Almost winter

Cold and grey November days. The original photo was too grey to my taste, so I colored it.
Will we have snow this winter???

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.

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!

Braving COVID

Holidays during the pandemic... I had to go away for a few days, cabin fever, lockdown... Last, it had to be Greece. Why Greece? Well, they had very few cases at that time. And I went to a small village in southern Crete, avoiding people. One year and a few months later: still alive and well, getting my third Pfizer jab in 2 weeks.

Local products

One of a kind vending machine in the central train station, selling fresh local Alsatian products: Sauerkraut, complete with potatoes and sausages, horseradish (aka "Alsatian wasabi"), goose liver, munster (a very smelly cheese), different sausages, jam... A gueter! Bon appétit!

Electric

Number 10 city bus, in front of the central train station. Strasbourg is a green municipality, all tramways and most busses run on electricity.
