je viens de voir Le Comte de Monte Cristo avec Pierre Niney en VOD. Ce film est magnifique et reste assez fidèle au roman d'Alexandre Dumas. Je recommande. C'est facilement la meilleure adaptation du roman. Bravo!

Bonsoir - voici un retour de lecture de Née en France - Histoire d'une jeune beur par Aïcha Benaïssa et Sophie Ponchelet (Payot 1990) ISBN 2-266-10624-4 C'est une autobiographie qui raconte Le tiraillement d'Aïcha entre le respect des traditions et la quête d'autonomie individuelle #booksky

Critique du livre Le Garçon au Pyjama Rayé de John Boyne Pour moi c'est un livre inacceptable pour enseigner la shoah. #booksky

Si je vous donne l'impression que j'aime tout ce que je regarde ou lis, détrompez vous. Un post sur facebook m'a donné l'opportunité de faire une critique très négative sur un film:

Je viens de regarder Les 400 Coups de François Truffaut sur la plateforme France TV. Ce film mérite tout à fait son statut de classique du cinéma.

Voici mon rideau brodé à la main et mon sapin de Noël

Happy Hannukah to everyone who celebrates

En ce jour de Noël, j'espère que les habitants de Mayotte reçoivent le soutien nécessaires pour reconstruire leurs vies. Que ce soit en termes de logement, de nourriture ou de toute autre forme de soutien, ils méritent notre solidarité et nos pensées positives. photo: sapin de Noël à Mayotte

Calendrier de l'avent broderie - Jour 10 un sapin géométrique Les motifs de broderie, en particulier ceux utilisés pour des décorations festives comme les sapins de Noël, sont souvent codifiés et transmis de génération en génération comme ceux compilés par la London School of Embroidery.

#booksky retour de lecture de Belles et Rebelles, femmes oubliées de la Révolution par Sabrina Kiefner Si vous êtes passionnés par les biographies romancées dans le style d'Alexandre Dumas, George Sand, , vous aimerez ce recueil. disponible sur le site www.editions-maia.com/.../belles-r...

I replied to the site who published this photo on facebook. It is best to buy cheaper material and practise rather than buying lots of craft supplies that clutter the home as they remain unused. with painting always get a good brush and a set of pencils, and embroidery always get a good needle.

Hello, I painted this watercolour landscape this weekend. I hope you like it. #myart #watercolour #watercolor #riverside #landscape

Bon deuxième dimanche de l'avent

Notre-Dame de Paris merci aux artisans qui l'ont restaurée.
