Introducing a new weekly feature, one that will not require a lot of writing, to show you what I am doing with my new Flip Video, or older clips that were filmed with my normal camera.
And the winner of this week was taken at the market on a Sunday morning, five minutes away from my flat. Just appreciate the atmosphere 
For better viewing, let the clip load completely before watching.
If oysters make you feel squeamish, please look away!
This is one of the oysters I had when at Mont-Saint-Michel at the beginning of June. I stayed overnight and had a dinner of oysters with a waffle for my dessert. Not really your classic dinner, but just what I felt like having.
Just noticed that my blogiversary had taken place and gone and that I didn’t even notice!
Well, it’s been four years, four years since I started this blog, right at the time when I discovered that I had breast cancer.
I was still working then, and was expecting retirement on September 30th 2004. Given surgery and radiation therapy, I didn’t even notice that I had retired until it was all over.
It was quite a change in my life, one that I thoroughly enjoyed, once radiation therapy was over and done with.
Since then, I have started photography, and using several different cameras, become a flickr addict, opened and dropped other blogs, and of late taken up exercising for health, which is taking up a lot of my time.
These days I find it difficult to post regularly. I just try to stick to my Wednesday Window routine, since that is one that is not time consuming.
Sometimes I feel tempted to give up blogging, but you see, I have made quite a lot of friends while blogging, some I’ve actually met for real, and others that I only correspond with through our blogs or through email. So blogging has become part of my life, a part of my social life that I really appreciate.
I am taking a break with my French blog for the summer. Will I start again, come September? We’ll see. I think that two blogs, not counting ElderExercise, which is more like an exercise log, is too much work. And I don’t want blogging to become a chore for me. I want it to go on being fun.
So will Blogging in Paris still be around next year? Who knows?
I took this photo while visiting a friend in Normandy, not very far from Bénerville, where I go on holiday.
I like the green in it.
Just to keep you posted on the things I do and that keep me away from my blogs..
As I’ve mentioned before, my friend Fazou is a great quilter and has been part of a quilters’ association for some years now. I started taking photos at the meetings and last Thursday, I filmed a few clips with my darling Flip Video. stitched them together with iMovie and here’s the result.
Sonata No. 10 In C Major, K. 330 – III. Allegretto by W. A. Mozart, performed by Vadim Chaimovich
For better viewing, let the clip completely load first, and then watch it.
And no worry, flickr doesn’t allow more than 90 seconds’ videos, which I find perfect.
Not time to get bored
