François Gabart, a distraction in my revision work

77 days ago, I wrote about the world tour sailing, the departure of  Vendée Globe.
And today, the first one (that is his first participation!), François Gabart, 29 (the youngest), is arriving. He will break a record too, finishing in less than 80 days.

So I wanted to congratulate him and all the other skippers, because they deserve it! and see you in 2016!

those news make me think about something else than my exams...

 

 



“If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow

I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes
Coz this time's only borrowed

I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it

I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right…”    > James Morrison

Bon vent

Just want to wish good luck to the 20 skippers who left France for the  world tour sailing.

“…who but words cannot be seen

When all left is love, there will be no in between
Tucked in the corner of Earth
Naked in light we are born
Oh, can you hear the sea calling?
Calling us into the world
…
We know we are present here, but may never know why…” >       The Temper Trap

(deep) Purple

Even if one of my best friends hates this colour, I completely love it : purple!

(and I found the perfect purple nail polish (from Kiko)!)

And today's a special day too!

Why?

First day of the Olympic Games*?

Well, no, in fact, this is the 1st year of my blog's existance!

When I started, one year ago, I wanted first to share my drawings and sketches, but I quickly realized that I had a lot of photographs to show and passions to talk about.

That's why I really want to thank you for visiting this blog, for (the few) messages you left and to make it be "alive".

I'm always surprised when I see how many visits I got and how far people are from too (United States, Russia, United Kingdom or Venezuela, Turkey or Indonesia...and so on) and it proves me that there are not only my friends who are checking it...

“On the other side of a downward spiral

 My love for you went viral

 And I loved you every mile you drove away

 But now here you are again

 So let's skip the "how you been"

 And get down to the "more than friends" at last…”        > Train

* did you watch Arctic Monkeys playing in the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony ?? No, check here! to listen or here to watch! (I'll marry Alex Turner one day...)

Ski + Snow + Sun + ...

Hey! I'm back!

“Heaven is a place on earth with you

It's better than I ever even knew

They say that the world was built for two

Only worth living if somebody is loving you…”   > Lana del Rey 

All Blacks

They won the 7th World Cup of Rugby in their own country, against France, 8 - 7. So I had to make a post about it.

I usually don't wear a lot of black...so this picture is a bit old... (but don't forget that EVERY girl must have a LBD!! (I have two)...)

   Have a nice (colored) day!

My favourite player from New-Zealand: Colin Slade (ok, he didn't play today...)
