Some people might think I’m ridicilous but this is just a quick shot of how I came through the memorial evening of Michael Jackson… together with my niece, the Kleenexbox was too small, and even at the end my son, Bart, was sobbing on the couch, realizing one of his big idols had left this world. Together we were singing “Man in the Mirror”, and very much into all the songs and beautiful words that have been said.

Stevie Wonder’s performence was, in my eyes, the most beautiful one ; “I never Dreamed you would leave in summer”, take a look here :

I won’t go into the argument about “who’s bad”… I loved Michael Jackson, his life, his carreer, his music, the lyrics he could write, about the human nature, the world… it all meant a lot to me, I am deeply touched by his death.

You have always been in my life, your music helped me, comforted me, brought me joy, tears and hapiness. My first record ever, bought with my own money, was “Ben”… and all your music lingers on, I will never go anywhere without you! Goodbye Michael, Thank you!

Two of my idols, Yann Arthus Bertrand, one of world’s biggest photographers, and Luc Besson, again, one of world’s biggest filmmakers and producers, are associated in this wonderful movie which will start all over the world on June 5th, the entry will be free in every theater, everybody should go and see it !

The planet is our home, let’s not become homeless by destroying it !

Things have been very busy lately, all our clients arrive for Easter or at the end of april, so houses to be opened, to be cleaned, pools clean and warm, gardens tidy, cars working, etc…

Three new clients in a few days, that was boosting us to go on because crisis is hanging over our heads like for everybody else. Lucky our clients still have to “maintain” their second homes so we won’t be out of business but paying gets a little “slower”, our invoices are somewhat kept on hold… but we can’t complain !

Today, as I am writing, rain comes down again, awfull, because we have many leaks in our roof at home, several rooms, living and kitchen are filled with buckets to catch the fload !

Our friend, gardener, went up the roof the other day to check on “real bad tiles”, well, he confirms that just 10% on the roof is ok, the rest is all broken, all just pieces of tiles left so no wonder it rains in the house when Mrs Nature pees all over !

We decided to get legal help for our house problems, our Landlord doesn’t want to hear or do something, so we will. We offered him to buy his house a few years ago, he declined our offer (which was much more than the exact value) so now he probably will have to make decisions once our lawyer will go after him.

Last weekend we had a great time, Easter ofcourse, but Philippe turned 40 ! We had a lovely Easterlunch, Foie Gras (Ph favorite, and homemade by Romain), a huge leg of Lamb, wonderful cheeses and a  chocolate cake with a Philadelphia icing on top (not rich at all….) made by Michaela and Dorine ! We managed to put 40 candles on it, it worked out perfect, he blew all of them in one time !!

Since a few weeks we are keeping a little doggy ( a friend who needed to go into hospital asked us to keep her sometime) and she, this lovely little Beagle puppy (10 months) decided to destroy half of our belongings… just to mention one ; the Charles Eames… she actually ate the leather on both sides…. the list would be too long of what she destroyed but she is such a lovely dog that we forget (not about that Eames tho’… our living room now is completely awfull !!!)

Philippe is training her, we don’t know when she will go back to her owner (if ever she will, because he might decide to leave her with us… like he did with Pablo, our Golden Retriever…)

I must admit she is fun, but it confirms I would never choose a little dog, I miss our Paquerette (Berner Sennen) very much, together with Pablo they are the two dogs I prefer and that I  grew up with, we’ve had so many of these breeds, now having this little dog in the house, it confirms that it makes me a little nervous. I keep on looking for her, she barks and runs around the house, I am not quite used to it, but I probably will have too (I’m just getting old hahaha).

I have many other things to say but need to do a little work, this was a quick update, I’ll try to get back soon ! xoxo

Bien coquins nos écrivains  
LETTRE DE GEORGE SAND À ALFRED DE MUSSET !
A lire du début à la fin pour comprendre l’humour de cette lettre!

Je suis très émue de vous dire que j’ai
bien compris l’autre soir que vous aviez
toujours une envie folle de me faire
danser. Je garde le souvenir de votre
baiser et je voudrais bien que ce soit
là une preuve que je puisse être aimé
par vous. Je suis prête à montrer mon
affection toute désintéressée et sans cal-
cul, et si vous voulez me voir aussi
vous dévoiler sans artifice mon âme
toute nue, venez me faire une visite.
Nous causerons en amis, franchement.
Je vous prouverai que je suis la femme
sincère, capable de vous offrir l’affection
la plus profonde comme la plus étroite
en amitié, en un mot la meilleure preuve
que vous puissiez rêver, puisque votre
âme est libre. Pensez que la solitude où j’ha-
bite est bien longue, bien dure et souvent
difficile. Ainsi, en y songeant j’ai l’âme
grosse. Accourez donc vite et venez me la
faire oublier par l’amour où je veux me
mettre.

MUSSET S’EMPRESSA DE REPONDRE :

Quand je mets vos pieds un éternel hommage,
Voulez-vous qu’un instant je change de visage ?
Vous avez capturé les sentiments d’un coeur
Que pour vous adorer forma le Créateur.
Je vous écris, amour, et ma plume en lire
Couche sur le papier ce que je n’ose dire.
Avec soin de mes vers lisez les premiers mots :
Vous saurez quel remède apporter mes maux.

*******************************************

Romantique n’est-ce pas ?
Maintenant relisez la lettre de Sand une ligne sur 2…
Et les premiers mots de chaque ligne de celle de Musset.
Tout ceci est authentique, comme quoi ils se marraient bien au XIXe siecle!

Tomorrow 6 nations rugbycompetition starts again, starts off with Ireland-France, and one of the things I always love to hear and sing out loud is “Irelands Call” :

Come the day and come the hour

Come the power and the glory

We have come to answer

Our Country’s call

From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Chorus

Ireland, Ireland,

Together standing tall

Shoulder to shoulder

We’ll answer Ireland’s call

2

From the mighty Glens of Antrim

From the rugged hills of Galway

From the walls of Limerick

And Dublin Bay

From the four proud provinces of Ireland

(Chorus)

3

Hearts of steel

And heads unbowing

Vowing never to be broken

We will fight, until

We can fight no more

For the four proud provinces of Ireland

Sung by the Irish rugbyteam it brings out a lot of emotions but here is another version with the Celtic Thunder :

One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very Sexy nightie. 
‘Tie me up,’ she purred, ‘and you can do anything you want.’  
So he tied her up and went golfing.

A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. 
She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, ‘Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!’ 
The husband said, ‘Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?’ 
‘Doesn’t matter,’ she said. ‘Just get out.’ 

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband.

A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver’s license. 
First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test. 
The optician showed him a card with the letters   
  
 ‘C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.’  
‘Can you read this?’ the optician asked. 
‘Read it?’ the Polish guy replied, ‘I know the guy.’

Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, ‘I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent.’  
‘Thank God,’ said an elderly nun at the back. ‘I’m so tired of chardonay.’

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. 
Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 
‘Careful,’ he said, ‘CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You’re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They’re going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you’re cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Ha ve you LOST your mind? Don’t forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the! salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!’ 
The wife stared at him. 
‘What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don’t know how to fry a couple of eggs?’ 
The husband calmly replied, ‘I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I’m driving.’
