thanks for the welcome you gave to me.....:hands13:
sincerily teal isn't a favourite color of mine... blue (clear o dark) is a "cold" colour and instead i love warm color as red, yellow etc

ps for micia: ok the sea in arenzano is not clear as the sardinian sea, but it isn't so polluted as you say!!!:lingua:

ps for harma no, i'm not vegetarian, but usually i eat a lot of vegetables and fruits... i prefer fish instead of beef or chicken...

Today,I put on clothes with autumn colors..yellow ,orange and brownI never spend a lot of money in clothes but I like to "combinare"(how you say that)the colors in a good way...

Micia,your english is very good,where you learn it,or are you English???

Micia,your english is very good,where you learn it (where did you learn it?),or are you English???
