Orléans
Orléans definitely defied my imagination. Where is the famous mediaeval city which was rescued from a siege by Joan of Arc – Jeanne d’Arc? I was expecting the city to be filled with half-timbered houses, cobbled narrow streets and stone walls (a little like Stratford upon Avon?). But I was confronted with this… It’s more like a boulevard! One thing I was concerned the most while planning the…

Bourges 2
After visiting Jacques Cœurs Palace, we headed to Bourges Cathedral. The old city centre was devoid of any human except a few groups of tourists like us… Where is everybody?! We decided to have late lunch and found a table at one of the restaurants along a main thoroughfare near the cathedral. Mmm…I’m hungry Someone was speaking through a loud-speaker in the distance and it sounded like…

My nose says no
So, no further restriction will be ordered by the Boris’s cabinet regarding the ever increasing Omicron cases in England? And some may rejoice and be merry because no police will be banging on their doors their end of the year celebrations? Whatever BJ spins, it is definitely ‘every man for himself’ now. So be sensible, everyone… One least favourite thing about COVID-19 for me is lateral flow…

Back home safely!
My flat is as cold as a tomb but I’m so happy to be home! I’m back in London, MY HOME!! We filled up our VW at a petrol station on Upper Street. You never know that another petrol crisis caused by the shortage of lorry drivers may be around the corner if this Omicron business spreads further. So annoying. It is because the heating has been off for the past five days, the flat is taking forever…

It’s been a long long time since my last post. I kind of lost interest in blogging and therefore left it to gather dust. Time to time, I

History always repeats itself…
So Dominic Cummings has left No.10 (and I rejoice with the news!). Well, it is always the case, isn’t it? The tail gets too big for the head and as a result, it’s get casted off.
The angry-faced land turtle’s fall from the grace reminds me about another such man, Jacques Cœur. A famous self-made man in the 15th Century Bourges France.
Mum and I visited Bourges during our road trip in 2018…

London half filled
Last Monday, Hubbie and I went to a clinic on Fleet Street for flu jab. Since the jab reputed to reduce the risk of serious hospitalisation from corona virus, it was a no-brainer decision for us.
From a double decker’s window toward Aldrich…
It was still a few days shy of the second lockdown but the city looked like starting to wind down already. The traffic was light and the streets were…

Hey, I’m still here!
What can I say? I neglected my blog again and I am not proud of it. However, the time has been hard, physically and mentally. And it still is tough.
During time like this, I tend to go on automatic pilot. I stick to routines and avoid thinking about anything too deeply.
When will I be free? When will the world be free? The question I ask everyday.
Still, life goes on, doesn’t it? I…

Bourges
In spite of our hotel being right next to a large church, their bell stayed silent and therefore it didn’t wake us up in the morning. ‘No Sunday survive, today?’, we wondered as we got ready to check out from the hotel.
A quiet Sunday morning…
I left mum and some of our luggage on a side street and went to the car park and retrieve our car. That morning, we were heading to Bourges, 342km…

Dinner at Lyon
What an extraordinary period we are experiencing! The BLM movement which is happening globally is, for me, a very positive event and I love it to continue growing until racial discrimination is eradicated. Yes, we are still in amidst of the coronavirus crisis. But something as important as this can’t wait because it will be inconvenient for someone else. The tide is taking over all of us…
Now,…

Best corona shopping!
It’s my day-off from training so I am writing another post.
I imagine some of us indulged in retail therapy during the last seven weeks in order to alleviate the hardship of the lockdown.
I was certainly one of those people and treated myself a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
Ta-dah!
In fact, I was considering about buying the pair long before this coronavirus business. ‘Do I…

I am alive & kicking!
Despite the fact that I had more time on my hands, I was neglecting my blog until this morning and I do apologise for my laziness. It was not that I was being a couch potato, watching Netflix non-stop but I was on my feet most of the time, training or doing housekeeping.
I’m obsessed about my snap shot…
I am always a bit of busy bee and hate sitting around unless I’m ill. So you can easily…

Beginner’s luck?
Now, the lockdown is its sixth week and we are not only finding ourselves adopting to the new normal but also facing new necessities such as grooming dogs at home.
Pre-haircut Bella
Since the lockdown started, the weather in London was like summer like and Bella’s coat was a little too long for it. Since her usual groomer was closed for a indefinite period, I had to take up the challenge…

This morning, I saw a traffic warden on our street for the first time since the lockdown has started.
They were standing a lot closer…
While the warden was issuing a ticket, a few construction workers came out from a building site nearby and approached him, protesting about the penalty. At one stage, the distance between them was less than 1m even though the confrontation lasted nearly 5…

Exploring Lyon
We alighted the metro at Hôtel de Ville and came out to Place des Terreau. As we approached the square, we saw some white tents and an event was underway.
What is this all about?
It turned out that the event was promoting Paris 2024 Olympics game, letting kids ride stationary bikes and doing some ball games on a makeshift turf.
How could anyone in the square ever imagine Tokyo 2020…

Lyon, oh Lyon...
Lyon, oh Lyon…
The lockdown has entered its second week and we are coping OK so far. We have established a kind of routine and started to feel less stressed about the new normal. Having said that, having too much time on our hands isn’t that great, is it?
Bella is sad about having to stay indoor…
During the time like this, I should be diving into updating my blog. However, I end up fiddling with my…
