I felt busy yesterday, of this business that makes you feel good. Busy in the action of doing these little things that you had on your list for days, couldn’t achieve them by laziness, lack of time, lack of tools, or any other excuses that makes you having them, again, on your mental list… SoContinue reading “Saturday busy-ness”

Surrealism
It’s been 3 weeks that fog is part of the landscape. If it is sometimes a good excuse to stay cosy in the bed in the morning, the temperature is rather warm and I am enjoying walking around: I feel sometimes in a complete surrealist world, surrounded by the invisible and my own imagination. ThisContinue reading “Surrealism”
In the garden
Guess what I found in the garden? Guess who will be fighting to be the first to pick those? Guess who might be disappointed because the wild world knows better the garden than me for sure…. I might have to prepare the war against the deers and squirrels and place a net on them… shallContinue reading “In the garden”
Foggy Fourth
It was the 4th July few days ago. They say it is a big day in the US! I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but the current situation made this day rather normal for me – COVID19, remote working, no friends or family around with whom celebrate, no parade allowed this year,Continue reading “Foggy Fourth”
Tops
Even though I have a superb compost bin (see my homemade one in my post « Composting»), I try my best to use and eat all what is eatable, and throw a minimum, leaving only what I really can’t eat. And most of the time this makes me discover little delicatessen… Do you remember the superContinue reading “Tops”
It was Father’s day

I expected maybe to meet up with Maine’s Troll or other dwelling being… I got such a strange feeling sometimes when discussing with squirrel orContinue reading “It was Father’s day”
Unusual Monday
Monday. The beginning of the week. Usually serious, heavy from the weight of the work week to come. Rush from the list of things to do. Desperate for the wait of the next weekend, finishing reheated left over food…. But today was special. Today I saw a plane in the sky. Today almost all theContinue reading “Unusual Monday”
Day 93 – warmest so far
I am still at home, very slowly coming out… Last weekend, I had my first social experiences for a long time: a physically distanced hike with a friend and a walk with a large crowd in the peaceful march against racism. Otherwise, I didn’t meet much people since ages…. Maybe that’s the reason why IContinue reading “Day 93 – warmest so far”
Experiments (2)
When we arrived in Asia ten years ago, there was plenty of room to try new veggies, new fruits, new dishes, even new fishes and meat. From dragon fruit, jackfruits, and other yam to several special hot sauces or gravy, or even insects if I would like to, I enjoyed in discovering the different culinaryContinue reading “Experiments (2)”
Fireworks
I committed to run a half marathon on the 7th of June (See my post “Commitment” of March 15). Well, they canceled it, that was predictable, but I was determined to pursue my goal. So yes, I did it! Sunday, late morning, alone, with my super high tech backpack, staying conservative and ending turning aroundContinue reading “Fireworks”
