Splendid show of Hot-air balloons in Metz - Photos of September 1st, 2008

The weather forecast was uncertain, however we nevertheless ran the risk of going to Metz late in the afternoon, to attend the first takeoff of Montgolfiades, which will take place all week long from the man-made lake.

Chance was with us! In spite of some drops accepted on the motorway, we arrive just in time to know the decision of the organizers: hot-air balloons can fly.:-D Great! (Do not hesitate to extend the photos of a click, they will be less dark.) les montgolfières peuvent voler. :-DChouette ! (N’hésitez pas à agrandir les photos d’un clic, elles seront moins sombres.)

The crews leave fast the tent of the briefing to put on in place on the lawn of the man-made lake (where was held the concert of Calogero, two days ago!) (read continuation …) (Lire la suite…)

Music blow of heart: Moriarty, a group without borders, between folk music, blues and country

I want to speak to you about a group today discovered by the biggest of chances. It was one evening of July, in Metz, while we wander in the city with mates We had the ear attracted by a music coming from a bar. My friend asked the occupiers what they listened to: it was about Moriarty. Mon amie a demandé aux occupants ce qu’ils écoutaient : il s’agissait de Moriarty.

However, Google had not been able to help me because I was unaware of the precise orthography of the name. I had therefore despaired of finding this group, until my husband falls again over, some days ago, by the biggest of chances.:-D Here is what I can say to you about this group: :-DVoici ce que je peux vous dire de ce groupe :

Formed in 1995, Moriarty regroups musicians who predominantly grew in France. (Read continuation …)

Album youth: Vavache - Volume 1: Plif! Plaf! Splash! (V. Vertonghen and C. From Brab) Tome 1 : Plif ! Plaf ! Plouf ! (V. Vertonghen et C. De Brab)

In September mark literary return, then to me here is back for presentations of books youth. Today, I chose an album full of humour and colours, in the spare illustrations of the superfluous, which make easier understanding.

A necessary legibility of pictures, since this album is a book without words.

Indeed, no text in this first volume of Vavache. Not even the slightest onomatopoeia. This album encourages the children in a real reading of pictures to grab the tide of history. But in the fact, what tells us therefore this book? (Read continuation …) Cet album incite les enfants à une réelle lecture d’images pour saisir le sens de l’histoire. Mais au fait, que nous raconte donc ce livre ? (Lire la suite…)

It is the return of the teachers (and also for my blog): good return to the teachers!

I come to wish a good school year to all teachers, notably those of primary who are going to have to a lot reorganise themselves because of the very recent reform of the primary school.

Of the support to be set up, courts to be reorganised on 4 days this promises meetings and debates …

Then, good courage and good return to all and to all.

For my part, it is in a way a return also, since my small man took back the way of job after 15 days of leaves. I am going to use it to take back the habitual course of my blog, and to offer you again, in parallel of exits in Lorraine (who got from me a lot of time in August!), books youth, poems, karaokés, and information of every sort and kind (music, games, design, cinema). (Read continuation …)qui m’ont pris beaucoup de temps en août !), des livres jeunesses, des poésies, des karaokés, et des infos de toutes sortes (musique, jeux, design, ciné…). (Lire la suite…)
