It has been a while since I drew something: the flu robbed me a lot of time and energy. Today, I am back to Bic - i. e., the classic quatre couleurs ballpen - and here is my new artwork: a portrait of Morrissey before the concert in Zurich, five months and four days ago. As usual, I made this portrait without preparatory sketch.

Sunday's Wisdom. Photo taken by me this morning, Somewhere in the North of Italy. Happiness is true when it is shared. Real Happiness is shared.

You came to Me again last night -- Birds of Paradise, vivid blue t-shirt - And here You are again, with your Smile And your wondrous, beautiful Eyes, Enlightening the Night and my Dreams With the Purest Joy that You always bring Even in the Darkest Depths of Sorrow When the Soul seemed too frail to fly high To YOU Vera da Pozzo Somewhere in the North of Italy 6th-7th July 2026 Poem above by me - as always, without Artificial Idiocy.

There was a time, long before I was born, when Italy had artists who really knew what really meant to be a protest singer and songwriter: among these people, the first and the greatest was Francesco Guccini (Modena, 14 June 1940 - Pavana, 6 August 2026). Francesco Guccini was indeed, artistically and not just physically, a giant; all his life and throughout his long career, he believed in the power of songs to make the people reflect upon social and political questions, take

Above a small "post no bill" sign, someone has left a very clear response: "Muri puliti, popolo spento" which means: "Clean walls, dull people" Small post and photo by me, as always.

The Fever still runs through my Skin But I grab the Ladder, climb and cling To the Safety Rail, looking at your Portrait, And soon a Rain of Tears speaks for Me: "Are You well where You are? How your Neighbours are? Are your Siblings with You And your Parents too?" "Do You feel happier now? Did You meet Him again? Did You realize, now, how much He loved You and cared for You?". And, about Me: "Do You know all the Evil Things they did To Me? But I stood alone and I stood firm

So far from Portugal And so stupidly ill When Summer hits And the Heat burns I cannot even rest Near the Ocean there is What I miss the most: Fresh air, Sea Breeze, Peace And a Fantastic Bird Sing and Shine tonight, my Friend! I wish I was there in blod and flesh But I'll be, somehow, beside You To YOU Vera da Pozzo Somewhere in the North of Italy 1st August 2026 Porto sicuro means "safe haven" in Italian, but Porto is also the name of the city where Morrissey will give the l

[Still ill - this awful flu is not over...] I was waiting for more pictures of the fantastic concert at BARTS Festival in Barcelona (SER took plenty of photos of Morrissey and his band) and I am glad to see that many photos have been posted today on Morrissey Central. Below: screenshot of the beginning of the post with the first photo. Link to the post above. Tonight, in Porto, the last concert of the European Summer tour will take place. How I dearly wish I was there! Vera d

Heat outside Fever inside I cannot sleep Into the deep Of the very same bed Where you laid dead Like a morgue, the train Gave me the stupid pain Of a nasty Summer Flu Which sticks me as Glue And now this makes me feel As I had a spoke on my wheel Vera da Pozzo Somewhere in the North of Italy 30th July 2026 Poem above and photo below by me.

Have a great time in Madrid with all the people who have the chance to be there tonight for your concert. Whether I feel depressed or happy, you are never far from my mind.

How predictably, the first train was perfectly on time, whilst the second (the connecting one) had thirty minutes of delay, which, added to the scheduled waiting time of thirty-tree minutes, meant more than one hour of waiting in a gloomy and doomed station in Milano. I just want to get back home - their home, and enjoy the rest of my holidays in a quiet place. Vera da Pozzo 28th July 2026 Travelling to Somewhere in the North of Italy Article and photo by me.

Genova / Genoa, this morning. Still waiting on the ferry's deck, and the people smoking ennoy me immensely. Now that "my" Summer tour is over (how I dearly wish to attend the last two concerts in Madrid and Porto!), I just want to get back to where I do not belong, but where most part of what is left of my family live. As I have to change my old-fashioned ID card for the electronic one, I could not travel abroad for few weeks. At least, Summer is not over. Vera da Pozzo Genov

The time was very short, but I loved you and I really enjoyed to be here, Barcelona: you remind me of my dear and beloved Palermo which I miss immensely. Attending Morrissey's concerts abroad and discovering beautiful Countries and cities: who could ask for anything more?
