Amazon World's Bookmark

 During our time in the Isle of Wight, we went to Amazon World, where we all had a lovely time (read this post for instance). We bought a few souvenirs of course, we always do when we enjoy a place. And we try to buy practical things, not merely things that look cute. But they do look cute all the same. Anyway, you know I am always on the lookout for new bookmarks, especially when I visit a place, for the reasons I mentioned a few days ago: we never have enough of them, they're always very useful and they are easy to carry back home as they don't take much room. And this is not counting their sentimental values. So I bought this new bookmark in Amazon World. I cannot remember if it was my wife or Wolfie who found it. But it made perfect sense for all of us to buy it, because among all the animals you see on it, there is a lemur, Wolfie's favourite animal (and green is his favourite colour on top of that). In fact, this is as much Wolfie's bookmark as it is mine.

Paix intérieure...

 Des fois je trouve des niaiseries sur les internets et je les partage ici. C'est tout.

Say it with a lemur

 It was our wedding anniversary two days ago and my wife's parents sent us this card to commemorate. With, as you can see, a lemur on it. Well, flowers too, but truly it's a card with a lemur. Why did they give us a card with a lemur, you may ask? Because their grandson Wolfie loves lemurs. They are among his favourite animals. He also has a lemur plush toy, present from them, called Lemur, who is his favourite plush toy. So the moral of the story is: when you have children, every celebration is all about them. But I'm not complaining: I adore my son and what he brings in our life. And lemurs are really cool too.

Lémuriens sur les murs

Voici une nouvelle photo prise sur le mur deBute Park à Cardiff. Je crois, je n'en suis pas certain, que ce sont des lémuriens. J'ai voulu les partager ce soir rien que pour l'allitération et le calembour atroce du titre: lémuriens sur les murs. Avouez que vous avez une migraine rien qu'à lire cette horreur.

Lisa Simpson's teaching approach

To make you smile this evening, I thought I would present a short clip from The Simpsons, back from when it was as intelligent as it was funny. This is in fact a number of scenes, from the second season's episode Blood Feud. If you find Lisa over the top in the way she teaches her little sister, I find her sensible. In fact, I do the same thing with Wolfie. And he does have a lemur plush toy.

Les lémuriens

Photo prise à Branféré, comme d'habitude je la mets ici car elle sert mon propos. On y voit des lémuriens. Je ne savais rien d'eux, sauf que le nom dérivait de lémure, les fantômes de la mythologie romaine. Ce qui aurait été déjà une raison suffisante pour s'y intéresser. Or, il y a quelques semaines, mes beaux-parents ont visité un autre zoo durant leur séjour en Angleterre et ont acheté à leur petit-fils un toutou de lémurien. Pas mal plus mignon que ceux-là, avec une bouille plus affectueuse, mais enfin bref, c'est je crois son toutou préféré avec Renard. Alors je vais me mettre à m'instruire sur les lémuriens.
