Hi all,it was about time I posted something about our engagement. Yes, Neryssa and I are engaged as of the 6th June 2009, and we are getting married on the 14th August 2010 in England, Great Missenden at the Missenden Abbey.I am obviously very pleased that she said yes when I proposed. She was surprised, which is good because it is better when it is a surprise, right? She also seemed very pleased

Hi guys,still at home with a reduced mobility. The first few days were very painful as you can imagine, so I took some painkillers. The muscles gradually became more and more flexible so I was able to walk. Now, it's been 8 days or so and even though I could not go back to work tomorrow (even if I wanted) I feel a lot better. However, yesterday the wound started bleeding suggesting a possible

Hello all,a quick bit of news to say that I was at the hospital this last Friday, 14th August, for a hernia repair. It went fine and I am now back at home, however I am off work for the next 2 weeks so that I can recover.Tcho,Geoffrey.

Back in Burton-upon-Trent, we walked along a path and those trees (?) were reminding me of the devil's horns (spiky!!).Edit: Ok, they do not look at all like devil's horns, more like pitchfork maybe... anyway, there is something menacing about them... :)Zimm.

A bit of artwork, now and again, will not kill anyone. I don't usually draw because, let us face it, I can not, but this time there was a little girl who was asking for drawings so I joined the group and created this little Ze birdy.

Match Point is directed by Woody Allen, and stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emily Mortimer and Scarlett Johansson, amongst other. A young tennis trainer (Jonathan) starts training some rich banking guy. He subsequently meets the sister (Emily), parents, and then fiancée (Scarlett) of this rich guy. He starts dating the sister, and slowly progresses into the father's business. Very quickly, it shows

I watched this movie recently, starring Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank. Clint plays a boxing trainer who is over careful with his current trainee which makes the trainee leaves him. Then comes along this girl (Hilary), thirthy-ish old, who wants to be trained by Clint. He refuses at first, but finally accepts. From there, a father-daughter/lover relation starts, so does the success of Hilary's

Ahhhh, that was nice this morning on the way to work, the nicest scent I can think of around this period of the year: the smell of freshly cut grass. It might sound weird, and I would not want to bottle this scent for future use. The reason I find it nice is that it is strongly associated with Spring and later Summer time.Yes, we are approaching Spring!! Yepiiiiii. Motivation boost.

Yeahhhh, that was good.There seems to be a lot of criticism about this movie because it is not as good as the earlier ones (with Peter Sellers). I have not seen the earlier ones, so I can not compare, but with an absolute judgement, can I say it was good fun? Yes I can. It was good fun. Steve Martin might not be as good as Peter Sellers in the role of Inspecteur Cluzeau, but I don't think it

We recently watched the three Shrek movies in a row. It was rather fast, roughly 4h30.I am not going over the synopsis because I suppose everybody knows what it is about and if not, check www.imdb.com and look up for Shrek.Rather, I will comment on the movies and their quality and whether I enjoyed it or not.Shrek is an "ugly" ogre, but considering he is an ogre, he is not bad looking :).

Hi There,long time no see... no read actually, but never mind.Middle of February we were enjoying the slopes in Schladming, Austria - the slopes as in skiing them down. You might ask "But where is Schladming?" well this is in the Alpes, see Google Maps. We took the plane on a Saturday morning with a take-off at 7am from the Midlands Airport, which meant taking a taxi early in the morning and

I was aiming at Dunc (in the background) but was not checking in the view finder so I ended up taking a picture of the bottle instead...which I find quite funky.

Duncan is reading a dictionnary (!?). I changed the colours to black and white to accentuate the studious aspect of the pose.

Window of the bedroom with natural light at this time of the night. The gloomy aspect probably comes from the weird lights that are just outside in courtyard.

Hello there,that's the new layout of my Study - our study I should say since Nery is moving in soonish. We've put everything against the walls so that we can walk in the room without any problem.The study will be divided in two sections:1. reading area with the sofa bed and the chair.2. study place with the desks.As you can see, we are surrounded by bookcases and I managed to get part of the

Hi,that was a nice pub. The inside was warm and welcoming. The staff was relatively friendly. I can't remember seeing a particular very nice beer there, and the food was not exceptional... but worth a call in if you're hungry.

Hi All,today is a quite important day for the French people I guess. Yes, I am part of them so I am concern about this big day - even if we're facing a bigger one in a fortnight. Today if the first round of the French president elections. The four main favourites were/are Sarko, S. Royal, Bayrou and Le Pen.Sarko (that's his nickname) is not far from Le Pen is the sense that he would like to see a

Hi,another review for today: what macro lens I should get??? that's a very important question!!I have several things in mind: the Canon EF-S 60mm F2.8, the Sigma 70mm F2.8 or possibly the Tamron 90mm F2.8. I am not sure about the Tamron: never heard of the name before and I wonder if 90mm is not too much of a focal length. They all have a minimal aperture size of F2.8 which will be very useful

Hi there,a big recent event is the coming out of the Wii - the Nintendo console. This one is supposed to go on the same standard as the Xbox 360 (Microsoft) and the next year console Playstation 3 (Sony). I don't really know if they have the same computational power, the same game play or the same type of games we will be able to play on.So I made myself a little review because I feel like I want

Hi people,The Fountain - trailerthis is the new movie from Aronofsky, director of Pi and Requiem for a dream. The reviews are not all good, but as one can say: what the masses like is not always good...and the opposite is most of the time true.I am a bit excited about this new movie because Requiem for a Dream was particularly brilliant (my opinion anyway) so hopefully this one will be more or

Hi again,another one in terms of experimentation with the camera.This time the lense is kept steady while the camera body rotates around the main axis. It is important that the main axis remains pointed to the same object. The centre of the image is (more or less) in focus while around definitely shows a sort of rotational effect.Zimm,Harpenden, 12.11.06

Hi,in the line of playing around with the camera, Zmsba suggested to test some things. Here it goes:The idea is to rotate the lense (so the zoom) while taking the picture but leaving the camera body steady. If well done, the centre of the image should be sharp while the surroundings are... different as you can note on the picture.Zimm,Harpenden, 12/11/06

Hi There,it's been a while I've posted anything on this blog. Yeh, well, quite busy mainly. The last big event was my birthday; I just turned 27...ouch. No really no problem of being 27. What is the big fuss about being older. That's nice: people call me Sir, some even call me Dr. Life is wonderful, apart from the fact that instead of getting a cake, I'm just having two friends punching me in me

Hello guys, the big news this week is my purchase of a new lens for my digital camera. This is the Canon EF 24-135 IS USM. I am quite happy about it; okay I've been using it for 2 or 3 days but still it sounds great... I'm not saying I'm going to take better pictures now, but maybe less blurred at least.I was using the standard 17-55 so far, which is quite good but it's not a real zoom though.

10,000 days, it's a huge number. What does this mean? Anything? I picked this up after the music band Tool: "10,000 Days" is their last album. I don't know the meaning for those guys, maybe there's none after all. However, I realized this corresponds to 27 years something (more precisely and according to my own date of birth: this is 27 years, 4 months and 18 days). This number is brilliant,

Hi there, it's been a while I haven't post anything...mainly because I had nothing to say recently :)So last weekend (for the 1st May) I went in France to visit my parents and my "lovely" sister. Okay, just being harsh... but it doesn't go very smooth between us. Probably because we have not the same idea about life. Anyway, I was in Rouen for a couple of days because I kinda needed it... go back

Hi,everything started when a French friend told us to come for her birthday. It was a good idea. A French birthday means most of the time great food, cheese and wine...This time too :).Therefore, after a couple of glasses of wine, we decided that the balloons were alive and were meant to kill people by sucking the life out of them...(Okay, I said there was wine, for the record: a 5L bottle of

Hey guys!A nice picture of the group I've been out for a drink with. It was a nice evening, though we were kinda numerous (16!!) so it was not easy to find a pub with enough free room. I don't know the Pub's name, but it was in Harpenden, in the south part. It was on the Wednesday 13.04.06. I didn't take the picture, and I'm on it. Therefore, the big question is: Where am I??Something quite funny

Hi! Happy Easter. On the left are the pictures of the food we had for this last Sunday Lunch for Easter. The food was amazing, thanks to Elizabete and all the cooks who helped her with this. (I modestely brought some wine, which was not really extraordinary).There was a table of starters, then a table of main courses and finally (if you did not die before that) the table of desserts. Personnaly,

Hi (again), sorry I don't have any picture this time. So, I went in London today, with my friends Ben and Marcin. We went for a precise reason, they wanted (and I joined them) to go to the Science Museum and watch one of those movies in 3D. So we did. It was really nice, the movie was "Walking on the Moon" and telling the story of Apollo and all the crew of the program, how they did it, when, who

Hey guys. I just wanted to share with you my last buyings I've made these last few days. Last week I found the two sweaters, navy blue and ...beige??, well what ever (Mark & Spencer), 100% coton. Yesterday, I went in St Albans and I found those 2 new trousers in a Republic store. Finally, the last but not the least, my new shoes: Adidas Superstar WD (Black). I was looking for this particular
