I just decided to go to wrok: transfer gradually all my favorite pics on F***r to Ipernity.

Being on the site for 5 days by now, I see that my network is developping fine. Lots of my contacts are already here, so it is not really starting over again, as I feared at the beginning.

Now, there's lots of work to be done for the next few months, until my Flickr Pro account will be closed.

I'll be off for about 2 1/2 weeks! So hope to see you again when I'm back!

Our trip to Toronto and the canadian Rockies has been a wonderful experience, and I brought back about 16 Gb of images, all waiting to be looked throuhg (well, to be eranest, there won't be more than about 50 really - REALLY good (if I'm lucky), but they all represent wonderful moments I loved in a wonderful country....

And what is event better, this night, suddenly, after 4 weeks without internet, it came suddenly back! A miracle......

Coming back from a trip is never relaxing: wasching, ironing, cleaning the appartment, WORKING (which is the worst), and indeed, I'm already tired again, esp. as there is not only the usual stuff - washing and ironing - but also caring for the man  ;-))

Anyway, there are so many things going on at the moment: the appartment is being renovated as well, but this does not only mean the tapestry, but holes in the wall for the new kitchen bar, new internet connections (therefore no internet for 4 weeks and no phone for more than 8..), new furniture in the kitchen, and lots of big boxes going out and nobody knows where to stock them. A major problem ...

Short: Everything is fine and business as usual!

Perhaps, I'll find some more time now to come along and have a look at your pictures!

Finally, and planning the next few days of picture treatment, and evaluating the big amount of beautiful pictures from Canada and Bordeaux (this week-end), I finally decided to sign up for 2 years....

... and this is a menace!

;-)

Today was the first day of the "Grande école" for my son. "Grande école" for small kids in French kindergardens mean that they are finally in Primary school, where they will learn reading and writing and lots of other skills.

I had the day off in order to organize the school year, which takes more than a day here, because all activities need to be planned at the beginning of the school year.

At 4h30, I took him at school, and got back an exhausted little boy.

The difference of school between what my son lives now and what I lived 40 years ago is quite amazing: during the first few days, I had just 2 hours of school, whereas he has had 5 hours of school for already 2 years....

... again!

I finally decided to take all my pictures from F...to Ipernity. Actually I had intended to do it gradually and select the only best ones, but in the end, lazyness took over and made me accelerate the process: All set to "Private" and here we go.

Goodness, there will be a lot to sort....

thanks RATP and SNCF who gave me this day at home, and the time to finish transfering my pix to  ipernity!

Sometaimes, strike days do have something positive!!!!

Anyway, I except the real horror tomorrow, when all the people who had taken their day off, hurry to the train station again....but there will still be no train......

I'm not very active these days, commenting on your pix, but I got a very "important" date to keep: presentation of my Canada photos to my mom and a friend next week, and, an even more important task: not neglect my "better half", and THIS is all a program!
