un petit pause
Today I’m taking a break from tales of my staycation to regale you with tidbits of recent life here in The LPV. Enjoy. {CSI: Barbie} ++ Do you have any idea how creepy it is to find a Barbie that looks like it barely survived a zombie apocalypse right outside your front door? It’s effing…

let me tell you about my morning
{Mrs.London’s, Napoleon, in Fifty’s superhero hand-me-downs} Yesterday morning that is. It started at 5:30. I was awake and felt refreshed so I thought, OK, I guess I just go ahead and get up. As walked into the kitchen I spotted an empty juice carton on the counter. Unhappy thoughts started racing through my mind. Unhappy…

Harry Potter Saves the Day
source Yesterday, Papa, his wife, Brother-in-Law, Child Bride, and La Petite, left for their annual family holiday to Corsica. They’ve been going to the same island holiday home there for years and years. It’s more like an annual pilgrimage than a holiday, it’s serious stuff Corsica is. The thing is this, The Husband has never…

Blame it on Rio
If you’re confused by that photo above, trust me, I understand. It’s two guys; one in some sort of a tutu and one in a fuzzy pink vest (under the fuzzy pink vest was a gold lame bikini top that I was more than a little jealous of by the way) and they are playing…

this is how I do it
It was a hot one this weekend, and not only in The LPV, all over France it was steaming. Even where Gregory’s mother lives outside Clermont-Ferrand got hot, like 30+°C (90+°F) hot which practically never ever happens up there in her cool Thermal town. And here, it reached 35°C, which without AC is pretty unbearable. Besides sitting around…

lickity split
++ That’s Fifty’s nemesis sitting on the window ledge all high and mighty. I’m not a fan either, but I do admire his balance. ++ Brazil Day was on Wednesday. I’m sure you’re thinking… wait a second, wasn’t Brazil Day a month ago… and you’d be right, it was, but that last Brazil Day wasn’t…

the summer fate date
Weeks ago, Kirsty, Aidan and I decided that we needed to start planning our next date because the last time we were all together was April Fools Day and that was practically forever and a day ago, and with summer flying by the way it is, if we didn’t hurry up and do something, we’d…

le baptême
{a fairy tale christening} I have failed you my friends. La Petite was christened and I was without a camera to capture all of The LPV goodness (and trust me, there was loads) so I will do my utmost to describe it as best as I can. By the way, me not having my camera…

the cat is out of the bag
ta da! The Husband’s name is Gregory (not the French version, Grégoire) and he’s a Cancer.He likes wrestling with Fifty, eating raw meat, sipping Rosé on the beach with Mr. London, and if he had been born a girl, he would have been named, Elodie, so I like to call him that from time to…

prepare yourself, you know it's a must
{La Petite taking her Tonton for a walk} Not wanting my memory and thus my blog post to go the way of Brazil Day, at Papa’s Wife’s mother’s 90th birthday lunch, I frantically scrawled bits of information on a red napkin, prompting The German to ask me if I was writing my memoirs, to which…
