La mamma ed io stiamo guardando delle vecchie foto che ci riportano indietro a <\/b>dei<\/b> bei ricordi.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Mum and I are looking at some old photos that bring back some nice memories<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fra le tante, ci sono un paio di foto di pap\u00e0 nel suo negozio di macchine da scrivere Olivetti a Bengasi.<\/b>
\nAmongst the many photos, there are a couple of dad in his Olivetti typewriter shop in Benghazi, Libya.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Pap\u00e0 nel suo negozio di macchine da scrivere Olivetti a Bengasi. 1958 circa.

Serena: “Guarda com’era giovane e magro pap\u00e0!”<\/b>
\nSerena: “Look how young and slim dad was!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mamma: “S\u00ec, questa foto \u00e8 stata fatta ai tempi in cui lo conobbi. E’ nel suo negozio in Piazza Lenghi. Qualche anno dopo si trasfer\u00ec nel nuovo negozio davanti ai giardinetti.”<\/b>
\nMum: “Yes, this photo was taken <\/span>around the time I met him. He’s in his shop in Piazza Lenghi. A few years later he moved into the new shop in front of the gardens.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Guarda com’era giovane e magro pap\u00e0!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Serena: “Quello nuovo me lo ricordo bene. Una mattina ci portasti a trovare pap\u00e0 per vederlo.”<\/b>
\nSerena: “I remember the new one well. One morning you took us to meet dad so that we could see it.”<\/p>\n

Mamma: “Pu\u00f2 essere, non mi ricordo bene<\/b>.<\/b>“<\/b>
\nMum: “Maybe, I don’t really remember.”<\/p>\n

Serena: “Io ero piccolina, avr\u00f2 avuto massimo quattro anni, ma me lo ricordo bene, eccome! Stavano finendo di decorarlo … avevano usato una vernice strana, non era liscia ma tipo granigliato, aveva come dei sassolini neri, bianchi e grigi. Non me la dimenticher\u00f2 mai, quella maledetta vernice!”<\/b>
\nSerena: “I was little, I must have been maximum four years old, but I remember it well, (how could I not!<\/i>) They were finishing decorating it … they’d used a strange paint, it wasn’t smooth but kind of grainy, it had some sort of little black, white and grey stones in it. I’ll never forget that damned paint!”<\/p>\n

Mamma: “Perch\u00e9<\/b>, cos’\u00e8 successo<\/b>?”<\/b>
\nMum: “Why, what happened?”<\/p>\n

Serena: “Non ti ricordi? Ero tutta felice di vedere pap\u00e0 al lavoro e gli corsi incontro a braccia aperte per abbracciarlo, ma fra me e lui c’era il secchio di vernice che gli imbianchini avevano lasciato l\u00ec. Era senza coperchio e io ci finii dentro con tutte e due le braccia!”<\/b>
\nSerena: “Don’t you remember? I was really happy to see dad at work and I ran to him with my arms open wide to hug him, but between me and him was a bucket of paint that the decorators had left there. The lid was off and I ended up with both my arms in it!”<\/p>\n

Mamma: “Questo s\u00ec che me lo ricordo! Avevi il cappottino nuovo che zia Maria e zia Pupina ti avevano mandato di regalo dall’Italia!”<\/b>
\nMum: “Yes, of course I remember! You were wearing the new coat that aunt Maria and aunt Pupina had sent to you from Italy as a present!”<\/p>\n

Serena: “Il cappottino era di un colore rosa antico, se non mi sbaglio, coi bottoni dorati. Come ci rimasi male!”<\/b>
\nSerena: “If I’m not mistaken, the coat was and old rose colour with golden buttons. I was so upset!”<\/p>\n

Mamma: “S\u00ec, era rosa antico. Lo mettesti una volta sola e dovemmo buttarlo via, non riuscimmo a pulirlo.”<\/b>
\nMum: “Yes, it was old rose. You only wore it once and we had to throw it away, we didn’t manage to clean it.”<\/p>\n

Serena: “Quanti pianti che feci!”<\/b>
\nSerena: “I cried so much!” ? ? ?<\/p>\n

Next time, we’ll analyse some of the grammar in this little tale, so if there’s anything in the above that you’re confused about let us know.<\/span><\/p>\n
