It’s going to be…… Continue reading from A to J – the TAC catch up game
now that we’re far away from February 14th I can finally write a post about French films without falling into the “hopelessly romantic” trap. I’m really not a fan of romantic comedies, in fact they either bore me to death or make me wish an ill fate to the protagonists, so you can tell Nicholas…… Continue reading exceptions

it has been a pretty weird day so far, so I thought it better to allow myself a few minutes to distract me with nice things, and most importantly nice people and friends. I’m so grateful for the amount of very good friendships I’ve built through my blog in the past few years, I never thank…… Continue reading FaceTime, scallops and Aristocats
[post written only half-brained under the high influence of Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk, forgive any typos and thought detours] – – – of course this year, like every one before that, I joined the WIPocalypse Measi so kindly sets up for us, I can’t believe it’s been four years already since she started it! 😱 the topic…… Continue reading the uptown funk WIP apocalypse
