FLICKR ALBUM LINK

Tom showed up out of nowhere after what I think has been 3 years! Here’s a then-and-now comparison—a photo from the past alongside one from today.

My beauty sleep basically runs on one or two eggs, canned sardines, mackerel or tuna, mashed vegetables, hachis Parmentier, plain yogurt, and occasionally brandade de morue. That’s all my stomach needs to stay happy. Every time I overdo chocolate or other treats, my sleep pays the price.

My indoor chili plants have happily survived winter and summer! Even better, I finally got rid of the aphids—the most annoying early-summer pests. They never came back. I guess keeping the windows closed did the trick!

Thunderstorms and rain are in the forecast—hopefully our third heatwave is finally over!

A few tiny scratches on my nose made washing my face surprisingly annoying. Some places are definitely the worst spots to get injured!

I don’t like it when people try to hide every sign of aging. Jet-black hair, unnatural blonde, and heavy makeup on someone in their seventies often create an uncanny, doll-like look. Aging gracefully is far more attractive.

I’m trying to avoid this lady. Every chat is the exact same life story: divorce at 60, relationship drama, house, money, kids… It’s like listening to the same podcast on repeat. I know every episode so well I could probably write the script myself.

Saw a family at the park this morning: the kid glued to his game console, the parents sitting at the table, everyone staying still. A 10-minute walk around the park would probably have done them more good than getting the “perfect spot.”
