la bella vita...

this time greetings from milano. we already passed through reggio emilia, how picturesque... the rain poured down, but still! the stage was so steep, we almost fell of it. oh well!
now im thinking perhaps i should move to italy? =)

i ate plenty of good food, just before this internet session (with some italian dude waiting around the corner for the computer to be free) i had yoghurt and green apple gelato. oy oy oy!

and for the rest, we had plenty of free time until now, but the last six days of this tour will be more hectic and active. the coming two days we perform in milano, and by now the tour starts to feel quite loooooooooooong, looking forward for my short mini vacation back 'home', before packing my bags again.

anyhow,
ciao for now!

sitting in a smoky internet cafe somewhere in budapest. they play all the forgotten semi hits from the 80. having troubles with this funny key board. the z is a y and the y is a z, and there is no zero to be found, only ö and ü and ó ...
anzhow, did a great deal of walking in this pretty place. the weather is lovely, the trees are so green and lush.
tomorrow we consider to rent bikes, and to keep exploring this place before leaving to italy.

what is saluhall in english? anyone knows?

good night!

tour updates

just arrived in budpest, after a few lovely days in zagreb, with meeting friends, enjoying, aswell as performing.
on the way from israel to here, my camera got stolen, hence no more picture illustrations for a while to come (can't seem to be very lucky with my gadgets, but i do remember it is all just material goods, material goods...)

now, i just found out that bones is sick, so im crying and worried, and will get out now to look for a phone.

hope you are all well,
kisses

working on it

being an aunt on a distance is not so easy. mainly im too far away and uninvolved. but, today once i finished packing, i started to make something for the coming addition
oy, so exiting, who will it be, and when???
i hope this little project will be more successful than h's blanket, which was definitely made from the heart, but, oh well...

preparing

fireworks

yuko with tomtebloss

also beautiful when they are dead.

today i am getting prepared for this coming tour, two and a half weeks... im starting to get a hang of packing, finally, i do it quicker, and without being as hesitant as before. and, i learned to bring little things that makes gypsie life more homie, such as incense, candles, tea, and my foldable cup *which became my trademark somehow*
anyhow...still im a little bit of a time optimist as usual. hence, blogging should be avoided.

wish you a great weekend,
kisses

not just tanned

ah, the shiatsu dude also told me my palms and feet are getting a slight orange tint.
from all the carrots i eat.
yes..
it might be true!

pirate treasures

i had such an intense shiatsu session tonight, mainly focusing on my stomach. oh, it is quite an intense experience to have my belly touched so deeply, i can truly recommend it. after having your liver point squeezed a few minutes and then released, it seems like your stomach is a balloon which won't stop to inflate. i even started to laugh in the middle of the session because of that,
and when my kidney points where squeezed (which was rather painful to begin with) and then released, i felt more as if something was about to explode.
and after the treatment, my lower back was less painful and my stomach spacious.

there's plenty of stuff hiding in there....

may oh may

i made a few pillow cases. (i will make a good house wife one day)

look at this huge praying mantis! he's guarding my plant from lice.

dead sea mud spa in ga'aton

yuko the dragon

fur balls...

goodmorning!
this will be our last week in the studio before the next tour. croatia, hungary and italy. im looking forward to meet some newly found friends in those places. and eat good food...

this morning i managed to walk into the wall, yes, i did. and now i have another ball on my upper lip, which hopefully won't turn into scar tissue as the other one. i tried to picture it, but the macro wouldn't let me.

thank you r for the small version of the eye picture!


ENJOY MAY!

another one...so lovely, those sunsets...

passed the test

a friend of mine told me today that the swedish musician plura (eldkvarn) said something along the lines that you haven't lived if you haven't pickled beet root. now, i can proudly say: i have lived!

fighting gravity?

'new' (2nd hand) favorite dress

saturday night movie at the french house

a few useful things i'd like to learn:

* how to grow my own vegetables

* how to make fire

* telepathic sms'ing

* the personal pronouns of hebrew

* how to sew myself a dress (well i could, but a neat one)

all those girls

on our way to tel aviv, forward and back

our fatima

me talking to mamma!

have a lovely weekend.

semi urban adventure

we entered an abandoned mill in the outskirts of haifa. i like my little balcony!

today: @ 8.22> 29 degrees in the shade. it will be another sweaty day in the studio. get ready for the summer!

a bit of pesach

*pesach was quite an experience. if you do the whole thing, it will take a few couples of hours from sitting at the table until you actually start eating. you read the haggada, drink an amount of blessed wine, eat all those symbolic stuff etc etc. i was quite amazed of how much i do remember from the religion classes i had as a 7 year old. all those curses the jews got for instance: the flies, the frogs, the blood, the storm, the first born son, the plague etc etc...*

and still, no beer nor bread to be had in the supermarkets, a few more days to go....

*the acoustic night, which has become our new tradition. with my guitar which no one really knows how to play nor to tune. still, it sounds pretty good! and its fun...*yuko the raisin* organic tomatoes (i love you!) with those eatable flowers*ruby and bones in jafo* lovely middle eastern style house*

a little bit of text

no pictures this time...
i will have a long weekend (but a busy such) cause of pesach. most likely i will be going urban. wish me luck!
yesterday was a lovely evening, after work i went to our little second hand shop which was finally open again (always manage to find plenty of more and less useful stuff there), then i went to an improvisation session, and danced, jumped and screamed like a wild child. i was soaked afterwards. (around 30 degrees the last few days) and very pleased....
*important to remind myself what i love about dancing when the routine gets too strong*
then, i made myself an amazingly tasty pasta, had a wine while packing, and collapsed in bed at eleven. *eleven>seven thirty is more restful than twelve>eight thirty, go figure*

i will even have enough positivity from yesterday to bring with me today to the studio.
wish you all a lovely weekend,
remember: no yeast, no beer etc. etc. :)

kiss

time passes

*beach and good time with yuko*angeldress*carmel market, after the friday rush*amit the driver*

enjoy april!

hell, i don't mind to share...

usually, i think my sweat smells like fresh baked bread (not bad, huh?!)
today, in a improvisation session, it smelled like celery!

(i ate some lately, is it possible that it perfumed my body odor?)

post tour

*i had plenty of dustbunnies when i arrived home, and i gave my house a well needed spring cleaning session*this weekend was mainly spent in the golan, with wild pigs, gazelles, and lovely, lush nature*

pippi for purim

Purim (Hebrew: פורים Pûrîm "lots") is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the JewishPersian Empire from Haman's plot to annihilate them, as recorded in the BiblicalBook of Esther (Megillat Esther). According to the story, Haman cast lots to determine the day upon which to exterminate the Jews. people of the ancient

Purim is celebrated annually according to the Hebrew calendar on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar, the day following the victory of the Jews over their enemies; as with all Jewish holidays, Purim begins at sundown on the previous secular day.

Purim is characterized by public recitation of the Book of Esther (keriat ha-megilla), giving mutual gifts of food and drink (mishloach manot), giving charity to the poor (mattanot la-evyonim), and a celebratory meal (se'udat Purim);^[1]

other customs include drinking wine, wearing of masks and costumes, and public celebration.
