Valentine's day

Hello,  all of you who are in love!

Bonjour à tous les amoureux!

I'm sure you understand I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day... On the plus side, I don't have to worry on finding the perfect gift.

Comme vous vous en doutez, je ne fais rien de spécial pour la Saint-Valentin. Le côté sympa, c'est que je n'ai pas à chercher de cadeau parfait!

But there are a few things I wanted to share with you. First, I wanted to introduce you to Cupid... It's a very small part of Don Quixote and here it's danced by the loveliest dancer, Evgenia Obrazstsova (not sure of the spelling since it's a transcription from Russian). She's my favourite dancer right now. She embodies love perfectly here: she's light, funny and has a way to look at the audience like she makes fun of them!

Cependant, je voulais partager avec vous cette vidéo: la variation de Cupidon, extraite de Don Quichotte. Evgenia Obratsova me semble parfaite. Elle est légère, espiègle et a gentiment l'air de se moquer de nous: une parfaite incarnation de l'amour. Et en plus, elle ne porte pas le tutu plateau qui, selon moi, ruine souvent cette variation.

Now as I was told that:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet

And so are you

Here's a bouquet for you:

Je vous offre ce bouquet de violettes, rencontré lors d'une promenade ce weekend.

These violets are not in my garden, unfortunately... But I just walked past them while hiking with friends and couldn't help but take a picture (I'm beginning to think bloggsihly - and yes it's a word!)

Last Valentine treat for you :

It's a French cheese if you're wondering. It's not made for Valentine's day: this cheese is heart-shaped all over the year. But I always buy one around Valentine's day.

Et le seul petit cadeau de Saint-Valentin que je m'offre chaque année!

PS: I remember I promised some before/after pictures of my former living-room... But I'm a bit running after time this weekend, so this will probably have to wait till next weekend. Can you be that patient?
