The amazing world of Selma Øye

After our "Fair Breakfast" of this morning:
- about 150€ earned (that means the takings of two days in 4 hours!!)
-18 new membership cards done (but 16 of them are renewals of old members!)
-1 question: what's wrong with us? Why can't we attract new costumers?
In spite of conferences, meetings, fair breakfasts, fair dinners, distributions of leaflets there's never a new face between us!!
Nobody is interested in fair trade...:'-(

Finally I have some free time to write something here!!
The survey in Guardistallo came to the end. This year we made all the time line walking that means walking through fields at regular distances from each other and staring at the ground trying to find pieces of pottery or coins or fragments of building materials.
We usually choose fields for line walking because ploughing brings up lots of above mentioned archaeological stuff. On the base of quantity and size of this archaeological stuff we understand if there is a buried settlement or a single buried building or...
Anyway the whole week I was there it always rained!!!
The second day of our survey me and my friend Lisa got bogged down in an area that was so wet to seem quicksand. To get out from there we had to take off our shoes and then recover them with sticks: Oh My! Ten minutes of panic!!
In spite of this kind of "pleasant entr'acte" we found a couple of interesting sites: an early imperial roman farm an an etruscan settlement!!
Any trace of my beloved Middle Ages:'-(.
I'm keeping on with hebrew, manifacture archaeology and excavation technique classes but I've left the one of industrial archaeology: it was soooo boring and I found it really useless for me!!!
-Well, ancient hebrew is useless too for me but it is a wonderful subject!!-
On tuestay I started my english class. I was a bit worried about the level
-I've just descovered that it's named "upper-intermediate" and not "high-intermediate" O_o-
but @ the course there are people who speak a worse english than mine!!LoL!!!:-P
My teacher is a man who comes from London and has been living in Italy for 20 years... Tomorrow I'll have the second lesson.
Maybe I've found also a guy english native speaker to practice my spoken language but I'll talk later about him here.
Last thing to say now:
For Tuscan friends: remember that in the morning of 22th and 23th of october all the fair trade shops of Tuscany organize the "Fair breakfast".
La Tienda will be in Pontedera, piazza della pretura from 9 o'clock!!
We're waiting for you!

A funny quiz for girls and boys who think to know girls!!
Kinds of girls

I'm an hybrid of Indie and Progressive girl!!!:-)

In these past weeks I used to listen to this song every day!

Title and Registration

The glove compartment isn't accurately named
And everybody knows it.
So i'm proposing a swift orderly change.
Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm
And all i find are souvenirs from better times
Before the gleam of your taillights fading east
To find yourself a better life.I was searching for some legal document
As the rain beat down on the hood
When i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget
And that's how this idea was drilled into my head
Cause it's too important
To stay the way it's been
There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all
And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at nightThere's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all
And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night (up all night)
When i'm lying awake at night.
