Pulling faces at myself

Ogni tanto poso la stilografica e prendo il lapis. Caro vecchio lapis. E un’altra delle mie specialità è fare le facce da scemo allo specchio.
Cinque minuti a guardarmi e disegnarmi. Quando si dice “prendersi del tempo per sé stessi”.
I sometimes put my fountain pen down to take my pencil. Dear old pencil. And another one of my skills is pulling faces in front of a mirror.
Five minutes to look at me and drawing myself. That’s “taking time for yourself”.
