Avéc mon soeur...

In Jen's absence, I did some crazy things no one will ever know. 

However, I also took the opportunity to spend a bit of time with my dear sister Cloé. One wild night, I even walked all the way over to her place for a wonderful dinner, complete with wine and special stinky cheese. 

Here is Cloé in her new apartment that she has recently moved into with her also kinda new boyfriend Gabriel. She is holding exhibit A, an Italian phrase book that we shall employ on our trip to Italy in early May. I learned Ping Pong is still Ping Pong in Italian. Thank goodness, cause I was lost on that one and starting to get concerned..


This is Cloé & Gabriel's new living room that they pretty much rebuilt from scratch after moving in. There were many renovations to be done, so they tell me, and all in all it took over a month! But it was worth it for me, as I found it extremely comfortable to hang out in. 

Me, goofily excited to be hanging out with my sister. 

Gabriel, a nice shot taken by my artistically inclined sister, using my gear!

This was the next day, Cloé needed to get some plants to complete her new home. She is a discerning yet stylish shopper, and wore good colours for the occasion.

This one was almost a winner. Almost. 

A random building detail. 

One guy, when Cloé asked if he had a certain type of flower, led her to the dirt section. 'Really? You want me to pay 8 Euros for this?' Je ne comprend pas!

  1. Very entertaining post, as was Derbyshire...

    Your sister's flat is adorable (said in French accent since my keyboard doesn't do it for me!)
