Week-end report
To start with I've got a great news... Ticoulou's back!! Helas since Sunday morning {when we left for a day on a boat with a few friends} no news of him. So today was the 3rd day without our lil kitty & I thought there was now not much hope left to see her come back. And must I say that I was grumpy & moody all day? Well yeah. Our house felt lonely without her. Our couch felt empty. But... while cleaning the house this afternoon, I heard a meow from outside. At first it was a faraway & shy one. Then it came closer. So I hurriedly threw my pink rubber gloves on the floor and ran to catch my Ticoulou in my arms! Well it must sound pretty much fleur bleue, but it went just that way! I still can't believe she's back when I see her sleeping so tight next to me!
So let me now come back to the week-end & its activities. There's been some conjugal quarrel to start with, & all that comes after that {the part I love!}... meaning a day out for us two, a visit at the salon de la maison, a lil resto, a cinoch {Lol with Sophie Marceau which was really fun!}, some potager together, & a dinner with some friends & some newly met ones...
The next day carried on with the same friends on a boat at l'ile au Benitier. What more can be said? I'll let you imagine the day, the indian summer'sun, the clear lagoon, the fun company of these new friends, the sandwiches & baked-in-the-morning-brownies...
Well enough for tonight. I shall be back with some nice recipes during the week. Sleep tight you too!

Au potager
M'assoir sur un banc
5 minutes avec toi
& regarder ces arbres respirer
en face de mon potager
de ces plants dont je prends soin
tot le matin & chaque apres-midi
regarder cette lune montante
ce fin & si delicat croissant
ce ciel qui m'abrite
& abriter le ciel dans mon coeur
encore une fois
comme toujours
I couldn't go further in the week without being grateful here for the week-end. One just as I like. Up early. Working in the potager in the fresh rays of wintry sun without noticing the hours go by. Sharing nice meals with B. With my inlaws for a Sunday'lunch.

Another week-end to remember
Picnic a la Prairie
I have to say, last week-end was pretty busy... pleins de trucs qui s'enchainent... but enjoyable things altogether.
Meeting new people, having a picnic made of aubergine, roquefort & pecan nuts'tartlets at the beach, enjoying the warm sea, the hamac, the sun, the rain to finish, just the peaceful moment...
Pesto on cheese focaccia
Nicely followed by a friendly cooking session, made of pesto served on focaccia, brochette de pruneaux & cerf, fresh homemade pasta & smoked marlin sauce, and of course a coulant au chocolat noir. All evening was filled with chatting & talking, sharing, laughing, bref just embracing this moment with an authentic contact...
Fresh homemade pasta
PS Please forgive me if I'm more rare here in the coming days... I might be a lil busy having my 2 friends from Suisse at home and enjoying some time together!

Happy B-day L!
Just a quicky to give a lil brief of the weeky! Two days at B's parents for his dad's B-day. Two days at the seaside. Of some sun, of some rain. Of good eating as well. Of good talks with nice people. Of lotsa love shared.
