"Будет дождь?" Спросил я "мальчика", который разбудил меня в это утро.
Он посмотрел на облака; затем без колебаний произнёс:
- Да сэр; до полудня начнётся дождь.
- И потом?
- И потом тоже.
Я сообщил об этом пророчестве принцу Боргезе.
"Итала" была готова к гонке и ждала свой экипаж у маленькой виллы итальянского министра. Этторе сделал еще один узел, натянув какую-то веревку, и, обутый в сверкающую (на фото перед миссией ботинки выглядят несколько иначе - Р.Б.) пару высоких ботинок, медленно ходил вокруг своей машины. В семь часов утра морской конвой на поезде отправился в Нанькоу, а за ночь до этого под командованием Пьетро, ма-фу (?) нашего представительства, Пекин покинули две повозки, на которых находился наш багаж и демонтированный кузов автомобиля.
Ничего не оставалось делать, лишь ждать час старта - самое гнетущее времяпрепровождение. Казалось, что стрелки часов пять минут преодолевают в течение часа. Мы стали обмениваться прощальными приветствиями. Нас окружили наши офицеры, выражая добрые пожелания, и похлопывая нашу машину, точно подбадривая её, как лошадь.
Вдруг монах-капуцин, с открытым, приятным и решительным лицом, в спешке приближается к нам и с неподдельным энтузиазмом даёт нам свое благословение. Это был капеллан итальянского посольства и гарнизона.
“Is it going to rain?” I asked the “boy” who called me in the morning.
He gazed up at the clouds ; then replied unhesitatingly:
“Yes, sir; it will rain before noon.”
“And after?”
“It will rain afterwards, too.”
I reported the prophecy to Prince Borghese.
The Itala lay in readiness before the Italian Minister’s little villa. Ettore was tying one more knot, pulling one more rope, and walking with long steps around his machine, himself shod with a resplendent pair of top-boots. At seven o’clock that morning the marine escort had taken the train for Nankow, and the night before two carts, bearing our luggage and the dismounted body of the car, had left Pekin under the command of Pietro, the ma-fu of our Legation.
Nothing remained to be done but await the hour of starting: a most dismal occupation. The hands of the clock seemed to take hours in marking five minutes’ advance. We began to exchange farewell greetings. Our officers stood around us, expressing their good feeling and wishes, and patting our car, as if to encourage it as one would do to a horse.
Suddenly a Capucin monk, with an open, pleasing, soldierly countenance, arrives in haste, all alive with enthusiasm, to give us his blessing. He is chaplain of the Legation and of the Italian garrison.
Come potrei convincerti che saprò amarti se non sapessi amare me stessa?
Come potrei renderti felice se non potessi rendere felice me stessa?
Da questo momento mi tolgo ogni armatura, ogni protezione.
Con questo non ti sto dicendo “viviamo insieme”. Ti sto dicendo “Viviamo”. Punto.
[F.B.]
a.a.a. voglia vi vivere cercasi..

After we moved home to Ngunnawal in 2015, I was pottering in the new garden, the next year, when a passing golfer hailed me, "Are you Bill Crowle?".
I could not place him for a moment, until he explained he used to work in Recreation Planning. He remembered some of these people, and we chatted about old times and the lack of any documented history.

You can get this one on a shirt or a silly little box.
I don’t know whether you saw it on the weekend, but BBC Two broadcast a brilliant drama inspired by a true story about some front line soldiers who published a satirical newspaper during the First World War — called The Wipers times.
Penned by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman of Private Eye fame, the 90-minute production brought to life the story behind the trench magazine produced by British soldiers from the 12th Battalion Sherwood Foresters (Nottingham & Derbyshre Regiment), 24th Division.
The whole production really echoed the satirical, black humour behind the magazine with a real undercurrent of bravery and pluck displayed by the men who endured the awful conditions of trench warfare.

In October 1993 I got turned on to the NCSA Beginner's Guide to HTML. I learned it (the note in the corner is where I scribbled down the address I was going to use to launch a web site on a Mac SE/30).
Wow I cannot believe the NCSA yanked down the archive version. Those 404 bastards! There are some Google-able remnants..
This was not really a guide, it was a reference manual, and inspired me to create something a bit more instructional- Writing HTML (which is still available, nyaa nyaa)
Despite being married to me for 14+ years, my wife insists that I can sing in the tenor range. That's so far out of my range that the sun sets three hours earlier where those notes reside.

Rincón de Colombia.
De visita en esta población ubicada en la amazonia colombiana me llama la atención un grupo de niños tímidos que jugaban y nos apuntaban con sus juguetes:( fusiles hechos de madera), ellos se escondían en sus casas o en enramadas para apuntarnos con los objetos. en un momento percibo que uno de los niños asciende a lo alto de un viejo tanque y cual francotirador empieza a apuntar. es curioso la carga tan grande que tenia esta imagen para mi, en ese instante fue fuerte y bello por su valor.
Analizo como en muchos lugares recónditos y olvidados de nuestra patria la única soberanía la imponen los grupos armados o personajes de turno que inculcan culturas y mañas de guerra en nuestra niñez, Colombia somos todos o por lo menos así debería ser, la imagen es clara.
