Chien motard

Let me introduce you Austin, the biker dog!

A hot and wild weekend

On Friday night, we went to one of D.'s colleagues to celebrate his birthday, we were three couples and another single colleague. I do not drink. I mean, I like one cocktail once in a while but, I only got shit plastered one time in my life, last summer, in Malta. But Friday went differently, I do not know if that was the environment, the vibes, etc. One rum/orange led to another one after 5 of them, I was "happy"! Indeed, we all got quite drunk, except D. who had to be ready in case he would be called for an intervention for work and because he was working on Saturday morning also.

After the birthday dinner, we went to a night club they are used to go to. I am not a night club person but, as I said, the night livened things up. D. wanted to take his birthday pal on his moto but he was way to drunk so I took his place.

The day after was a hell of a bad day. OMG!! I can tell you that I now understand why I do not drink! I have been sick all day. Not like last year but not feeling good at all. I am now detoxified with alcohol for a while now! lol

Saturday night was a nice went evening. Ito the Stade de France - and in any stadium - for the first time to see the finale of the Top 14 (French competition) between Toulouse and Clermont-Ferrand. It has nothing to do with soccer, supporters are very nice to each other, even mixed together in the stadium. The atmosphere was very nice!















Sunday was such a nice sunny and hot day. We got a sunburn on the face (ouch, how to not look ridiculous when you got the sunglasses tan on your face and your nose all red!) and a light one on the arms and the décolleté. D. and I went to the Stunt Bike Show near Paris, I had been there last year, it was very nice and D. loved it! The moto is so practical when the motorway is full with traffic jam at the end of the day.



This week is going to be dedicated to boxes, packing again... and getting that sunburn into a nice suntan!

Has summer arrived?

Finally a nice sunny and hot weekend!!

Summer day was celebrated properly! (compared to the not very nice spring season).

D. was working and I did not find anyone available to come with me but I wanted to took advantage of this sunny day to have a casual walk in Paris and shoot for a couple of hours.

I have so many nice photos, I could not post them all on the blog so I put a link to have access to my Picasa Web album. Hope you like them!

How nice was it to be able to wear thongs (and not tongs ), a sleeveless top and sweat... lol

I decided to get off at the station and walk towards the TrocadéroTour Eiffel where was held the World Cup of beach volley, like two years ago. Then, my feet took me to the Invalides where I could also shoot more nice pictures when I finally went back to the underground of Paris to get back home and get ready to go out with a friend to see what was on for the Fête de la Musique.

Flowers and Bugs

Souvenir of a very beautiful afternoon yesterday in the Jardin des Plantes (Paris), in Shoot a Life!

Go and have a look, flowers and bugs make so pretty pictures!

Life Updates

*My blog is two month old

*D. and I are almost one month old (only!...)

*Sisi is feeling better, she is back to normal, I would say that she is back to being a crazy little rabbit doing silly things - grrrrr - but an ear infection can come back anytime so, we will be watching her carefully

*I have been given advice about my CV that I changed quite much, let's hope it will be productive

*The idea of moving from here where I have been living for the past 25 years is still scary but I will have the whole month to get used to it

*I have been against moving in with a boyfriend for a long time but surprisingly, I am eager to be moving with D.!

*The good thing about moving is that you HAVE to tidy and sort out all your personal stuff!

*This week is the first one D. and I are apart for so long, we will see how it goes

*The good thing about not being home much is that I do not have sweet stuff and biscuits to eat between meals

*We are 2 weeks and a half away from the surprise weekend when D. will take me somewhere

*Yesterday, I put heavier weights for the second time at the Body Pump course, I am proud of me (and my muscles lol)

*D. should have his moto back from the garage in less than 2 weeks, I cannot wait for it! I miss riding a moto (or at least being a passenger) so much!

*Last Sunday, we had a very nice afternoon at the Musée Rodin, it was the only sunny day within these successive rainy and stormy days (pictures posted on Shoot a Life!)

Shoot a Life!

I take advantage of my blog's first monthaversary to start a new one.

Don't worry, there will be very little to read, it will be mostly for the "pleasure of the eyes"

As a lot of people, I life to take pictures.

I like to go to Paris, hang around and shoot. Or every time I go out, you never know...

For me, vacation without bringing back home pictures and visual memories would not be right.

Few years ago, when numerical cameras did not exist, we would have the pleasure and the surprise to discover our photos, masterpieces or completely spoilted. Would they be well centered, would the light be adequate, would they be blurred or turn into a soft focus.

Now that we have access to numerical cameras, image retouching software, extern hard drive to stock thousands of pictures, we can shoot as much as me want and chose the photos we want to keep and create online or virtual albums, we can share with our relatives and friends, all over the world. Do you remember when, before, you would make about 30 photos when the photo film was correctly put and now, it is more about 100 or sometimes even more!

I miss the surprise to discover our photos, the time we had to wait for them to be printed on paper.

But modern technologies have brought the power to make perfect pictures and make it easier for non professionals to obtain nice pictures.

As it is still a blog and I want to keep the mystery of not knowing the person behind it, so far there will not be any faces or, at best, blurred faces.

Hope you like it!
