Era la macchina da cucire delle nonne, quella con il grosso volano azionato a mano o con la pedivella.
Aveva la laccatura nera e le scritte serigrafate in oro.
Tutti i componenti: aghi, bobine, spolete, e quant’altro, erano, ovviamente, rigorosamente analogici ed artigianali.
Ci si facevano vestiti, tovaglie, lenzuola ecc..
Si rammendavano i calzini, le maniche dei maglioni (specie sui gomiti), ma non solo, all’occorrenza si tesseva anche tutto il corredo perché questo era importantissimo, unico, esclusivo e pertanto necessitava di una cura speciale nella realizzazione….

Let me just point out that it is a statement Storm stands for, and not a wish the rest of us share.
I go back to February in this photo. Some ask if the sun is always blue over Fjaerland, and the answer is sadly no. I am afraid Flickr is a fake reality, if not as bad as Facebook. We post mostly the sunny photos and the ones where the belly somehow looks smaller than in reallity.
Today there is a heavy and cold rain coming down. Not nice, and I will not post pictures of it, but I must admitt that it removes the snow a lot more effective than sun in day and frost at night.
There is a lot more photos in the first comment.
I often like rock versions of well known songs. It is hardly ever wrong to add a punch in the arrangement, nor power in the vocals. One I found a few weeks ago is Bad Wolves version of Cranberries Zombie. I really like this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XaS93WMRQQ
If you want to learn more about the story behind it, then read on further. I feel this to be a good version, and the reason behind it a touching one.
"One of our most asked-about songs recently has been the cover of "Zombie" done by the rock group Bad Wolves
Personally, the first time I heard this song, it instantly became one of my favorites. The haunting lyrics...the slow build to a chorus that's almost impossible NOT to turn the volume up to 10 and sing along to. Obviously, most of us have heard this song from the Cranberries original version in 1994.
According to Songfacts , the song is about the Irish Republican Army, who in 1993 set off bombs in a busy shopping area near Liverpool, England that killed a 3-year-old and 12-year-old boy and injured more than 50. Although they said ( according to the New York Times ) that they "profoundly" regretted the death and injuries.The Irish rebellion against British power began in 1916, hence the lyrics " it's the same old theme since 1916..." from the Cranberries version of the song.
Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan claimed that "Zombie" speaks about "the Irish fight for independence that seems to last forever."
According to Songfacts:
On August 31, 1994, just a few weeks after this song was released, the IRA declared a ceasefire after 25 years of conflict, leading some critics of The Cranberries to wonder if the IRA was willing to call a truce to make sure the group didn't release any more songs about them.
Fast-Forward to 2018:
The hard-rock band Bad Wolves wanted to do a cover of this song. They recorded a demo and in order to get clearance on the copyright laws of the song, sent it to management of the Cranberries. Management let the band hear it, and O'Riordan liked the song so much that she said she'd lend her vocals to this new version of it.
When news got back to Bad Wolves, they were excited about the opportunity and ecstatic that O' Riordan wanted to collaborate on it.
According to an interview, lead singer Tommy Vext said " She was really excited about that because the nations may have changed but we're still fighting the same battles today. Humanity is still fighting to assert itself despite all the conflicts."
The day that O'Riordan was set to join Bad Wolves in the studio for recording, she sadly passed away in her hotel room.
According to an interview with Billboard , , Vext and his bandmates were shocked and were at a crossroads: do they just 'shelf' the song and forget about it...or do they release it anyway?
They felt releasing it may be bad for their image as they didn't want to make it look like they were capitalizing on O'Riordan's death.
Instead, they decided that all the proceeds they made from the single release would go to O'Riordan's children. Meanwhile, it was pushed to Rock radio stations in the USA. The song follows suit with successful covers from 'Modern Rock' bands of older songs such as Disturb's "Sound of Silence" (originally done by Simon and Garfunkel )and Five Finger Death Punch's "Gone Away" (originally done by The Offspring ) and "House of the Rising Sun" (originally done by The Animals .)
