It’s been a long time we wanted to cut this oak, which is stealing our evening sun, and this weekend we finally got it down. It took one complete day, lots of sweat and sore muscles, but it was well worth it, and no more sport needed this week.
The owner helped us by lending the chainsaw, and explaining how to make the trunk fall in the right direction. On the second picture you can see how that went… one of them ended up rigth on the fence…
It was lots of work to cut and move everything after.
These are my tulips that I planted in november, just coming out!

Well, I cannot show you a lot of flowers, they’ll come later…
But I got 34 tagetes (oeillets d’inde).
Today I attended a small workshop in Acrobatics held by Olivier & Natasha. I was lucky that there was a girl who couldn’t come so I could borrow her guy. We learnt ‘over the back’ (armkastet) and ‘la hanche’ (höftkastet) (don’t know that one in english). Well, I knew them before, but since I love acro I couldn’t resist the chance to practice them again. They taught the techique of ‘over the back’ a bit differently to what I’m used to, more round, always interesting to try different approaches. I tried to take some pictures but none of them turned out very well.
I promised mum to show my new friend Gwladys, with whom I went with to Grenoble last weekend, with whom I’ll go on all lindy camps we can afford and with whom I’ll try to start up a small lindy club in Amadeus.
