Monday evening. I stop for a drink with a friend at Place du Jeu de Balle. The square is a different place. Empty and full of parked cars.

My first apartment after a series of rooms of … Continue reading
On Friday night I decided to finally try out Spirito Martini club. It apparently was very popular and very close to my place. The feedback I had got about it was contradictory however covering the love-hate range. A friend said: “If you are going there, I am not coming. I don’t like the people…not professionals, … Continue reading
Last night I joined Jana’s Seasonal Supper at the Urban Ecology Centre . It is a monthly initiative in which visitors cook and eat together vegetarian food in exchange for a donation to support the ecological initiatives of the Centre.
