“Ma mi porterai mai a Londra?” I lost count of the times that I asked this question and I repeated again today. London is a must for Sabrina, her best time, though she always finds a way to emphasize that, yes, but it was the best time is what he lived and continues to live with me. "But when you take me to London, I'll also know Skunk Anansie?" Sabrina looked at me and now I'm not responding. Skin has also been, so to speak, one of his knowledge, but has since lost contact with that world, since he no longer feels his love London more than 10 years ago, lost all contacts, but jealously guards those memories and images of that period and how the eyes light up during all their life stories, the Leak, the craziness, dancing on tables, driven out of pubs, friends who smoke tea, bragging about having done the business of life, I become a little jealous.
meetings, more or less random, with the artists at that time were not or that no one had disappeared from the scene and are now back in the limelight. Records, concerts in the frontline and backstage, nights without seeing the day. London is his blood, flows in the veins, and nourishes life. "But when you take me to London?". Sweet, with a tired smile, looks at me and I said "You will see that we're going." Me has already repeated a thousand times too and every time I said that in addition to a lot of money, it takes too much time, because on a weekend, the only thing you can see is the airport.
"But I never bring .....", this time I just thought. When we met he told me, he told and told again, now makes it almost a bit more 'I lack. I do not know why the Mago is thinking about it, but it was so radiant in the face while I was there to listen to for hours. I envied her happiness and I always seem to not give her enough not to be his everything. Sabrina it must be noticed my melancholy, and while getting out of the car in front of the Fishery of Comacchio, the belt is loose and gives me a kiss. One of those near misses, one of those desserts that I giving new desire to be alive. We are once again in Comacchio.

A 'for an hour to go and come back with a basket full of fresh fish and above all for less than half that when you buy the same things in a supermarket in Bologna. A huge octopus less than 13 euro per kilo, fresh scallops, and cicciose beautiful 6-pound and the euro to 12 euro sole magnificent, always a pound, ending a 14-angler. An envelope full of pampering the palate. Sabrina moves fish as a true expert, both fish and prices. A good "azdora" (housewife, in the dialect of Bologna). A short trip to the fruit and vegetable van is there, just for us to give us fresh parsley. In Bologna you sell it, if you're lucky to € 26 per kilo, here we pay homage to it without buying anything. effort I put in the trunk to the thermal envelope of the fish and go for a walk in this small Venice where the pebbles are angry because even though the boots have the heel off, they hurt in the leather sole.
bridges, streets, Walk along the narrow channels and then a piada sitting at a bar. A scratch card to see if we have a little 'luck .... but yes, and go .... won € 10. A smile and the way back is lighter.
"But when you take me to London?" This time I ask .........
