Wimbledon


I've been a bit lazy with my studies... So I'll talk about Wimbledon instead!

The grass seems super slippery this year and many top players have been knocked out, leaving some opening in both the women and men's draws.

Andreas Seppi still left on the men's side (to face Del Potro in the next round, quite a tough match there!), and three Italians are left in the women's draw!! So I will be cheering on Flavia Pennetta,
Karin Knapp and Roberta Vinci!

Viva l'Italia!

caffè sospeso

Just read a nice story about suspended coffee or "caffe sospeso" which originated in Naples. The basic concept is someone who is feeling generous pays for two coffees instead of one, then someone who is a little hard pressed can pop into the coffee shop, say "caffe sospeso?" and claim the free coffee.

Basic pay it forward, random acts of kindness type of thing- such a little thing can make someone's day great =)

Ciao!!
