Pourtant, ce n'est pas le premier qui franchit le seuil de ma demeure. J'ai ai connu quelques uns avant lui, avec qui ça a duré plus ou moins longtemps...Questions d'affinités, d'endurance aussi. Mais lui... Il ne me contredit jamais. Toujours disponible, prêt à rendre service. Il ne fait pas la cuisine (ni la vaisselle d'ailleurs!) mais il avale sans rechigner tout ce que je lui présente, il n'est pas difficile pour un sou. En revanche,il est fait le ménage de bas en haut dans la maison sans dire un mot; Il ronfle un peu fort, c'es vrai, mais je crois que j'arriverai à le supporter. Il porte même les enfants sur son dos, ce qui les fait hurler de rire! Mon mari est au courant. Il trouve même que c'était une bonne idée de lui proposer de partager notre vie...Il faut dire qu'il a démoli un certain nombre de ses prédécesseurs, alors, cette fois...il fait un effort!! &lt;/span&gt;Je l'aime d'amour.

Sur une terrasse du Byward Market, dand un restaurant où les sauces sont conçues par un cuisinier aveugle (oui oui la déco des assiettes est pas mal quand même !).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une table à l'ombre, deux paires de lunettes de soleil, une bouteille de San Pellegrino... deux heures qui s'envolent dans les rires, les confidences et les anecdotes d'universitaires des quatre coins du monde. Ben deux coins en l'occurrence...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et là il est 18:30, il fait 22 degrés, le ciel est un peu menaçant mais comme la terrasse est couverte, je devrais pouvoir continuer à travailler si l'orage n'est pas trop fort. Une bière à ma droite... c'est reparti !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3909878934552053007-6979285142414958375?l=happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com/feeds/6979285142414958375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3909878934552053007&amp;postID=6979285142414958375&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3909878934552053007/posts/default/6979285142414958375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3909878934552053007/posts/default/6979285142414958375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com/2008/06/journe-de-travail-la-maison.html' title='Journée de travail à la maison'/><author><name>Mu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14839491693714104702</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909878934552053007.post-1766822507392040853</id><published>2008-06-05T17:11:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2008-06-08T14:52:48.440+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Eureka</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dapf16oeiHk/SEvkHcbLqEI/AAAAAAAAACY/Z-vrjZgGtwM/s1600-h/warrender.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dapf16oeiHk/SEvkHcbLqEI/AAAAAAAAACY/Z-vrjZgGtwM/s200/warrender.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209508210524530754" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First comes the buzz of the alarm clock.&lt;br /&gt;Then these eyes that won't open.&lt;br /&gt;Eventually - and slowly - the clothes are put on, the bags are made, the car starts and is on its way. &lt;br /&gt;Once the automatic doors passed, the bags get opened, the bodies get undressed, the goggles get put on.&lt;br /&gt;All of this in a haze, a festival of yawns.&lt;br /&gt;But that's when it happens.&lt;br /&gt;The happy moment.&lt;br /&gt;When the flesh gets in contact with the cool water.&lt;br /&gt;When Archimedes replays its magic.&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly, here i am, awake and swimming happily in the early morning.&lt;br /&gt;And that’s the best reason to get up every day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3909878934552053007-1766822507392040853?l=happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com/feeds/1766822507392040853/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3909878934552053007&amp;postID=1766822507392040853&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3909878934552053007/posts/default/1766822507392040853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3909878934552053007/posts/default/1766822507392040853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com/2008/06/eureka.html' title='Eureka'/><author><name>kiara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16668045146930884308</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://kiarablabla.free.fr/blog/images/vignettes_lab/lab02.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dapf16oeiHk/SEvkHcbLqEI/AAAAAAAAACY/Z-vrjZgGtwM/s72-c/warrender.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909878934552053007.post-6422993581117450577</id><published>2008-06-04T18:17:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T18:31:11.436+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Back for good.</title><content type='html'>For some months i've been out of control. &lt;br /&gt;Angry, annoyed, and beside myself.&lt;br /&gt;I knew that getting myself off anti-depressants would be hard work and would involve some adjustments, but i didn't think i would feel like an angry teenager all over again - not at the grand old age of 31 !&lt;br /&gt;Then more recently came the other feeling - the one that makes you want to plan your own car accident, because enough is enough.

I never work Saturdays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I open one eye on a Saturday. It's sunny. I text Griffin, a delightful friend with several degrees in art history. We meet at the bottom of my street and walk to the bus station. We grab a bus to Chester-le-Street, an underrated destination in the North East of England that has dozens of charity shops and a flee market on Saturdays. We methodically check them all, rejoicing in our quirky unexpected finds. Then we retire to a coffee place. Not Starbucks. This town is not part of the Starbucks gallaxy. In fact the place doesn't even sell coffee, just tea. We're so excited that we dig back our finds from our bags unto the table: a cravate, some mugs, some books, an evening gown, a tiara. We gossip like crazy about everyone we know and some we don't know. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we get back to Durham, there is always a standing invitation to meet up later in the day, for cake, or the following day, for dinner, or Monday, for an artsy movie. We never follow through, we get caught up in the other aspects of our lives. Until the next sunny Saturday, when I gleefully declare to my new flame that I'd like to go shopping with Griff again. If I'm being honest, the faint hint of disappointment in said flame's eyes just adds to the fun. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3909878934552053007-1782242015768615736?l=happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com/feeds/1782242015768615736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3909878934552053007&amp;postID=1782242015768615736&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3909878934552053007/posts/default/1782242015768615736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3909878934552053007/posts/default/1782242015768615736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happinessisadroopyface.blogspot.com/2008/06/chester-le-street-with-griffin.html' title='Chester-le-Street with Griffin'/><author><name>Dany</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909878934552053007.post-2456313721516928279</id><published>2008-06-02T23:12:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-06-02T23:21:56.027+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Ultimate Happiness</title><content type='html'>I walk home, using a slightly longer route, but oh so much nicer!
