Hello (or good evening), it's as you wish. Today is a day of mourning, after Maha who puts end to the activity of the Enculuminatis, I learned this afternoon that Isabelle also stop Conscience of the people...
In short, these are two big actors who leave the scene, and with the time they have devoted to informing us (almost 13 years for Isabelle), Maha has also been active for a long time.
It's obviously a big blow for the blogosphere, finally they have the right to “live their lives” and think a little about themselves and their loved ones.
So, as you will have understood, it's a very sad day for our little community...
For the time being, as far as we are concerned, faithful to Dot's recommendations, I have chosen tickets that affect us (and will allow you, like me, to situate yourself in relation to others).
Thank you for your trust, and have a good weekend.
Sincerely,
Folamour & Chalouette.

We replaced meat with ham.
"If we get to eat meat once a week, we're happy. Otherwise, we will eat Ham. It's getting harder and harder, so you have to make concessions on the food », acknowledges Sylvie.
A quarter of French people have reduced their food budget. The couple do their shopping in discount stores, and complete their purchases in convenience stores. “Fruits and vegetables are prettier on the market and they are cheaper,” explains Sylvie.
