let's start again

blogging is not as easy at it seems. there's always something else that needs to be done. i suppose one needs to acquire a certain rythm, and then it will flow by itself. my major problem is that i want a colorful blog, full of pictures. only, i don't remember to take those pictures when i should. so i went back to my store of photos, and selected one to start with. since deciding where to start can be a bit tricky, i'll play it safe and talk about the weather ;) right now it's raining. but for all of you who still think that south of france means tropical climate i have this:

this is our second floor terrasse about 2 months ago. alright, it didn't last long. nothing to compare with the finnish winter. but still, we did have some snow.
