halloween aux states avec des enfants


a real night of Halloween with kids 
and a friendly U.S neighborhood

we enjoyed every minute of it.

un fiore per te marco simoncelli


... marco simoncelli died and I'm sad ...
magic fleuriste from brussels.
deep yellow sun everywhere inside,
beautiful tiles, amazing flowers.
and on top of all this beauty there,
they write catleya with only one t 
like in "un amour de swann",
because they are so cool and perfect.

est-ce-que c'est grave ?


a compulsive habit I have
in brocantes or garage sales :

des pitayas en dessert


Twenty years ago I spent quite a while in Costa Rica,
where we used to eat a lot of these. Some of them
are spectacular - amazingly flashing pink. I bought two
for the kids today even if they cost a fortune.
They tasted wonderful.
