Mr Patrizio

Wow it’s hot! Today the temperature rose up to 38 degrees and tomorrow is meant to be even warmer… Well I should not be complaining :) (picture: I spotted a butterfly on Saturday in our garden).

Yesterday our company, Finnesse team, organized/hosted an exclusive dinner for an Italian singer, Patrizio Buanne together with Universal Music and CIT Holidays. I wasn’t even supposed to attend the event, but when Satu asked me to join (one hour before departing from the office) I thought to give it a go. First, I had to rush home with a taxi, find something suitable to wear from the closet, get my hair and face done and be back in the office in less than an hour… Believed or not, but I managed. And who said my time management could be improved??

The dinner was held in Paddington, an Italian Gourmet restaurant called Lucio’s. The guest list consisted the editors from the top travel and lifestyle publications (such as Luxury Travel, Gourmet Traveller, New Idea, ABC Radio, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Sunday Telegraph etc…) and of course the star itself; Patrizio. The night seemed to be a total disaster as we arrived and realised that the audiovisual man was missing and the function was supposed to start in 40 minutes. The guests started to arrive and still no projector or sreen. The first 2 apetizers were served and Patrizio was getting ready to blow the roof with his beautiful voice, but luckily in that same moment the man came and set the audio. Eventually everything ended up going nice and smoothly and the night was a big success. Patrizio was happy, as well as the media, and the food (5 course meal) was sensational. Btw. Patrizio is heading to Finland some where in December so keep your eyes & ears open ;)


It's a bit strange to be here in the middle of Christmas hassle when it feels more over like summer. All the shops are decorated with sparkling Christmas decorations and people are getting all fussy with the presents. Last Saturday while sunbathing in our garden there was a plane in the sky and left a note (in the picture). 26 Days to go and I will finally see my family! JEEEEIIIIIIII! Kisses and hugs from down under.
