Petits bonheurs...

 Poupette et les pâquerettes ;)

Little finger... Blessure de guerre...

Il y a quelques jours, je me faisais un petit plaisir,

une sorte de cadeau de la fête des mères avant l'heure...

de jolies chaussures qui font mal aux pieds,

un sac à magnésie, et surtout mon forfait d'entrée libre

pour la salle de grimpe...

A few days ago, I offered myself a little gift,
a kind of Mother's Day before the hour present ...
nice pair ofshoes that badly hurt the feet,
a chalk bag, and most of all my pass
  for the climbing place ...

J'étais parée, heureuse et insouciante...

mais me connaissant j'attendais l'os,

le truc qui chamboule tes plans et qui arrive juste pile poil

pour te faire suer...

I was ready, happy and carefree ...
but knowing me I was waiting for the hitch,
the thing that messes up your plans and just happens right on time
to bore you stiff ...

Je n'ai pas attendu longtemps...

dès le lendemain mon petit doigt s'est pris pour une saucisse Kn**ki

limite genre Kn**ki Ball, avec le coté rouge de la merguez en plus.

I did not wait long ...
the next day my little finger  

had the appearance of a  Kn ** ki sausage
with the redness of a merguez.

Sos médecin le samedi matin c'est mieux que les croissants... 

et à la pharmacie la tête des pharmaciennes à la vue dudit doigt

m'a fait suivre leur conseil avisé...

direction la Clinique de la main...

Sos doctor on Saturday morning is far better than a croissant ...
and the faces of the pharmacists seeing the said finger-
persuaded me to follow their advice ...
Off to the Hand Clinic...

Elles avaient raison, le chirurgien de garde 

m'a fait l'honneur du gîte et du couvert 

jusqu'au lendemain...

 (et de la perf d'antibios version équine)

They were right, the surgeon on call
made me the offer of bed and board
for the night ...

 ( and a strong antibios drip)

 

Mais il a gardé un bout de doigt quand même...

 But by the way he kept a tip of my finger  ... ;)

Et donc avec une main (droite évidement) anésthésiée

et une main gauche branchée à une perf...

main que tu ne peux pas bouger sinon la perf ne passe pas

le temps parait long... :) 

And so with one hand (the right one of course) anesthetized
and the left one connected to an IV...
hand you can not move or the drip doesn't drip anymore,
time seems long ... :)

Bref le lendemain matin,

au lieu d'avoir mon poème au saut du lit,

récité avec amour par mon petit lou...

ben j'étais toute seule... 

attendant ma deuxième perf d'antibio :) 

In short, the next morning,
instead of having my poem out of bed,
recited with love by my little one ...
well I was all alone ...
waiting my second antibiotics drip :)

Et bien sûr dehors il faisait beau et chaud..

C'était le plus beau week-end depuis longtemps ;))

And of course outside it was sunny and warm ...
This was the best weekend for a long time ;))

Mais bon maintenant j'ai une jolie poupée ;)

But right now I have a nice finger bandage 

(for children, we call that a doll, in french ;)

I'm glad to take part to this event... 

I often feel lost and powerless concerning green issues...

It's pleasing to see that other people care 

about nature and do things and try to make it better.

Je suis heureuse de participer à cet évènement...

Je me sens souvent seule et impuissante 

en ce qui concerne les questions écologiques.

Un peu comme Don Quichotte qui se bat contre ses moulins à vent...

Là j'ai l'impression de faire un petit quelque chose d'utile... :)

Et cela fait plaisir de voir que des gens se mobilisent 

et organisent des choses

et qu'à mon petit niveau je peux les aider!

For this occasion you will be able to bid 

on two very nicely done prints on wood...

with low starting prices...

I count on you!

The two available prints will be :

"Lacrimosa"

and 

"Lhasa"

The M. Lady

M. for Mysterious...

I can't find her a name yet...

Maybe you would help? :)

"Dans les bois"?

"Little Miss Mystère" ?

Funny to consider now all the steps she went through...
From the girl very girly , very princess-like 

for the children book 

to something more personnal...

Inked octopus...

coming to life...

 

Tentacles... wip...

 

Tattooing... Tentacles...

in progress ;)
