Sing sing sing

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best. ~Henry van Dyke

Ever thought that we spend too much time holding back, because we think we will look silly because we are not good enough, but good enough for what or for whom? Have to say that I am enjoying sloshing paint around, doodling on notepads and discovering what I can do.

And so now on my trips to the new bibliotheque I am searching through the books about artists and paintings, the only thing is I need more days in the week, I keep forgetting to do my French homework!

Painted by Mother Nature, she is quite good!

The French word for homework is devoirs.

The French word for except is sauf

Serious thoughts



People find it hard to be both comic and serious, though life manages it easily enough. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966

Life has been a little bit serious recently, and so I found it difficult to blog, sometimes the words just do not fall out of your head and if they do they may seem very gloomy.

"There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky, there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul" ~ Victor Hugo

A man with serious thoughts Victor Hugo.


I have been able to paint and take photographs, and doodle and sketch, some of it not very serious at all.

Little Belinda Bubbles, head full of random thoughts



Seriously folks I hope that normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Ordinary Moments

There are no ordinary moments ~ Dan Millman

Recently I have been doing ordinary things, like up to my eyes in paperwork, constantly chasing fluffy tumbleweed (dog hair) with a vacuum cleaner and just getting on with the mundane. However when I was walking around the village with the dog I realised that sometimes an ordinary moment can light up in front of your eyes.

I hope that you see something special today during your ordinary life.

Buried in paperwork is ~"crouler sous la paperasse"

For the mundane the French can use banal.
