Anyway

Back to me

I go the coffee shoppe of history at pedrocchi
Been operata 34 ore a oggi every oggi for ever
Not even Benito or the Americans could close

The Italian historic di warfare readz bit like Australian history of explores
A celebratzionio of spectaculare
Catastrophicaa
Magnifico

Mio macchiato in zee grand salon de caffe
I never look so good as I do when in a grand salon
The wall length mirrors called for me to pout
I resist
and just a smile I give to them

Then
I go the
Palazzo del Monte pieta
I see Gli angeli di Guariento
Again the beauty is almost
Haunting
The no foto thing was a challenge


Thus the Croce statzione
Bellissimo maximotot

Time for drinks in the orto botanic
Then I have appointment at st Antonioni

I went the gnocchi shop between religious experiencio
Quite filling

St. Antonionio does blessings
And yes
I have been
At the instanzo the holy water shaker was shaken my way
The bells started ringing

I gave more
I think mio now own an orphanage in a shadow country

I have just collected mio telerlscopio and now I scarpa pronto le specola
No body best me this timeio


Me have victoriuosi la specola
There is an dungeon there
By the the time I had endured integration monologio in English about di instrument di celestials
I ready for the dungeons
It a most incredibilli bori thing in all italia
Then
A miricole
We get out....
I go straight to a drinks statzione
Is a paradisio

They play covers of
Fever
Downtown
Only you
River deep
And barry white
All in eytie


I am saved
There's is even a Map of the dolomite
On the wall
With Pieve di Cadore drawn on ( now )
they let me, don't worry

Only having two drinks here


Let's hope so

Amazio

Iere notte mio in the plaza playing la pianoforte

I have to borrow a suit but I was pretty good

I play some old scuola Classico

Here a schizzo by the seamstress ( si, she still around)

 

This before the dance party but it did put me the atmosperio for the cut the rug

Markio

Polish people can't dance

Yo
The bump and grind
Them lech Walensa folks might have straight blonde hair and much older uncles but they  just don't dig jive
They just shoulder dance

I an inferno
Pump up the jam mr musico

The house and the white boys are losing their bitches

Here comes more ink

Snoop dog is here
We are swapping the word
He no good at italianio
Just as well I got the power

Gotta slide
Dance floor mio casa

Padova venerdi nottre

In a padovian bar
Is hip
Marko is in the house
The beat goes
Down
The night calls
Groov'n like ali

I smoke

Sabattio stay away
This so much funio

Xxxxx
Save the last dance
Marco

Follow your nose

 



I thought I was going to a cowboy funeria
Until I got to a big building with strange symbols and a man In a full length heavy worsted overcoat asked me to get off my bici and show him my mans part
He said he needed to handle my credentialias
Well
Being a long way  from mio casa I thought to myself what's the bruto that can happen
Then I remember

The last time a bloke with beard and coat asked me that i was at a bus stop in Chadstone
And the polizia turned up
What is it about blokes in coats in estata anyway?

The blackamoors here have the vocce of angels
They strum lutes as the sit on the ponte and sing for poveri
(I wish I had never written that poem about giving my money to the poor
It has cost me all the gifts i planned)

The fish come to the surface during the refrain
I gave the singer a poem
He sang it
The women swooned
The men
They look at the arbori
and shift their feet

The lovers
They see the fishes
and they
whisper their
wishes

Can you hear me they say

Anyway
We shared the profits
The singer and I

I got drink money
He got tomorrow
His name is Fabian
He is the prince of the crossing of the bridge

He called me brother

I now have a tribal marking
I am sure that the cuts made by his seamstress with a sharp bone
will heal up nicely as soon as I can take the voodoo blessed chips of wood out of the delicate incisions
Blood is such a mesmerizing colour at sunset
Anyway

Then I go a genuine rustico enoteca for regional specialist mangiare
Some wogs can cook
Some wouldn't know a cacca from terra firma
But then again
I am in these shortsiosios

just loved the scrivegni
It is religious
Giotto a true genius that took the piss out of everyone
He is fabulous
The weeping women painting makes you
weep


Xxxxxxxxcc

Can you smell the fresco

What an oggi

I get mio bici ( a belludi 37 )
I the pantalone negozi
I buy a quiet  pair
I look ridiculously foreign now
Then because it caldi I have a spritz
Signorina say first one on mio
I trick her I only have one
Then I ask her she know the upside down monkey bar joke
She still laffing a lot
Anyway
Then by bici to arena romanya and Enrico's church
Is magnifico
But just my fortuna
They doing some intervezioni
A lady from the instituti central di restaurati see me do a quick sketch
See below

You nod gonna believe what happens then
17 fat blokes and two scaffoldi erectionio's are told to make mio sketch into a restorati
Right then presto
They make this

I am there all day with the mixing the plaster and the tempera
and reinventing the fucken wheel but hey
Why not say sono

Can you believe some more?
While me and me painter and decorator mates are working working and whistle whistle the americano god bothered girlie students that tour the chapel to see the giotto pictograms of  what happens  to you if you love money over charity purity and God
and, particulaly if you play kiss chasey before you marry
Anyway
The touristos try to take the foto of the insides the chapel
I say to them
You stupids
They stop and scurry out
My men clap me again

Now I go the botanic
I have flora to finger and getta historical roots

The bells ring with joy for mio a padova

Mio happy
So far I meet half of padova
They all love mio

Sent from an instant ago.

Ristorante del fagioli

I had the penne
Alla abiate

My place of prayer

Anyway back to my day
I arrange for the Ladies to get me biggletetti to academia and the office
I think they lie to me
They say the museo is all full up martedi
They say they do everything possible and will cast some spells this evening to see if they can call up  medeciism and get me entered
I hope it's nothing more than a little finger
I rode florrie to the highest mountain in Tuscany in 32 degree soft golden light
I stood with Michelangelo
I gave to the poor
My grand tour is making me an even better person
It was a handsome woman
And she wanted mangiare per le cane
I could not say no
Il cane had me at buongiorno

I saw a man fishing in the Arno with a rake from a boat that looked like a Leonardo invention

I call to him
I am a fisher
Tell me the secrets of the Arno

He say to me
I know some
And so do you
The Arno is the answer

Well ravings of a mad man
Time to scuzi




The simple things
I needed this after climaxing at the chiesa di san miniato al monte

The things one does for god

I go look for fagioli
In the pomadore sauce


Still tremendusio fabuloso


Ltr

Palazzo vecchia

Uffizzzi ( correct eyetallyon spell )
Had a longo queue
walk the old bridge
and meeted a Chicano lady who waNted to practice talking in tongues
With me later today
Me scarpa pronto me very very fright

I go hide in the palazzo vecchio
Is magnifico
I want to live here now


the pallazzi vecchio is fabuloso beyond the world
I am Medici
The crowd parts as I near
The campanile was empty save for mio and some nymphs
I have a million million pictures
I have returned to hotel to deliver the candles and charge upio

I then go to the African quarter to find the intergoogle shop and the hashish
and the genuine fake stuff
I also will try and freshen my underthings
At palazzo vecchio I got told off twice
Once for using a flash
And once for sitting in a throne

 me and an old broken statue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am in the integoogle bazaar

my new best friend charles de silva is going to help me get a visa into another country

He is quite good at cricket and has a brother in perth

He is very nice and sells me googleometer for only 1.5 euro an hour

but i have given him some blood for his mother

M

Molte bene

My hotel is a hang out for ladies- what is that euphemisimo,  lesbica
So far so good
nothing, none with a cazzo
is allowed to talk or speak on the telephonio in the uncommon room
It was quite tricky to get a female part for me to connectio the phono

I have two power points in my room

They both work intermittently and not together

So iPhone can be being charged but

I think the ladies actually drainio the power out of plugged devices 

to fuel up their weird lady pleasure tools

The place was humming all night

And the groups of nuns that are down the hall are all a bit ginger on their feet this morning

 

Anyway

Back to me

The day has begun

I have been reconnoitering

The Italians love a lane

and I am finally home

 

 

 

My bicycle and I go the see the marbles oggi
Uffizi prima
Duomo second
San Croce tre
San maritini monument a sunsets

Splendidi
I rings the bells
Ona my ciclissmo

a few momentos on the intergooglio

 

I say bybye to Julio

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I catch the traino

I am here

 

firenze

 

I have made way closer to god

I in the shadows di duomo

I aim for orchids

 

I have a bicycle

Want a ride

tremendisio

 

 

 

addio alla pieve

The interesting thing about Cadore
Is just how much everything is so right

The dolomiti are mio fratelli 
The streets all take me someone I wish to be
The fioreria is right where it should be
Both gentlemens were very delightful fioreista
They specialisto in lilliums and cactusio
Most unusual in Australia I say to them

They used to make spectacles here in Cadore
Now they have the worlds best museo of di eyeglasses
Even the first pair ever made in the world
Made from the glass of Venezia




 

Oggi we depart Cadore
Many many kissing

I say bye bye to my boyio oggi
He goes to the England to meet the crown ladies at the wimpletons

We shake the hands and catch the Pullman to far away
after saying
Ciao
Pieve di Canaider




Ciao


Marco

quattro da venezia

tour of pieve

What a day

Machiato in the piazza with our 11 year old tour guide, Manuel

Then to casa Canaider for pranzo

For Tina some lilliums and for Mario, a bottigea of something stronzo

We had pasta and pasta and pasta and italia food a plenty

We then went on the family drive of the district

What an adventure

Now after a tour of the Cadore

We are waiting for Ivana to collect to go to casa Canaider for the farewell dinner

I hope I can fit in the food

Firenze adomani..,,

M

benvenuti a Pieve di Cadore

They all came out to greet us at the statzione

we were humbled by this simple welcome

Is quite early here
The rain is still
Softly on the Cadore

All here is called something di Cadore
Valle di Cadore
Calalzo di Cadore
Pozzale di Cadore
Banco di Cadore

Bellissimo

Our Titian selves

Helena has only told me off  piccolo this oggi

Still not fluent in Italian is unacceptable


my venetian vernacular is incomprehensible to her,
must be her dialect

Apparently I am still young enough to learn

But must either be a lazy or a stupids
Her recommendation is I go the Liberia
and get a childrens book with pictures
so i can learn something
so I am not so embarrassing to my family....


She thinks Sue speaks fluent Italian

The room with a view

Getting out of the canal and away to pieve di cadore

The 13.46 to pieve

Buongiorno
 It is 13.24
We are leaving Venezia
A little change in plan

Our car hire turned out to be a little more in "security charges" than I was prepared for

So we are in the train

The added bonus is that we had time for a few drinks at the statzione
Before we leaving
We are so funny and irresistibale right now

Hope we stay awakio
Or elsio
we will be Innsbruck

We made it
Am safely in Pieve
The birds are singing

The train is much less hurtle than the car

Helena from the hotel says to say hello to my glamorous wife
She hardly remembered me

My cuts from the mussel shells are smarting a little but the bleeding has stopped

Fuck it was funny

The winged lion

We are planning a very early night as
It was quite a short stay in beddio last night

Is full moon

The lion king is a little tired
And has gone to Pieve di Cadore for a little lie down

my new research project

On lido
There are animali vagranti
There are signs
But there is more
We found little animal casa
By the roadside
They have official signs and notificatziones
These are refuges for the animali vagranti
They be gatto
They be under the powerfull ptoteczione of the dingo naturalist assoczionia di italia

I have a photo but it was in the bushes hiding..,,

I have become an ambassador for them
I will save them


I am asleep in my chair
Until ltr

What adventure



M

From a simple sketch

The barber
his cousin the rock climber
the seamstress
and the apprentices
did manage to make this quite tall

Erection  è stata compiuta 

magnifico

 

the great grando canal adventure

The grand canal has been swum across
It was at dawn
Only those that make the city ready were our witness

God will forgive us

Shower time

lido

On lido
is the biggest fraulein I have ever seen
Nude
I was terrified
Her lady part is big enough 

to park a  small thermos flask in

 

I am in the state of

mixed emoticia

I have discovered myself

Again


This is sublime
See you in the sunlight

All is

Fabulouso

M

Dorsoduro and Biennale

At my appearance in the round at the Guggio how to be cool forum
I presentoed  this sketch

They all went ooooihhhhhh!

The apprentices are making it with the wicker and the cane and the raffia now.




 The barber has a cousin who is a rock climber
We should be able to make this quite tall

We go for the erection adomani in the courtyard alongside the grand canal


We did the biennale at arsenal this morning
We also summittedio campanile
We are having lunch
And plan to Lido this arvo

Jules rang Vincenzo this morning
I said buongiorna
He sounds well but we spoke only un momento

dorsoduro
Il discoveriencio di millennia
On calle avogaria

Between rio di San margherita and rio avogaria
Is a shop of things
Shiny things
And a pair of green shoes

I think they are Cinderella shoes
I have been there twice
Chiusa

Mio ritorino
