morning Noise Mates! How is the weather there? Here in Rome it has finally rained! After a long dry period (since March I think) we finally had some true refreshment from the hot temperatures of past Summer! Today I'm not watering plants and finally those nasty mealybugs will die! I just need to find a good place where I can keep my lovely red peppers protected from bad weather of this upcoming Winter! By the way they are still growing and growing and getting more spicy too!!!

80s were the best decade musically speaking. There are so many great artists and bands born during that period that made history. One band I really like is Tears for Fears, some of their hits are still a classic of pop! Do you remember this band? This is their very first song 'And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very...'

I must let you go because the world is waiting for you, my son. Now my job will be to make you think. I always have, but now you are at the door, one step further is your adolescence. It came quickly, as we were seeding the path together, we didn't realize it right away...now that it's here, I'm out of breath. You don't belong to me, you know. You belong to your life that is now calling to you. I just have to step aside and tell you that the path will be hard and uphill, but it's up to you and what we put inside that precious Soul of yours. I am there, even if I let go of your hand, know, that whenever you need to cross a difficult bridge, she will be there. I love you. Mom [2018©Yelena B.] Devo lasciarti andare perché il mondo ti aspetta, figlio mio. Ora il mio compito sarà quello di farti pensare. L'ho sempre fatto, ma ora sei alla porta, un passo avanti è la tua adolescenza. È arrivata in fretta, mentre stavamo seminando il cammino insieme, non ce ne siamo accorti subito... ora che è qui, sono senza fiato. Tu non mi appartieni, lo sai. Appartieni alla tua vita che ora ti sta chiamando. Devo solo farmi da parte e dirti che il cammino sarà duro e in salita, ma dipende da te e da quello che mettiamo dentro quella tua preziosa Anima. Io ci sono, anche se ti lascio la mano, sappi che ogni volta che dovrai attraversare un ponte difficile, lei ci sarà. Ti voglio bene. Mamma [2018©Yelena B.]
