English or French ?

The end of the year is not so far yet. Hardly two months and a half of hard work (because of the end of the year) and then the winter holidays.
Looking back to all what I have posted I realise that there is not so much English in it. I am sorry, I wish I could be as fluent in English than I am in French.
At least the English readers can have a small consolation by discovering that there is almost nothing in Spanish.

I started, in February, a memories blogs serial, but since then I haven’t had time enough to develop and continue. I try to keep up to date the artistic side even if for the time being I am only up-to-date with the paintings part. By the way, I have added a blog containing some examples of my daughter drawings.

By the end of this month we are going to spend a week at the Belgian coast : La Panne / De Panne just next the French border.

It is a kind of tradition to spend a week there for the First of November. We rent the same apartment for years.

Our children are in holidays and we invite one or two schoolmates of both of them so we make a bigger family. At the same time friends come to pay a visit to us. We make big walks along the coast and sometimes in the dunes, a bit inside (I cannot call them hiking) jus big walk between ten and fifteen kilometres. We hire bikes and ride on the surroundings.
Children, even if they are not anymore so childish, they still like digging big holes on the beach. They can stay hours outside in the fresh air.

My wife and I love going for a walk in the morning, when the other are still sleeping. We walk just where the waves die. On the way back we pass through the bakers and bring fresh bread an croissants for the breakfast.

We read a lot. I take the time too to put in order my directories and files in my personal disks : archive, delete, reorder, etc. Prepare, offline, some draft articles or blogs in order to publish them when I am back.

I also try to find inspiration to make some watercolours.

This time I intend revise too my notes about English and if I find time enough my Finnish notes too, as we are going to Finland on holidays in August 2008.
