Autoportrait



Photo Friday's challenge this week is: Self-portrait.
That's under A - as in autoportrait - in my French vocabulary list.

Autoportrait meaning that you draw, or since it it's a photo challenge, that you take a photo of yourself. Not the autoportrait where the robot draws you.


J'ai choisi d'aller au photomaton. Oh- not the one in the streets or in the corner of some supermarket. The one on the Mac. Oui, c'est moi avec mon cahier français.

Start your photographic vocabulary list today and join me on Photo Friday!

J'ai choisi d'aller au photomaton. I decided to go to the photo booth.

Oui, c'est moi avec mon cahier français. Yes, it's me with my French notebook.


Check out the robot that draws on robotlab.

Smells like French Spirit


French soaps are renowned, lovely to use and make great presents.

So I'm always on the lookout for French soap wherever I go. A recent trip to Hamburg drew me once again to the Perle Shop (they carry some cute French products). So when I saw the colorful box with the big blue RIVALE written on it I thought "bonjour" and snapped it up!

Turns out Claus Porto was saying "bom dia" to me. The Grapefruit Fig bath soap which tempted
me is in fact made by the oldest, family-owned soap manufacturer in Portugal. Oh, I thought- almost in disappointment until I turned over the brightly designed box and read the fine print: "Aromatic composition (made in France)".
