Quick look in the newspaper
Adelmo Fornaciari Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI  , more commonly known by his stage name Zucchero Fornaciari or simply Zucchero , is an Italian singer-songwriter and musician.

His music is largely inspired by gospel, soul, blues and rock music, and alternates between Italian ballads and more rhythmic R&B-boogie-like pieces. He is credited as the "father of Italian blues", introducing blues to the big stage in Italy. He is one of the few European blues artists who still enjoy great international success.He is 65 years old 🎈

A little bit of singing on the way..
The sun is really bright↓
Now for coffee, yak and chocolate biscuits!
I thanked my friend for the coffee...
Now to get to work with some singing-a-long
I looked over the fields of fun...
I made some people laugh...
(Made my day that did!)
Nothing was mentioned about yesterday
(It will be in the near future, I'm sure about that!)
Back to Sexy Beast and the singing...
 
The sun was still shining except the wind was a bit too strong to sit out in!
Light lunch time↓
I finished writing yesterday's blog post.
Now to look in the freezer for something for tea tonight....
Found something.
