chocolate

after 13 weeks no-chocolate-at-all
I had some
nice chocolate
it didn't taste the same anymore
was really looking forward to this moment
sigh
I remember a completely different taste
SAD

sun

finally some nice weather
this picture was taken at 18:30
:o)

RIT

raining again
I don't mind, I like rain
must admit: I don't tell people anymore

was planning on dyeing some mohair
bought some new boxes of Rit in Münster
great stuff, nice colours
not easy to find in Belgium
but Berelijn (NL) has a large collection
ps: the picture was made yesterday evening (sun)

monsieur D.

a few minutes ago on the radio:
Georges Moustaki has died
RIP monsieur Moustaki

takes me back a long long time
to be exact: 40 years
love french but not "la grammaire et les conjugaisons"
survived thanks to my "Bescherelle"

I love poetry
and so did monsieur D. 
"la ballade des pendues" de François Villon
still remember how it felt when I first saw it

because most of his pupils didn't like poetry
monsieur d. used french chansons
Moustaki, Brassens
he brought a recordplayer (old times, 40 years ago!)
and we all ended up singing "il est trop tard"
(will be in my head for a long time now)

should have said it then
but I will write it now:
merci mr D.
for letting me know about Villon & Moustaki & Brassens
