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 🙂 →

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 →

Lockdown edition #2

Aside from the awesome weekend and daily walks in the country + woods, plus the weekend market shop, it's been fuckin SHIT. Like so freaking shitty. I miss my friends. I miss going out to shops and just looking and not buying. I like walking around without an aim in the world. I miss my … Continue reading Lockdown edition #2 →

Between that fun day discovering the yummy Goma sauce & a cool local jewelry artist and becoming housebound for 5 days with my cold, I got an extension on my visa! After hearing nothing from the direct email to contact some person / bot about my visa, I used the website to fill in a … Continue reading Visa Visa Mamma Mia :p →

Cinq Terre + Pisa & Reflections / Part 3

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay a few days w/ M in Monterosso. We took the train there from La Spezia (very cheap and on time and clean!). We went to the beach, chilled out, had some nice walks. Ate some great food too... one place was so friendly and … Continue reading Cinq Terre + Pisa & Reflections / Part 3 →

Last min trip to Italie!

I finished with my babysitting job and while it was sad that I wouldn't see the family on a more regular basis, I was happy to have more down time to myself. I was reflecting lately that I didn't go out much. Not necessarily for dancing or drinking but just walking around the city, riding … Continue reading Last min trip to Italie! →

Kinda, sort back to normale?

Learning a bit more French slang: d'acc = D'accord qg = quartier generale = local, like your local watering hole/ bar 🙂 TIP: traditionnel is apparently THE BEST type of baguette 😀 I treated my housemate for dinner as he saved my butt by makin me lunch back in mid-March. He had a fun suggestions … Continue reading Kinda, sort back to normale? →

Retour to city centre

Well well well deconfinement happened on May 11 and I moved back to my room in the flatshare in the city centre. I was sort of in awe when going through the city. Not much has changed but it was day to day. I do love walking amongst throngs of people, smelling delicious smells, hearing … Continue reading Retour to city centre →
