One of Australia’s special charms…

They might look impressive with their neon yellow crest, these birds are nevertheless very mischievous.

Here is an example of a cockatoo biting, for example, the tails of poor kangaroos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx78TqH0HIE&ab_channel=GeoBeatsAnimals

If you’ve never heard the sound of the beast, take a look on Youtube: https://youtu.be/s2BmSSDKrjA?si=p_sw_isMm94LZlaT

Happy listening! Or not.

Was it really worth it?

So many years spent working on my English, learning elegant and polite sentences…and all these efforts got shattered upon arrival in Singapore.

Can you believe this?

Happy summer holidays everyone, whether you are on a language study holiday or not!

I think it’s trying to send me a message. Like to stop being a glutton.

Happy egg hunting everyone!

The not so very reassuring things…

This is how to spend your Zen session freaking out in case the masseuse would break your neck…

Next time I’ll choose hammam if I want to relax. Less risky 😉

Have a nice week my darlings,

Do you have the same issue?
If you know THE recipe that pleases everyone, feel free to share it please! It would help a lot!

On a different note, I am super happy to inform you of the release of my new logo that you will now find on my drawings:

We created it with the amazing graphic designer Cindy Guibouin of Vision Design.

We worked hard for many days to get this beautiful result. I hope you will like it as much as we do!

If you need customed graphics for your logos / business cards / flyers or other, do not hesitate to contact her! She will be happy to accompany you throughout your project.

Enjoy your meal my friends! With or without any gluten 😉

Earmuffs maybe?

Enjoying the swimming pool – Yes!
Enjoying the swimming pool with 80dB of continuous jackhammers / planes / construction works etc. – No.
I feel the desire to live isolated in a bubble (I mean, phonically isolated) sometimes.
Or, to live in a vast field without any neighbours… Aaaaw, that’d be sooo good…

Bye Bye dear mask!

28 February 2022 at 17h38

From this Monday, February 28 onwards, wearing a mask indoors will no longer be compulsory in certain public places in France.
The mask will have protected us for 2 years from the virus, however, it will be a pleasure to remove it and feel the fresh wind caress our face.
That said, by dint of use during all these months, I confess that I ended up finding qualities other than the original one:

Does anyone have the answer??

Well, saying that: on February 28: no more masks in France by law! It will automatically solve the problem! 😉

Take care,

Sweet and Happy New Year!

It’s been a whiiiile since I posted for the last time (Hello crazy working hours…).

I’m getting back to drawing, slowly but surely, wishing you all the stuff 2021 couldn’t bring to us: care, gentleness and benevolence.


Take care,

But how do they do??!

When you’re in England and you’re walking through a frozen park, witnessing this kind of “normal” scene:

But how do they not freeze to death?

They are equipped with a super powerful internal central heating system or what? Because I can put as many layers as I want, I just stay frozen…

It’s killing me, just by looking at them, I am freezing even more. What is their secret??!
