Qui dove il mare luccica e tira forte il vento su una vecchia terrazza davanti
al golfo di Surriento
un uomo abbraccia una ragazza dopo
che aveva pianto poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto...
Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
è una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint' e vene sai...
( Caruso - L. Dalla )
Verde que te quiero verde.
Bajo la luna gitana,
las cosas la están mirando
y ella no puede mirarlas.
Federico García Lorca
The We're Here group are visiting Feeling Happy today. During a year in which my life feels like that of a man able to see into the future and yet forced to steer the Titanic on its maiden voyage, finding suitable subject matter wasn't easy. Or so I thought until Daisy came round for lunch. I like preparing food and I love sharing it with my lovely daughter and so this is what makes me happy.
Salad greens from our garden, char-grilled sweet potato slices, grilled and marinaded tofu, strawberries and tomatoes, tortilla wraps and chips and a vegan nacho cheese dip made from cashews and roasted bell pepper. Yum.
Passau (Latin: Batavis or Batavia, also Passavium; Italian: Passavia; Czech: Pasov) is a town in Lower Bavaria, Eastern Bavaria, Germany, known also as the Dreiflüssestadt (City of Three Rivers), because the Danube River is joined there by the Inn River from the South, and the Ilz River coming out of the Bavarian Forest to the North.
Its population is 50,415, of whom about 10,000 are students at the local University of Passau. The university, founded in the late 1970s, is the extension of the (centuries old) Institute for Catholic Studies. It is renowned in Germany for its institutes of Economics, Law, Computer Sciences and Cultural Science.
Passau was an ancient Roman colony of ancient Noricum called Batavis, Latin for "for the Batavi". The Batavi were an ancient Germanic tribe mentioned often by classical authors, and they were regularly associated with the Suebian marauders, the Heruli.
During the second half of the 5th century, St. Severinus established a monastery here. In 739, an Irish monk called Boniface founded the diocese of Passau and this was the largest diocese of the Holy Roman Empire for many years.
In the Treaty of Passau (1552), Archduke Ferdinand I, representing Emperor Charles V, secured the agreement of the Protestant princes to submit the religious question to a diet. This led to the Peace of Augsburg in 1555.
During the Renaissance and early modern period, Passau was one of the most prolific centers of sword and bladed weapon manufacture in Germany (after Solingen). Passau smiths stamped their blades with the Passau wolf, usually a rather simplified rendering of the wolf on the city's coat-of-arms. Superstitious warriors believed that the Passau wolf conferred invulnerability on the blade's bearer, and thus Passau swords acquired a great premium. As a result, the whole practice of placing magical charms on swords to protect the wearers came to be known for a time as "Passau art." (See Eduard Wagner, Cut and Thrust Weapons, 1969). Other cities' smiths, including those of Solingen, recognized the marketing value of the Passau wolf and adopted it for themselves. By the 17th century, Solingen was producing more wolf-stamped blades than Passau was.
From 1892 till 1894 Adolf Hitler and his family lived in Passau. The city archives mention Hitler being in Passau on 4 different occasions in the 1920s for speeches.
During World War II the town housed three sub-camps of the infamous Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp: Passau I (Oberilzmühle), Passau II (Waldwerke Passau-Ilzstadt) and Passau III (Jandelsbrunn). It was the site of a post World War II American sector displaced persons camp.

I was always optimistic and hopeful that Obama would win the United States presidency. I was at a company celebration on the evening of the 4th and all I could think about was the election results.
I was celebrating this historic moment as it was happening. I was truly, profoundly moved when I learned that Obama had officially won (when I got home). I'm still riding on that feeling since last week, watching the Obama victory speech, Obama fan videos. It really has made me renew hope in humanity and even if I'm not American, I believe Obama can unite more than a nation.
To people expressing cynicism, saying that Obama can't change anything and that hope will only be crushed, I say that hope drives us forward and drives us to do unimaginable things. At the very least, hope is making me and a lot of people a bit happier for the time being.
Watch It's a New Day from will.i.am on youtube for some Obama-inspired music.

Award Winning Work: "No One Comes In, No One Goes Out...except the birds"
The artful life of photography and illustration continues to be a rewarding adventure. xo
Whooo Hooo. I got myself a new Hina Girl.
I bought this from Ruth - she of the giant fungi fame - she is another fellow collector of these gorgeous dolls.
The postie has only just dropped her off and I had her posed and photograph taken before one could say, "smile for the camera"!
She is a litte SWEETHEART!!!
For We're Here - FEELING HAPPY
This ornament was a gift from my dear friend Valerie, who had an alarming health scare two months ago that involved two weeks in intensive care, heavy antibiotics, and an induced coma. She has recovered beautifully, and is counting her blessings. She and her husband John have pronounced JOY as their theme this Christmas. We joined them for Christmas Eve dinner, and they joined us last night for Christmas dinner. I feel so happy that they are in my life, and that’s why I made this choice for today’s image.
Put some zing into your 365! Join We're Here!
