Lunch time at the lake

Yesterday at lunch, after a morning in a room with computers, we decided to eat in a park and get wet… Lucienne, a classmate took her camera to take pictures of me (she didn’t get into the water). It’s not the same as the ocean, but I’m happy to have water close by and be able to swim.

Grr…, the water it’s so cold…













Finally in the water, after who knows how many minutes…

After the “swim”, time to eat, I’m starving…

Frog tale !!!

One morning, I was barely awake, I got into the shower,…, and boom I felt something between my legs It was a

Yes, it was a frog… Not the first one in my bathroom, but the biggest one. It seems that Leo (my cousin's cat) likes to catch frog and brings then to my bathroom

That frog stay there for like a week, he was good at hiding, so we had to wait to be two to catch and take it outside. The good side of having a frog, less flies…He had plenty to eat and there is a small leak in the shower, so he had plenty of water.
Today I found another one, it look like he was dead, but mmm I had my doubts… So I left there, and came back after dinner. Guess what… he was ok, so I try to take it with a towel, and you won't believe he fake it again… The good side it's that it's easier to take it out.Now I'm really careful when I walk into the bathroom, just in case…

I've been tease by my family with the whole frog thing (there has already been 4 of them). My ant says that I should write a book. A couple of nights ago she was telling me that Leo brings them because as Diane the goddess of the hunt, he brings them as an offering,. And then my uncle had to add that it some culture the frog is symbol of Fertility….

Well I'm finally able to post a picture of me…watching the news…

An old friend !!!

Sometimes I like to take a walk by the lake, and to visit an old friend from my childhood.

When I was little, my grand-mother used to tell me the story that Charlie Chaplin moved to Switzerland “his house it’s close to where we live and his wife still lives there" (she even show me road to take to get to their house). Chaplin’s wife has passed away and now she lays next to her husband. 5 years ago when I came to Vevey, I looked everywhere for the statue (I did not remember exactly where it was) and since then I like sometimes to visit it…
By looking at pictures related to Charlie Chaplin, I just learn that he passed away the year I was born, I haven’t visit the cemetery yet, but it’s pretty close to where my uncle lives (so, for sure I will go one of this days…).
I leave with his story, the one that appears on some brochures

Charles Chaplin (1889-1977)
Anglo-American Actor and Director

In 1943 at the peak of his career, Charles Spencer Chaplin married Oona, daughter of the dramatist Eugene O’Neill. During the MacCarthy era, one year after producing “limelight”, he left the States for Europe. In 1953, the couple settled with their children in Corsier, at the Manoir de Ban, a property surrounded by century-old trees. The family was quickly adopted. The children went to the local state school, and the local cinema showed their father’s films, much to their amusement. Every year, Sir Charles and Lady Oona Chaplin used to go to the National Circus Knie when it stopped at Vevey; they were much loved by the community. Sir Charles and Lady Oona Chaplin are buried in the cemetery of Corsier
