Last weekend before Christmas: packing and preparing gifts

On Friday I am going to leave towards Reggio Calabria with Mary and my mum. We are going also to give a ride to a friend of ours towards Naples, like a car sharing service :D

Here below a picture I took the last year in Reggio Calabria, during Christmas Holidays and is very close to the one (more professional) I still have for my Linkedin profile.

From the left: for Mary’s father a homemade grappa, made from Eros, a very good friend of mine. A big cup for breakfast (that can eventually can become a vase for flowers and incenses for Mary’s sisters.

This weekend I will try to prepare all the things for the trip as well, and for our stay there, making sure to have stuffs to work with and also the necessary to practice Yoga. I already see the car becoming fully loaded like….

Besides, I will check also the car, to make sure that it’s going to stay “healthy”, as from the 22nd to the 2nd of January it’s going to travel about 3000 kilometres.

Some more gifts I am going to bring to Mary’s parents is some good wine, as I am almost not drinking alcoholics anymore, I am sure that there they are going to appreciate them, as they are some really good bottles.

Ending, this weekend, as I started yesterday, will be part of the Ohsawa diet, that is a deep purification dietary regime, to be done to purify the body and make it readier for usual holidays abundant meals. Ohsawa lasts usually 10 days and it allows only: wheat, buckwheat, millet, rice, salt and water.

Here is a photo from some “millet-balls” that Mary prepared yesterday to make the diet more sustainable :D
