13 Photos I\'ve Taken in the Last Year

Another week consumed by work and edits. Again, I've been pressed for time and didn't get to make a proper Thursday Thirteen - even though I'd planned it out in advance!

Yeah, I've got to work on my time-management skills. No doubt about that.

Anyway, this week, I'm doing another pictures-heavy installment:

13 Photos I've Taken in the Last Year

1) Taken on Mother's Day of 2009 - my sister-in-law Roberta and her baby, Mia.

---

2) Also on Mother's Day 2009 - my hubby. Squee! :)

---

3) Sophie "Doodlebug" Menozzi, a.k.a., "the Doodle" enjoys a freshly-unpacked suitcase after Alle and I return from the US.

---

4) Bologna Centrale Train Station, Bologna, Italy. One of the settings in my story, Ask Me if I'm Happy. These are the electronic schedules which replaced the old-style boards. I miss the clack-clack-clack of the changing schedule boards, now...

---

5) Italian singer Samuele Bersani - his music provided much of the inspiration for Ask Me..., and he himself provided some inspiration for the character of Davide.

---

6) My hubby in London, when we attended the launch of Diiarts publishing. This pic was taken just outside our hotel, along the Thames. It was raining and it was freezing cold and I loved every second of it!

---

7) The London Eye at night, November 2009.  I loved the blue lighting in the square, too.

---

8) Snowfall in Tennessee, December 2009.

---

9) Snuggly socks and flannel pyjamas - my favorites! December, 2009.

---

10) Snow in Reggio Emilia, Italy, February 2010.

---

11) My hubby and my brother-in-law, Andrew, chat after my father-in-law Paolo's birthday dinner, February 2010.

---

12) Andrew, Mia and Paolo, post birthday dinner, February 2010.

---

13) Samuele Bersani (again) in concert in Parma, Italy, April 2010.

There's always one more...
