And this is the result ! Shashliki on the mangal, ready after 15 mn, while you have to turn them regularly.

Arrrrrhhh these footballer kids !

I almost forgot that week-end is also the long run for these kids playing football (soccer) in the inner garden of our block.
I quite hate them because they have no respect at all for us, living around, and their parents are encourageing them in this behaviour.
I think that the whole society is loosing a lot by forgotting to learn kids a minimum of citizenship etiquette.
We little by little returning to the forest age, when the strongest was always right.

Datcha and Shashlik party

This is a shashlik party in our friend's datcha near Moscow, this summer.

This is my 100th post !!!!

And I am ready for this week-end : it's going to be a shashlik sunday, with the mangal appliance I bought in Moscow this summer.
The weather for the moment is very well suited for that party, keep my fingers crossed !

Autumn is back

It's official, automn is back. here in Paris suburbs, it means gray, some rain, wind, quite cold but not very cold. In one word, sad ! I hate this Paris style weather ! Beuuuuuuurk ! I'm living here forced because of the job being here too. I have only one hope, is to be able to move. The best move for me and Ryzhya is to move for Moscow, but Bretagne will fit for a while too.

Beer and white wine

Who can tell me if he's already experienced that beer and wine are nto well suite for each other. I feel quite bad after mixing these beverage !!!

Why the shoutbox doesn't work ?

I thought that the shoutbox will tempt some of the visitors to say something, but nothing happened !
strange, because it's easier than comments and is doesn't last as long as comment.

The 100th visitor

Yesterday this blog passed the 100-visitor barrier. Hip hip hip - Huraaaaa !
I know that others have more than that every day, but for me it's not bad.
In reality, most of these visits are mine, when I'm updating the blog :-)
If you compare posts (98) and visitors (103), you'll understand that my blog is almsot never visited :-)
I blog just for my pleasure, and I'm trying to get some experience in the writing of small articles.
When I look at other blogs, what I feel as the worst defect of mine, is the lack of originality.
I like so much these blogs either very clean and glassy, either these bardachok when you think the author has not all his/her brain potential enable (but all is under control of course, and that is great !).
So, I have to improve dramatically if I want to find my blog as beautiful and interesting as these ones.

Sunday at home

it started tonight, because we watched the US Open final between 2 russians, Kustnetzova et Dementieva, then I watched F1 Monza gd prix.
Ryzhya has her back hurting her and our plan to buy some shelves went short.

Workers of the world, Unite !

The face of the world will change radicaly, away from the brain illness of today business men lead by blindness of share holders, when a chinese worker and a US worker will stop to work while they have not the same level of social coverage than in France or in Sweden. The globalization of these product units for localized markets will explode when a tide from the workers side will bring them up to the consciousness of the similarity of their condition.
