Sunday challenge

A little over two years ago with friends in the North of the country we drank more than we should have. So we went down to the village to walk a little, go to the café, maybe drink more... Passing by a group of trees I look towards the canopy and I see a kind of liana. I said I wanted it, that it was Gandalf's magic wand ... Z told me that he would get it. He picked up a stick and a string, made a cane out of it and tied a stone to the end. We went down to the village with everyone looking at the crazy us, Z even pretended to fish in a fountain... A few hours and drinks later we went back uphill and Z managed to send the rope with the stone to my desired wand, the rope twisted around it, he pulled... ...and the magic wand is now in my living room. We laughed a lot that day, okay we had too much to drink, but it was a great moment for me, especially since one of my two friends is no longer alive. +++++ Il y a un peu plus de deux ans avec des amis au Nord du pays nous avions bu plus que de raison. Nous sommes donc descendus au village pour marcher un peu, aller au café, peut-être boire encore un peu... En passant près d'un groupe d'arbres je regarde vers la canopée et je vois une sorte de liane, je dis que je la veux, que c'est le bâton magique de Gandalf ... Z me répond qu'il va y arriver. Il ramasse un bâton et une ficelle, en fait une canne et attache une pierre au bout. Nous descendons au village avec tout le monde qui se retourne, Z fait même semblant de pêcher dans une fontaine... Quelques heures et verres plus tard nous remontons et Z réussit à envoyer la corde avec la pierre vers mon bois, la corde s'entortille autour, il tire... et mon bâton magique est maintenant dans mon salon. Nous avons beaucoup ri ce jour là, d'accord nous avions trop bu, mais c'est resté pour moi un grand moment, d'autant plus que l'un de mes deux amis n'est plus.

IT WOULD HAVE NEVER COME TO MY MIND PHOTOGRAPHING THE INSIDE OF MY HOOVER BEFORE EMPTYING IT... NEITHER MY LITTER !!!! FINE IDEA INDEED, I HAD A LOT OF FUN

Well... my new experience this week was to use the new water boiler I have just bought, the old one was leaking so I had to replace it. In those sad times I decided to treat myself for this bright, shining and even musical one!

Some of you know Dante, my old friend (sheep vertebra in his previous life). Now to fragile to go around with me but still ok to be a model as long as he stays home ! For more of him... just click on his album : www.ipernity.com/doc/xata/album/1186924 I wanted to go out at night and play with a torch on a tree and starry sky in long exposure mode... but the wind was too strong that I did not want to risk camera on a long exposure with all dust blown. So fortunately I had already taken this one with Dante, just in case I could not do what I had planned for the challenge!
