    The Knickers Connection

    BySilver Surfer 09/05/201223/02/2024

    You may well be asking where there is a connection between a pair of lady’s knickers or whatever you like to call them, and a set of scales. Well I have to say that when I first heard about this store many moons ago, I could hardly believe what the locals told me! Would you…

    My pictures are useful to me as observations of physical places and as visual inspiration for character studies.They are there as instruments to assist me when I need a little more time to find the right words.They give my memory a jolt when I want to recall minor details and fleeting moments.If you enjoy looking…

    Montello

    BySilver Surfer 13/01/201216/01/2024

    Here you can see the interior of one of the restaurants we have visited fairly regularly in the Montello hills, just at the foot of the Dolomites and only about 60 minutes drive from Venice. The food in all these restaurants (with a couple of minor exceptions) is always excellent and reasonably priced. This particular…

    Off the shelf

    BySilver Surfer 14/12/201116/01/2024

    Contrary to popular opinion, it is not true that every Venetian owns a boat, much as many of them would like to. Just use your imagination a bit and think how many two and three storey buildings you will probably have seen around Venice. Then calculate that every storey probably has at least one, but…

    Ignoring huffers & puffers

    BySilver Surfer 23/10/201116/01/2024

    Woke to a brilliant morning and just hope that it will be like this on the Venetian hinterland as well as today I am off to Vicenza with hubby, daughter and her boyfriend. The boys are going to be bored to tears, but no one twisted their arm to accompany us. They had just better…

    Cambio di stagione

    BySilver Surfer 22/10/201123/02/2024

    And this morning’s rant is all about these very small Italian homes which require that between seasons we have to do the so-called ‘cambio di stagione’… change of season. All the summer stuff gets put away in boxes or unreachable areas in/under/over the very tall wardrobes, to be substituted with the winter clothing or vice…

    Craft therapy

    BySilver Surfer 29/03/201116/01/2024

    Yesterday morning started off just fine with a business meeting here at my desk to discuss a web site for a well known local restaurant. Looks like it is going to be fun, and will probably also give me the opportunity to get out the camera for a few pics for the graphics. Lunch was…

    Nocturnal investigations

    BySilver Surfer 08/09/201012/02/2024

    Well my exhibition is called more or less that… The plan is to have a map of Venice and from there lots of pics pinned on and around it with tapes joining up various areas of the board … a bit like a police evidence board, a sort of ‘whodunnit’, or in this case, where…
