Des hauts et des bas...
Aug. 13th, 2017 04:46 pmHello, guys. It's already mi-August and I feel like I haven't been home a lot since mid-July.
The month of July was quite an emotional rollercoaster for me: there were some very lows and some pretty highs, some upsetting moments and some happy ones. Come to think of it... I suppose it's been a sort of intense Life Digest, in short :)
Mid-July has been all about The Positive, though. I've been on a four-day trip to Dublin with my sister (you know, our Yearly Sisterly Adventure to a European capital), which was followed, two weeks later, by a four-day trip to Stockholm with my wife. Two countries in less than three weeks, pretty amazing :) I already knew (and loved) Dublin but it was my first time in Stockholm and I had a blast, it's a beautiful city! Plus, the weather was gorgeous so it was perfect. We're already planning on going back in the upcoming years, maybe during Autumn/Winter to see another side of it.
After that, it was family time: four days in Normandy with the in-laws followed by a week with my parents, sister, nieces, godfather and aunt, cousins and nephew (quite a whole bunch of us, really) in Duras, in Lot-et-Garonne (South East France), to visit another whole bunch of cousins. We talk over at Whatsapp pretty much every day but it'd been a couple of years since we saw most of them so I was really impatient to get there. Plus, being on vacation in that place is so sweet: (usually, it was rather cloudy this time around) gorgeous weather, gorgeous countryside, gorgeous villages, absolutely delicious terroir food... We came back yesterday: back to the city, the concrete and the noise.
I hope you've all been well. Or if you're going through a rough patch that things get better soon *hugs* I'm afraid I haven't checked my flist in quite some time and I feel a bit guilty over it, but now that I'm back in Choisy, I'll try to make up for lost time. Sometimes I wish I had an LJ Buddies Whatsapp group because this is a platform I use kinda All the Time ;)
