I feel like I’m cheating a little bit with today’s post but it’s a photo I took 3 years ago that I really love. It’s of a dancer in a snow globe. It happened as part of the Noël aux Nefs in 2015. We all love snow globes right? Well this was a...
I think it’s quite easy to get caught up in the TV coverage that we’re constantly being bombarded with. Tear gas / Riot Police / Fighting / Violence … but what’s it all about apart from disruption? Here’s a nice video from France 24 I was...

Day 10 already the time does fly and I managed to not get around to posting day 8 and 9 of my 24 days of posts. For this post however my wife had a small hand in it, as the students in one of her classes made the subtitles of one of the films 🙂 Not to mention...
Protests once again. What does it mean? Apart from not being able to buy alcohol in the supermarkets ) it means there are going to be public transport issues in the city centre with the various lines cut. I suspect it’s probably going to put a dampner on...

What’s the best camera? the one you’ve got with you. My little girl had 2 flat tires the other day. This meant we ended up walking to the activity centre as I didn’t have the time to fix / pump and find out they were burst. It was cold with a nice...

He knows if you’ve been good or bad but he’s not allowed to spank your arse! You know I actually thought that this one was already law but it would seem it wasn’t. The other night Thursday -> Friday the National Assembly voted in a bill making it...
