Pont de la Cerise

Back in 2014, in the hinterland of Nice (French Riviera) where we spend a day near the Pont de la Cerise (Cherry Bridge). Picnic, swimming and reading were the activities of the day. By late afternoon, we stopped in a village before returning to Nice ... but, sorry, I can not remember the name of this village ...

One of my favorite french bands.
 I think the video is somewhat inspired by Ok Go band ...

Have a nice weekend!

Before / After
(but not finished ... unfortunately)

The first picture was taken in 2004 when we visited the house for the first time.
10 years later, the tub is still not "dressed" ... but I have high hopes that this will be done during the Christmas holidays ;)

Picture taken at the Frilands Open Air Museum
of Lyngby near Copenhaguen (sept. 2014).

Happy week!

corner view / attendance


Two weeks ago I was at the unplugged show of the Belgian band Girls in Hawaii.
A great time. Usually, this theater is for operas.

I must admit that it was difficult to translate and accurately identify the topic of this Corner View...so this is a free interpretation ;)

golden mood


I bought new candles which are very useful to illuminate this dark and wet day.
Winter came this week, it's getting colder.
So, a lot of tea, a wool sweater and all is well!

girls in hawaii

How last night was great!
The belgian band Girls in Hawaii was playing at the theater,
where usually there are the operas ... I love contrasts!
It was an unplugged concert of their old and new songs.
These guys are really talented.
After the show, I took the opportunity to ask them to sign my cd ... as a true fan ;)
Their style? Pop rock, with beautiful melodies often melancholic, sometimes euphoric.

Fast DIY




Two weeks ago, I bought a bag of pompoms only to use two yellow pompoms ... this was to make bee antennas for my daughter's disguise ...
So I decided to make a small garland of colorful pompoms with the rest that I can hang anywhere in the house. I like this kind of DIY: only 10 mn of "hard" work! Perfect for me :)

Have a nice week!

corner view / one song (or two)


Jónsi

Where no one goes

Very hard to pick one song ...
Ultimately, I chose Jonsi. I love what this Icelandic guy makes.
This is also the leader of the great band Sigur Rós.
So today I chose the video of the cartoon How to train your dragon that I love ... maybe even more because of the Jonsi music ...
Maybe some of you have seen the movie "We bought a zoo"? He made the music too.


And now the bonus of the day  ;)   Hoppippola from Sigur Ros, a little marvel  :)
(I had already posted it a long time ago ...)
