STORMY WEATHER
It's June! So the weather is supposed to be good. Well, on Saturday the Ozzy team went to the
nearby swimming pool to hope to sunbathe a little. Things were ok at first
and then a storm arrived. Completely out of the blue. It was pouring down
and there was lightning and thunder too. I bet lots of people in the streets
got soaked. I bet lots of animals were scared too. Anyway,
I’ll never get a tan at this rate. If things don’t change soon I might as well book a
ticket for somewhere like Hawaii or the Maldives. Wow! The weather is bound to be better there.
APPLE
The Guru had been thinking about buying a new computer for a while. Now all of a sudden he has
made up his mind. He's decided to buy an Apple Mac computer. "What's the point buying a brand
new computer if you already have a PC which works perfectly", I asked him.
The Guru said that he likes to move with the times. I’m not sure what he meant by that.
SONG OF THE WEEK
Our song of the week is called "Time in a Bottle". A beautiful song by a man called Jim Croce.
Unfortunately Jim died in a plane crash in 1973 when he was only 30 but his memory
lives on thanks to this special song. By the way, if you like beautiful relaxing
music, check out a group called Pochill on You Tube. Especially the songs "Porquè" and
"Violet's Theme". Great!
Proverb of the week
"To trust is good, not to trust is better."
"Fidarsi è bene, non fidarsi è meglio."
