I got angry this week-end...

Sunday morning, alarm clock rings at 8am. I'm all on time. But the train is slower than usual and I have to wait 20 mins under the sun without the chance of seeing ANY bus at Acilia. But where are they? at the beach? 10:00 the Sunday service is starting and I'm still blocked there, 10:15, finally I get on the first bus passing by, knowing that I'll have to walk 15 more minutes to get into Dragona. I'm quite upset...

I got creative this week-end...

Sorry guys (to the italians), but I became so bored of italian food that I had to get some inspiration from marmiton.org. Tomato lassi is so easy and so good!!!!!! (peel tomatoes, mix them with yogurt, add basilic and put everything in the fridge) Then I went for a cake, such a long time I haven't dared... :) burnt chocolate & almonds along with homemade lemonade (camomilla-lime teabags + 1 lemon juice + sugar) just feels like being home.

I became efficient this week-end...

One application, bank stuff, OM presentation, ironing with 28°c: I finally did it! Even though I still have a few bullet points on my post-it. I also felt inspiring others, for once, let's see the result in a few weeks...

You don't need to wait for the telegram...

Ce matin-là, le monde commençait pour nous à s’émouvoir. L’opérateur de T. S. F. nous remit enfin un télégramme : deux pylônes, plantés dans le sable, nous reliaient une fois par semaine à ce monde: Courrier France-Amérique parti de Toulouse 5 h 45 stop. Passé Alicante 11 h 10. (...) En dix minutes, la nouvelle nous parvenait par Barcelone, par Casablanca, par Agadir, puis se propageait vers Dakar. Sur cinq mille kilomètres de ligne, les aéroports étaient alertés. (...) Un moteur grondait quelque part. De Toulouse jusqu’au Sénégal on cherchait à l’entendre.

Inspiration (2): Impalas

An impala is a medium-sized African antelope. The name impala comes from the Zulu language meaning "gazelle".

Impala range between 73 and 92 cm (29 and 36 in) tall. Average mass for a male impala is 46 to 76 kg (100 to 170 lb), while females weigh about 35 to 50 kg (77 to 110 lb). They are normally reddish-brown in color (hence the Afrikaans name of "Rooibok"), have lighter flanks and white underbellies with a characteristic "M" marking on the rear. Impalas are an ecotone species living in light woodland with little undergrowth and grassland of low to medium height. They have an irregular distribution due to dependence on free water, soils with good drainage with firm footing and moderate or less slope. While they are usually close to water in the dry season, they can go weeks without drinking when they have access to green vegetation.

Impalas are adaptable foragers. They usually switch between grazing and browsing depending on the season. During wet seasons when grasses are green and growing they graze. During dry seasons it browses foliage, shoots, forbs and seeds. It can also adapt to different habitats by being a grazer in one habitat a browser in another. Leopards, cheetahs, lions and wild dogs prey on impala.
