I am really giggling right now.  You can’t see me but I am.

Règles typographiques

Posted in regular by Sabine on July 28, 2009

This image is called ‘Règles typographiques’ – typographical rules.  It is by Bruno Levy and there’s more right here.

I think it is called ‘Règles typographiques’ because her eyebrows look like beautiful accents.

Hurray! Love tag!

Posted in regular by Sabine on July 28, 2009

Hollie tagged me to list 6 things that make me happy.  My list will be very predictable:

  1. Christian and Mira (my little family) I love them, we’re together all the time.
  2. My French-English family back in France (the UK being proudly represented by my brother-in-law David)  I love them too, I haven’t seen them in years and I really want to hug them.
  3. My friends, old and new.
  4. Being a vegetarian, leaning towards vegan right now.
  5. Order, cleanliness, the colour white, clean laundry, clean sheets and pyjamas (this is in one bundle because of a coherent theme).
  6. Speaking French, watching films in French, hearing French spoken, looking at photos of France, reading in French, dreaming in French – all these things make me vibrate on a particular frequency and give me an indescribable feeling of recognition and belonging.
  7. Can I get one more?  Thrifting!  I haven’t bought any new clothes (apart from underpants) in over a year.  I love it (except I still haven’t found a good pair of trousers in all this time).

I have to pass this on, to the 6 following persons:

*Jesska

*Caroline

*Siobhan (she takes the cake for her blog’s name too!)

*Deb

*Liz

*Pia

*One more, since I went over the list requirements already: Lizzie!

Oh, one more one more: making lists makes me happy.

I’ll stop now.

Phantom film

Posted in regular by Sabine on July 28, 2009

I know I watched this film but it was at 4 in the morning for some reason.  So it’s almost like a phantom memory, where I’m not entirely sure it happened or not.

In my sleep deprived daze, I remember really liking one of the last little episodes, where this American tourist narrates her trip in French with a really pronounced accent.  She comments on eating a sandwich and says ‘c’était très bon’.  If you want to make me laugh, saying that in French with a pronounced American accent is the way to go.

Christian does it sometimes.  He’s awesome.

Every other Tuesday

Posted in regular by Sabine on July 28, 2009

I get a home delivery of organic vegetables and I kind of look forward to it.  I like to open the box and see what I got, and start thinking about what to make.

Highlights from today include: broccoli (yay!)*, Brussel sprouts (yay!)*, courgettes (yay!), and wait a minute, what the hell is that???

That’s right: like the 15 year old little guy at the supermarket checkout, I have come across an unknown vegetable**.  Now who to turn to to shed some light on this?

*You’re not getting Punk’ed, I really do like them.

**True story: I had to announce the name of a few things in my basket to the poor bugger.
