December

December was very sweet.
Loved the lights, the joy, the snow, the hot teas, the mistral, the white flowers, the laughter, the champagne and so many other things....

Federica

Federica arrived yesterday.
Petite fleur d'hiver, je pense fort à toi et à ta maman.

Wandering the streets of Marseille

Wandering the streets of Marseille with mum and eating the best pizza ever.

A & B

Chez Agnès et Bruno, c'est doux, chaleureux, tamisé, les étagères sont sur le point de s'écrouler sous le poids des livres, le frigo est tapissé d'affiches de film et sur le miroir enguirlandé il y a un portrait de David Lynch.
J'aime tous les recoins de leur maison, j'aime manger dans leurs assiettes vertes et boire dans leur petits verres ciselés. J'aime rire dès que Bruno ouvre la bouche et pleurer de rire quand Agnès s'en moque. J'aime tout leur univers et chaque moment passé en leur compagnie. J'aime la rouille d'Agnès et les croutons de Bruno.
J'aime ce temps qui passe, j'aime notre histoire, notre complicité, notre fidélité.

I spent a night yesterday with long time friends Agnès and Bruno. We drank, laughed and ate the most delicious fish soup. I wish we could still live nearby and meet every Friday night like we used to.

Love

My baby brother got married!

White

As a true marseillaise at heart, I am never equipped for snow.
I might fall... But Friday I will be in a train heading to the south of France!

Honest Scrap

Cabrizette had a fun surprise for me: thank you!
I have to tell you 10 things about me. I am not too familiar with the exercise but here they are:

I am tall (1,79 m) and I like to walk in heels
I am obsessive: when I love a song, I listen to it over and over again until I cannot stand it
I love cooking especially for my friends
I had my first camera when I was 29
I am a bit bossy (so they say...)
My husband has 3 nationalities: he is French, British and Israeli
I love bread and cheese and just can't stop eating any of these when there are some in front of me
I am sooooooo clumsy: all my friends make fun of me
My favorite cocktail is the sex on the beach
The sweetest moment of the day is when I read a story to my son before bedtime



Je suis grande, mais alors vraiment grande et je porte régulièrement des talons
Je suis mono-maniaque, surtout en musique
J'adore cuisiner pour des tablées d'amis
J'ai attendu 29 ans pour avoir mon premier appareil photo
Il paraîtrait que je suis directive (entre nous: une légende...)
Mon homme a la triple nationalité: française, israélienne, britannique
Je ne résiste pas au pain et au fromage
Tous mes amis se moquent de ma maladresse (tout pareil une légende, j'vous dis;))
J'ai une passion pour les sex on the beach (le cocktail!)
Je lis tous les soirs une histoire à mon fils: moment tendresse et délice de mes journées.

I would like to pass this award on to my sweet Marie , to the lovely Trine and to the mysterious Dalva.

Hannukah Princess

All the kids lighted the candles and had their presents.
Amalia is such a joy to be around: Hannukah Princess. It was a lovely night.

Tangy streets

I have the feeling that we are all tired at this time of the year. One of the reason is that I think we don't get enough light in Paris. So it feels good to see tangy colors.
Happy Wednesday evening!

Inside

Du vin, des amis, des cannellonis et des petites lumières toutes douces pour se réchauffer.

This is how we warm up our winter nights, what about you?

Colors of December

These were took in les Buttes Chaumont this morning.
When I left the park, I realized I was shivering.

Dark days

These turned out very dark, I still have to get used to my new camera, but I like them nonetheless. We don't have much light today in Paris anyway....
I took them this morning in the Parc de Belleville. Ida, if you have never been, this is one of the place you should visit. There is absolutely no tourist and a wonderful view on Paris.

La fée* et le lutin blond sont revenus s'installer dans notre nid. C'est joyeux et doux :)
