J'ai vu la neige !

Hello, flist. How are you all doing? Good, I hope. It'd seem I've fallen out of the habit of posting more regularly (I was so consistent on so many things during Lockdown #1, you'd think habits would stick. They don't necessarily) and you know how it is when you mean to do a little update, it can get a bit tedious if some time has gone by. So I'm taking the lazy route and posting a little collage - I don't know why I didn't do that earlier, btw, I should make a monthly collage to remember the year by in a super-easy way. Will think about it *nodnod*

You'll see, it's pretty much of the 'Same old, same old' category



As I said, same old same old: still having fun with the food part (I'm trying out new Korean recipes here and there - not that you'd see it since the meal in the picture is a version of a Japanese curry but, yes, having fun with those). Still working from home although I've gone back to work on-site once a week (we'll see how long that lasts). Still deeply, madly in love with Kdramas. Incidentally, still learning Korean by myself (it remains such a fun and stimulating experience, if a bit of a lonely one, especially for a language you're learning from scratch. At least with German and Italian I have some ground to stand on, here I'm just going for it and hoping it works out ;) Thankfully there are a plethora of online resources and I've found some that really help. I still hope I'll be able to enroll in a proper Korean class next year, though).

And, extremely exciting, it snowed! That was such a beautiful surprise, you guys! It rarely snows in the Parisian suburb (I think the last time was two-three years ago?) and when it started snowing on Saturday morning it felt like pure magic! Obviously, it's nothing compared to what some of you are used to but this was huge for me :) Snow always makes me happy but this year even more so; it was such a beautiful surprise, as I said, such a welcome break from routine. So that was absolutely lovely :)

There're not many outdoor pictures because a) our curfew starts at 6.00PM so that's 0 opportunity to do anything during the week and b) we're trying to keep our outings to a minimum - but we did go to Paris a couple of times so that was nice too :)

Apart from that, we're doing good. Hope it's the same for you. Take care, flist *hugs*

PS: my 'lazy' route wasn't that lazy, after all ;) Go figures.

Well I'd be very happy to see that collage. They really would be a good way to track the year.

I know what you mean though, there's so little to share right now. Obviously, we have media and fannish stuff, but the rest is, stayed in again. What a surprise.

Have you been watching the new Prodigal Son? I have them downloaded but need to catch up.

Ah non j'utilise pas du tout, mais du coup je vais peut-être y jeter un oeil! Merci!
