Tanso/Copper or reddish metal

>

Isa sa mga dapat pasyalan dito sa Genève ay ang "flea market" sa Plaine de Plainpalais tuwing Miyerkules at Sabado. Samut-sari na gamit na nakalatag at sinusuri ng mga nagdadaan. Bago o mukhang bago-mga bagay na sa iba ay wala ng halaga pero nagkakaroon ng pangalawang buhay. Marami ring mga gamit ng sinauna- katulad na nga lamang ng mga nakalarawan. Ang isa kong paborito ay ang aso--bantay ng tindero at di ipinagbibili, at ito pala ay lighter.

Here in Genève, one should visit the flea market in Plaine de Plainpalais which is open every Wednesday and Saturday. Different objects are displayed and scrutinized by passersby. These might be new or second hand but would be given a new life. There are also many antiques, like the copper wares shown above. My favorite is the dog--the vendor's guard and not for sale and guess what! it's a lighter.

Hi Mayet! Pangarap kong makapunta sa mga flea market tulad ng binanggit mo dahil tiyak ko maraming makikita at mabibiling kakaiba at interesante.

Salamat sa pagbisita! Happy LP sa iyo!

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

Just like Winnie the Pooh

I want to be like him today. Smiling...even if Erin's sick and hasn't been sleeping well for two nights now. Or despite the fact that my computer is under repair. This post is actually done using my hubby's which he doesn't like coz there were times when his computer got virus because of me. My friends, I will visit you, that I promise so see you around.
