What is better than a husband coming home with a surprise present, a new wrist watch?
NOTHING!
He's just the best :)

Work Work Work |
Their efficiency made us realise that maybe we should call in a few people to paint the kitchen, laundry room and bedroom too. It took me literally no time to take the wall paper off but we can't seem to find the time to actually paint it over. And having professionals doing it would also leave the walls a lot smoother than we'd ever manage I think. So now I'm leaning over the yellow pages, calling local artisans for a devis (price estimate).

Quiet |
Our friends have gone back home and the house is yet again quiet. Well, that is apart from my supressed screams when the crazy cat climbs up my leg trying to catch a dangling thread...

Love Bug |
She's 2 months old and likes stepping on my keyboard while I type, sending me messages like : "Are you sure you want to close this window?" or "Pressing F7 for a long time will enable a lot of strange things, would you like that?"
The only moment she stays completely still is when you caress her tummy, and in the evening when she's sleepy and wants to snuggle close to our necks. But most of all she prefers running after little balls of plastic or paper, or even chew a bit on the toes she can find... Yesterday she discovered CUUURTAINS, wow she had great time observing fostermum doing a brave attempt at pulling out all her sharp claws and tie the curtains out of reach!!

Bouillabaisse and Summer Guests |
I'll explain better how it's served: First you're served the soup itself without any fish in it. Then the waiters bring in a huge plate of seafood with different types of fish, shells, calamari and potatoes. Normally the waiter would filet the fish and place it gently into your bowl of soup and this service is repeated until it's all gone.

With this weeks guest we'll have a bit more of a sporty week with kayaking, walks and bicycle rides. Oh... and wine drinking! It's only right that they'll have a bit of a degustation of all the french wines right??!!

Home alone and scaring myself. The wind is making the whole house seem alive and I keep turning up the volume watching Doctor House.
I'm such a wimp sometimes!

New looks |
And before you ask, nope, the only one I can ask around here for a skilled hairdresser is looking for one herself! Maybe I should send her to one first, and if she looks good I'll go there too! Real friendship that is... :)

Ensemble C'est Tout |
I just finished a brick of a french book : Ensemble c'est tout by Anna Gavalda. Some of you might recognise it as the recent film by the same name. It was such a pleasure to read even though my dictionary was at hand most of the time. So in a marathon of 8 hours last Sunday, out on the terrace enjoying the quietness of our neighbourhood I laughed, cried and clung on to the last pages of the book. But hey, then I'm a hopelessly romantic person...Monday, July 02, 2007

My new NV10 |
Did I mention that my Canon ixus decided to not follow my orders anymore? To rebel by switching between video and photo mode whenever he wanted? Reparing would have costed me a lot more than buying a new one so I let him do what he wanted for a few months and then bought this sleek beauty in Singapore.

I love the old fashioned look it has! Since it has a touch'n scroll menu I'm still trying to get the hang of where to find all the functions and learn all the new ones. In the autumn I hope to sign up for a photography course around here.
