Trudy and Ted











Trudy and Ted came yesterday. We spent a great evening ! I had prepared a french diner, and Ted had the good idea to bring french red wine to go with the cheese ... :-)
Very very nice evening, thank you !!

The new house ...


























Well, here is the event that prevented me to update my blog for a month ... we moved ! :-)
It was time for a change and here we are now, in this lovely, fantastic house ... We are still in London but at the very limit, next to Essex, the country side !!
A week after we moved, my parents came to ... fix, clean, repair, build, and bring everything you need in a house ! Thank you !!!
We are now only missing our bed ...
The second bedroom is for you, our visitors ! :-)

Marseille
















So , on a Thursday, three or four weeks ago, Shipowners decides that I will be joining two of my colleagues to a business trip in Marseille on the following Monday and Tuesday... so at the last minute, I take my Friday off, and fly to Marseille to spend the week end with my brother ( named threafter Finfin ) and his wife !!! Awesome, I was thrilled ! The last time I had seen them was in Christmas ! Great week end ! We played tetris, lips and poker, and we met with Laurent, my former colleague ! Oh, another thing, we saw Laure Manodou, and thanks to my ninja skills, I was able to take a picture of her !
Great Week End !!! Thank you Finfin & Oksana !

Ioannis





Ioannis - pronounced yanisse - came for two long week ends at our flat. We had some good laughs, we have seen good movies, ... It was good to see him again ! Thanks Iaonnis ! We also went to see the latest Harry Potter in 3D (well actually, only the 12 first minutes of the movie were in 3D (... so basically you pay your cinema's ticket twice the normal price to have the surprise that the 3D lasts only 12 minutes !!! ), and I treat my guest with "pella", french dish from the Alps, with potatoes, butter, oignons, bacon and cheese ... a lot of cheese :-)
Hope to see you soon Ioannis !
