Hi! I´m Tyrrena ( aka Bikinglikean​ikon)
I´ve been around for 4 decades and a couple of years. Married, no children, but with a heap of  nephews and adorable nieces, plus one cat, as adorable (by now i must already remind u of the old guy who lived in a shoe, surrounded by kids- the one in the nursery story)
So far so good...let´s​ exchange data in interesting conversation​s.

First and foremost, enlighten me. Tell me about your country, your culture,  music, traditions,  tales, myths, legends, sports, beverages, meals, and what not.

Let´s exchange info and views about our countries and our languages.

I´d like to correspond especially,​ but not exclusively,​ with Italian men and women​ in Italian (preferably)​  or in Italian-Span​ish ( in this case with people at intermediate​ or higher level of Spanish).
I can help whoever asks me to give them a hand, but i´m not going to teach formally, tho  we can work on set phrases and interesing vocabulary


Be patient: if we correspond on a regular basis and i don´t answer a mail as soon as I get it,  it´s because i´m tied up, but i will, eventually. Then, when i´m not so busy,  i can make up by sending 2 or 3 messages a day :p

If you send me a marriage proposal, first make sure you want to marry a woman...
lol, its´a joke.. i´ve seen many profiles where the reader is warned about sending a marriage proposal and this has reminded me of the pm a Russian girl once sent me, suggesting we could marry and  raise a wonderful family together, bla, bla...  I´m still getting over the fit...

As to requests for euros or dollars, let me tell u you there are things that are priceless;
living in a developing (to put it mildly) country and so receiving no money requests is something money can´t buy,  for all the rest, there`s Mastercard.

Siete paziente perche ho tantissimi errori e non sono tanto fluent come in inglese.
Prego, correggetemi​.

​

Music, travelling ( really??), playing the photographer​, writing acrostics, reading about history and art in general,  cycling, hiking , keeping fit (with a view to old age): workout today, be bendy tomorrow (if you make it!)

​


Rod Stewart, Creedence, Abba (yes, Abba, so what?:p) Brian Addams, The Beatles, Lennon, McCartney, Keane, Shania Twain, Queen,  there´s something else but i forget, let’s see...some latin pop by Shakira, Ricky Martin,  Maná and some argentinian singers, 2 songs by E Ramazzotti. Biagio Antonacci! I like il Biagio so much, pity his work is not available in Argentina :(
Classical music. Tchaikovski,​ Mozart, Wagner, Chopin, Lizst, Vivaldi, Verdi. Anything that´s entertaining​, no boring, creepy, slow, obscure melodies.
Music from Paraguay.

War films from the 50´s, some action films,  The Sound of Music, Shrek, Ice Age,
Love Actually, La Tigre e la Neve, Tea with Mussolini, 9 Months, Music and Lyrics,
About a Boy, The Good Shepherd, Bridget Jones´s Diary, Bobby, The Others, Sixth Sense, Cinema Paradiso.

​
I´d  rather waste my time before the pc , however, I  do watch movies and documentarie​s on cable, some  argentinian tv programmes ( fewer and fewer) which make fun and criticize politicians,​ society, etc. No patience to watch tv shows, sitcoms, though i used to watch Friends and The Nanny. I ´m keen on  something i once found on Rai Internationa​l, i´m not sure whether i like it as a show or because it `s interesting listening material, or for both reasons: “Buttafuori”​, pity it´s no longer on, however i´ve  found episodes on Youtube.
