Stork News

Sarralbe Webcam

The storks came back a few weeks ago and have been busy rearranging the old nest. A few days ago the first egg was laid but the female stork broke it apart on purpose a few hours later and threw the shell bits away.

Yesterday another egg was hatched

Today there is a second egg

I can guarantee it it can get addictive to watch

Souvenir 1973

27eme Bataillon de Chasseurs Alpins

Annecy

My brother just found this photo. I remember the day as if it was yesterday. I had been on guard duty all night and had changed into the parade uniform a few minutes earlier in order to lead the changing of the guards I was in charge of.

After that I had a free couple of days and my parents had just arrived to pick me up. My father took the photo. After that we went to Megève for 48 hours.

I’m losing my temper

In French there is a well know expression to cover this “La moutarde me monte au nez” which literally translated means “The mustard is going up my nose”.

This might happen to me very shortly. Earlier today I received a delivery from Maille‘s online shop.

And namely 5 little pots of delicious mustards

Whisky and smoked pepper mustard

Chablis mustard and black truffle chips

Mustard with Alba white truffle chips

Original white wine mustard

Old-fashioned mustard with Chardonnay

Notebooks and bits

After years of experimenting with all technological sophisticated productivity apps and solutions, I shall carry on in parallel with my paper bullet journal(s). There is just something seriously pleasing writing things down. 

I am saying this because I am coming to the last pages of my current notebook and am currently preparing the next one.  I need to decide among other things which new ICONs I might use  if at all.  But most important of all, what will be the content.
