00:00:09,170 --> 00:00:19,800
I hope you are feeling better today, my love, and I hope that this message will cheer you up.

2
00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:23,660
I've just got on the tram at Flinders Street Station.

3
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:30,380
On the train it is impossible to ride, too many people, here on the tram I usually find a seat.

4
00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:36,560
So, this week I'm going to the office Monday and Thursday instead of Wednesday and Friday,

5
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:43,460
and you will find this surprise message once you wake up in your part of the world.

6
00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:49,180
From your last email I didn't really get why you were stressed.

7
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:57,520
Don't know, but I liked the bulletin for sailors, you know my soft spot for technical language.

8
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:06,580
Speaking of bulletin, it is almost snowing, biting cold and annoying on and off rain.

9
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,580
I try not to let it get to me, and the results are great thanks to the massive doses of

10
00:01:12,580 --> 00:01:15,720
vitamin love that comes from your messages.

11
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,440
I keep a close eye on the supplier so he doesn't slack off and keep sending it.

12
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:29,140
I finally managed to sell the couch and tomorrow an old friend will come to get the dining table.

13
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:35,560
Family life goes on at an extraordinarily normal and happy pace.

14
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:44,340
I mean, all things considered. Sad friends, surprise friends, surprise mainly by the harmony

15
00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:49,120
despite everything, and families and friends in Italy, waiting.

16
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,140
I decided to count the days until my departure, after all.

17
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,400
I'm definitely counting, but without anxiety.

18
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:08,320
I also count the days that have already passed and it seems huge.

19
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,660
Did we really last three months apart?

20
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:21,940
Did we really start this adventure patiently, without knowing how long we would have to wait?

21
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:33,820
Was our love strong enough to blind us and make the wait and the not knowing irrelevant?

22
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,340
My God, how good are we, my love?

23
00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:41,720
How good are we?

24
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,120
I'm watching the freezing travellers, and enjoy the view from the window.

25
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:56,520
I'm surprised I haven't yet switched to the mode "goodbye landscape".

26
00:02:58,380 --> 00:03:07,040
I don't know why, but this time, leaving Australia, I don't feel that dramatic sense of goodbye and

27
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,540
"who knows when I will see that wall, that building, that shop, that street again".

28
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,640
Sometimes I think I'm more attached to places than people.

29
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:25,140
Maybe because places are less likely to misunderstand.

30
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:33,600
They don't make demands or expect anything, but always wait there for you.

31
00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:40,100
Well, unless they get demolished, and it happens a lot here in Melbourne.

32
00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:43,240
Anyway, my stop is next.

33
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,500
I've got to get off.

34
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:50,400
Now that you're back at work, I'll have to wait until this weekend to find a moment

35
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,780
to call you and hear your voice.

36
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,080
I'm sending this now.

37
00:03:56,460 --> 00:03:57,080
I love you.

38
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,820
Hold me tight.
