Last evening’s autumn sunset. The chill is just belatedly creeping into the air, but there were still people swimming. #sunset #glenelg #beachwalks #longweekendsarethebest

About to put first batch of #fiadone in the oven here in #Adelaide #australia. #abruzzo #pasqua #abruzzoinaustralia #ciboabruzzese #abruzzesità

I love this picture of our mother, Louise Pergolini, as a young woman. She was probably in her early 20s here. Today, the 10th of April, Louise would have been 93 years old, but she only lived to 81. I know we all miss her heaps. Personally, I often think of the things I forgot to ask her or tell her, the places we should have gone together. So many could haves and should haves. It helps to remember her wisdom, grace and style and how she lived her life so selflessly. I’m grateful for having had such a great role model in my life. #bestmotherever #pergolini #daughterofAbruzzo

For those who think spaghetti and meatballs is not really Italian… I give you…Chitarra con le Pallottine. OK, so these are not the huge meatballs you get in Italian-style restaurants outside of Italy, but the concept exists in #Abruzzo. The pasta is made by placing a sheet of flat pasta on an instrument called a #chitarra (guitar) and using a rolling pin to press the thin strips of pasta through the strings. It’s sometimes called ‘spaghetti (or maccheroni) alla chitarra’. The meatballs (pallottine) are tiny; no bigger than the top of one’s thumb. See my latest post about Abruzzo’s Teramo Province on the blog (link in header of @heartinabruzzo). #abruzzesità #volgoabruzzo #ciboabruzzese #takemeback

Today’s koala sightings: 4. Rocks and trees, too numerous to count. #foresttherapy #morialtaconservationpark

Everyone was soooo into Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino. #pizzica #womadelaide @womadelaide

Rosa Matto is hosting Angélique Kidjo who is making a traditional chicken dish from Benin, her country of birth in West Africa, using her mum’s special blend of spices. The conversation is funny and delightful. I feel a real camaraderie between these two women. #womadelaide #tastetheworld @angeliquekidjo @rosa.matto

I’m happy when autumn arrives and the colours soften a bit. Glenelg was absolutely pastel today. #yayforautumn

Robyn Archer is an artist, arts advocate, singer, writer, theatre director, producer, composer, festival director. She’s been called a national treasure, a cabaret icon. And she is just opened her exhibition 'Picaresque' with a show tonight in the Banquet Room of the Adelaide Festival Centre. The exhibition itself is a collection of cardboard 'marquettes' (scale models) of iconic buildings, vehicles and monuments from around the world. Until now, they have been flat-packed and unseen. Robyn has developed her own unique vocal style and she never fails to wow. Tonight is no exception. She took us on a world tour in song. What a joy. Robyn was accompanied on stage by the great George Butrumlis on accordion. The travel memorabilia leading into the room is incredible too. #adlFest @adelaidefestival
