Weekend in black and white

I was lucky enough to visit the municipal baths in Strasbourg this morning. A historical protected building, build between 1905 and 1908, reopening next Monday, after 3 years renovation. Complete with 2 inside pools, 1 outside pool, several saunas, hammam, roman baths, a salt wall sauna, 2 gyms, massage, healthy cooking courses... I'm probably forgetting something. Truly magnificent. More photos to come soon.(In colors!).

More b&w here, as usual.
 

PMC

The PMC, aka Palais de la Musique et des Congrès. Quite groovy architecture.
 

Christmas is coming

The tree was put up yesterday. Once decorated, il will be the tallest Christmas tree in Europe, with its 30 meters. As usual. It will be ready for the opening of the Christmas market, on November 26th. 

 

Sally

 Recently, at the vintage fair. Every single Ford Mustang just has to be called Sally!!!

A great big mess

Cookbooks. Well, just a small part of them. Many more books... I really need to sort them out one day, reread them, give many away. It might take me a whole day. I will do it, no need to remind myself every 6 months. And I really should stop buying 5-10 books a month, more than I can actually read!

Anyway, more messy post here, for this month's CDP theme day.

Pinball

I can't remember the last time I saw one of those machines in a bar. Probably Paris, in the 80es. Anyway, I was happy seeing a few at a vintage fair last weekend. For sale, at truly gigantic prices. Hey, it's vintage!

Now, let's head back to my crazy youth. Nice boots, Elton me boyo!
