Flat out

I don't have much to share... news nor energy 😦 It's been flat out at work and and I'm feeling flat with my visa situation. There's been lots to do at work and I had to deal with a situation that was rude and uncalled for. It has since been resolved but very disappointing. The … Continue reading Flat out →

Big week and long, longue, weekend :)

Last weekend, I went to a friend's house and watched Minari. It was an interesting and good movie though some sad parts. Great acting and intriguing story. Afterwards, we went to Les Halles de Machine for a walk but I did not stay long as I wanted to go home to make some lentil and … Continue reading Big week and long, longue, weekend 🙂 →

Wow! Quel sunshine :D

It's been bright and sunny week and it's made such a difference!

It’s the petit things in life…

Stumbled upon the awesome fish shop! They are back or rather, I have found out that they are @ marche cristal every Sunday 😀 They are sooo cheap: 16€ for a salmon cutlet!!! Most places sell it for at least 24€ so I was very excited. They aren't particularly a fancy shop nor big but … Continue reading It’s the petit things in life… →

With an extra 30 mins of light at the beginning of the day (ie: brightening up at ~8am now) and staying light longer at the end of the day (dusk settling in after 6pm) , it's really nice to feel like there is more sunshine and light in the day! 🙂 The beginning of my … Continue reading Days… plus longue 🙂 →

Immortal Flower Art Project

It all started when I got a gorgeous bouquet of flowers from my friend 🙂 I didn't have the heart to throw them away when they were beyond their best days as they still looked quite good... and Eureka! That's when I decided I'll let them dry out and then save them in keepsakes or … Continue reading Immortal Flower Art Project →

Days of Our Lives…

Nope, not the soap opera haha though I did watch that once upon a time! Just living day to day and enjoying life as much as possible with the current curfew of 6pm in France... I've got a good routine going now where I get ready for bed at 9pm and I'm sleeping by 10pm … Continue reading Days of Our Lives… →

2021… finally

While I can't speak for all people, I have a niggling feeling most people are ready to hit that "reset" button. Even if family life and couple life was ok in 2020, it seems like many people missed the freedoms they had, the options to go out, hugs with friends, sitting along in a coffee … Continue reading 2021… finally →

Joyeux Noël

It was a pretty normal week of work but on xmas day, I had the day off. It was really nice to rest and sleep in. Mind you, with a normal wake up time of about 5:30am, sleeping in til 8am was really lovely. I bundled up - It was 2C - and walked for … Continue reading Joyeux Noël →
