Suddenly, summer came on that day. The day before was chilly, and I had all my winter clothes on. It was so nice to see the city against blue sky. Everything looked much much better.Midorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635048215440828421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113567815455445615.post-64850853108237574212012-07-13T02:04:55.382+01:002012-07-13T02:04:55.382+01:00You actually had a nice blue sky in Lille ?

It is a less touristic place than South France, but people are sooo much nicer. Easy to make friends while having a drink in a "Cafe".glaudiushttp://www.etsy.com/GestOfCreationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113567815455445615.post-82292824610477311672012-07-03T18:05:37.675+01:002012-07-03T18:05:37.675+01:00Eurostar, which runs at very high speed and goes u...Eurostar, which runs at very high speed and goes under the English channel, has changed our lives at this corner of England. It used to be a ferry trip! I think we will have direct trains to Germany in future, too. It is, for us, much more convenient and quicker than flying.<br /><br />We have had a flock of 22 owl finches(a.k.a. Bicheno finches). Most babies were hatched here. I had to hand-feed some of them after parents abandoned them. We now only have the last one, Mochaccino with us. He was abandoned just a couple of days before the hatching day. So, I kept the egg warm for a day or so, and prised it open with a pair of tiny pincers! They used to fly free in a room, and females used to lay eggs in swag at window decoration! You can see a couple of them on us here:- <br />http://dogoo-midori.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/day-after.html<br />and here<br />http://dogoo-midori.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/nightmare-and-bargains.htmlMidorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635048215440828421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113567815455445615.post-50679543817047955972012-07-03T16:52:05.060+01:002012-07-03T16:52:05.060+01:00Hi Midori!

It is amazing to me how little time it takes for you to travel to France. It is a half a world away for me :(<br />If I am ever in Paris, I will be sure and lunch at Coq Hardi! <br />I am glad your trip was a success, in spite of the passport issue. <br />Cheers!<br />-Elizabeth<br />PS Did you really have a flock of finches? :)Elizabeth Rose Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725663688810441280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113567815455445615.post-23634120467522776472012-07-01T07:46:57.493+01:002012-07-01T07:46:57.493+01:00石やレンガだと火事の被害が少ないからでしょうね?ここも世界大戦中、爆撃を受けて、所々、新しい建物があ...石やレンガだと火事の被害が少ないからでしょうね?ここも世界大戦中、爆撃を受けて、所々、新しい建物がありました。写真にはありませんが大聖堂もコンクリート製でした。<br /><br />かわいいでしょ?このマカロン。マカロンをカップケーキ風に仕立ててありました。エスプレッソにばっちりでした。<br /><br />社会人になって2度目の大学院です。最初のは社会人類学、今度は美術。笑 私も学生の時は、響さんと同じでしたよ。今はわくわくしています。笑 大きめの作品を作りたいので、大きな窯が必要ですし。我家の窯はミニですからねぇ。仕事と掛け持ちですが、通学もバスで5分。後悔がない様に思いっきり楽しんできます。Midorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635048215440828421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113567815455445615.post-33249454119340453302012-07-01T01:27:11.359+01:002012-07-01T01:27:11.359+01:00こんなに大きな歴史的建造物が
