In trying to write this blog in English I hope finally able to start jabber a few words in this language. I will mobilise various tools for that my text be in accordance with the rules of grammar and spelling. Thanks for your corrections and comments.

Rejoice! On the new moon, our friend Momo comes out from the dark! :-)
Doreus, yes, I've al least this cadence to keep. This blog in english is my discipline, my therapy, my contact with the world.
Big Hug !
Bienvenido dear Momo!
the moon is always your partner :)
I loved Doreus comment...
don't stay away from this space -your space- for too long.
Abrazo
The new moon is rising. Momo returns to us and it is the feast.
:o)
and <:-}
Te estaría faltando la Blue moon de los Platters ponte tú, y la Pink moon de Nick Drake! Saludos...
Dear Lilian,
Sorry for the late of answer (you know why).
Currently, my life is in process of changing, big changes (intensive university resume, slight improvement of my health, etc) and, I must admit, it's a bit confuse (with many doubts).
Thanks you for your visit.
Abrasote, besote.
Krn,
:^)
MARILYN,
QUE AGRADO!!!
How are you my friend ?
Hum.... suena como la letra de una cancion hip hop, asi dice :
Te estaría faltando
la Blue moon
de los Platters
ponte tú,
y la Pink moon
de Nick Drake!
Gracias por compartir aqui todas las canciones con moon.
Beso dulce
Momo,
For you, a song written by Guy de Maupassant, "chanson du rayon de lune"
Have a fine day.
Really, the moon is an inexhaustible subject.
Thank you, krn, it's a very delicat gift.
On va vous faire une véritable collection, Momo.
Voici le conte "les trois arbres et la lune"
Il m'a bien plu, c'est une très belle histoire d'amitié.
C'est un joli conte, krn, et qui ne semble pas avoir été écrit en 2003, mais à une époque lointaine et légendaire.
Bise
It is a real pleasure to converse with you, Momo.
Thank you for your opened mind and your intelligence.
un abrazo, ahora que sé lo que es, gracias a Lilian.
Hello Friends!
I heard my name :)
KNR what do you know thanks to me? Were you referring to the meaning of "un abrazo"?
Good luck in your study dearest Momo and Abrazos for everybody--
And while the moon, unfazed, continues her incessant orbiting, our voices mix on these virtual pages. And we learn from one another.
These chats are indeed very pleasant and bring spice to my day.
Lilian, you must have very powerful ears...
¡Abrazos a todos!
... and before we know it, it's going to be the full moon again, offering itself for our amazement, wherever we may be in the world!
What am I going to write if Doréus says exactly what I think?
Yes, Lilian, by reading your expressions, I grow rich, and making it, I get closer to you all to the point that I envisaged to translate my post " triskell " on which Cacho de Pan came.
French is a difficult language, this barrier prevents the other bloggers from understanding. Lilian's blog is a good example of solidarity to two communities.
Doreus-- your words are so beautiful! They are poetic... I used to have better "ears" :) Seriously! I used to play guitar only "by ear"...
KNR-- I am so glad and honored that you've learned something through this via of communication! I would love to know French, and I admire people like you, Doreus, and Momo who can communicate in this language.
-------------
I am starting to feel as we were all in some kind of Moon Reverence Club :D
-------------
Saludos Momo!!
Lilian, I sometimes look at your blog and I find admirable that you translate it.
I already invited myself at Dorés in Alberta to leave comments, now, I believe that I am going to write atLlilians's space too.
Let's thank Momo who allowed us to meet us under the moon
Krn, it's a pleasure for me too.
From "Moon Reverence Club" :-)
Wow ! Doreus, you are inspired !!!
I'm agree with Lilian, your last comment is very sensitive, and funny (I think above all at the "powerful ears", wouahaa).
Hello dear Lilian,
Mouac and b-E-S-I-K-I-S
Hello Momo!
Muac Muac
Hey, Doreus, décidemment, tu déchires !
J'ai écouté ta conférence (sans rien comprendre) !!!!
Mais mes hommages !
J'suis fan !
Rhaaaa lovely !
Je suis fier de toi !!!
Ça tue la mort !
PS : Ceci dit, je devrais en prendre de la graine, j'aurais de plus en plus à parler en public moi aussi, gla, gla, gla.
Toute la conférence, Momo ?
Moi j'ai décroché au bout de 20 mn.
En réalité, j'ai capté quelques phrsases, mais j'écoutais plus la musique que les paroles.
Très belle voix, en effet.
Il faut quand même être très passionné par le sujet pour pouvoir ainsi tenir plus d'une heure sans lasser son auditoire.
Il m'est arrivé de faire des exposés lorsque je fréquentais l'école des Beaux Arts, ils excédaient rarement les 40 minutes et j'y intégrais souvent des diversions pour "réveiller" un peu mon public.
Parler en public, c'est un entraînement, c'est la première fois qui est impressionnante, après, ça peut même devenir grisant.
Lilian, I didn't look for "Muac" in my dictionary.
Vous aussi, krn, vous êtes balaise en conférences ?
Je crois décidément que ce n'est pas ma vocation, car pour moi c'est une véritable hantise.
Non pas tant à cause du trac, sinon à cause des adp (parler en apnée, et avec une céphalée de tension en prime, c'est pas grisant)!
La dernière fois que j'ai dû faire ça, j'ai appris par coeur 40 minutes de prestation orale !
Muac est une onomatopée, pour dire smac (bec, bise, baiser).
Ce temps là est fini pour moi, Momo.
Les seules conférences que je donne ont pour témoins un couple de hérissons, quatre chats et quelques merles perdus dans mon jardin.
Je leur parle et parfois, je chante aussi, car si je n'ai pas une voix aussi posée et claire que Doréus, en revanche, je chante juste.
Je dois avouer que je me fais aussi quelquefois des spectacles dont je suis l'unique spectatrice. J'apprends un poême et je le récite comme si j'étais sur une scène avec 5000 spectateurs. Ensuite, si j'ai été bonne, je m'applaudis.
Un abrazo, muac (j'apprends vite, non ?)
Oui, très vite.
votre conférence pour les hérissons est absolument irrésistible, vous êtes adorable, krn.
Mais qui nous dit que Doreus ne parlait pas, lui aussi, à un auditoire de hérissons ?
Y a-t-il des hérissons sourds ?
J'espère que les miens m'entendent...
Sans rire, je trouve admirable ce combat de Doréus pour ce qui lui tient à Coeur.
Au fait, quel était le sujet de la conférence ?
By the way, what was the topic of his conference?
Vous pourriez faire comme Démosthène qui voulait se débarrasser de son bégaiement et allait parler devant la mer Egée avec des cailloux dans la bouche.
ça marche aussi avec un crayon serré entre les dents et ça donne une très bonne élocution.
Essayez avec cette phrase :
"Bébé a bavé sur son beau bavoir brodé" si vous ne bavez pas vous même, bravo, vous êtes un pro.
La surdité.
Effectivement, pas un mot...
ça me fait beaucoup rire.
Sorry Momo, I forgot to speak english. ça tue la mort...
I know this trick, but it removes the fear ?
http://journaldejogging.blogspot.com/2008/01/democritus.html
No, it is not for removing the fear, but I suppose that when we speak very well, it's easier to be relaxed.
I always admire the speakers who indeed speak. It is the case with Doréus. We feel him very well.
I didn't know that story with The eyes of Democrite.
I cant't prevent of laughing seeing your drawing.
Thank you very much for your advice, krn.
Yes, Doreus was amazing in this video.
we can be pride of him.
Good night.
Kiss
Thank you, Momo.
Have sweet dreams.
... I tried answering somewhere around comment #26... but I was at work and the computer was not cooperating. Anyway... here I am again (while you probably all are asleep).
Thank you all for the compliments. It was a fun lecture. And by the way, the suit was olive green; not powder blue as it looks on the video. I do have better fashion sense than that!
Plus I wanted to add (but at this point it refers to a comment way back up there) that as I was writing my last comment, I was thinking that we had become something of a "moon club". After the "Moonlight Sonata", the "Moon Bloggers..."
And KRN is right. public speaking comes with practice. I have not had hedgehogs to practice with (although my cats sometimes try to practice with me when I rehearse songs for the choir). I was lucky enough to be a tour guide when I was in university, so I have had long years of experience... And so I no longer feel any qualms at speaking in front of a group.
The fear left when I realised that, regardless of who may be there, I happen to know stuff they don't... and they're there to get that information. So I see myself more as a conduit than a performer. That may be why I do feel stage fright when I sing in choir, but not when I speak up alone in front of 200 people. And in any case, public speaking is a very big part of my job... every day!
Never tried the pencil method for elocution... but I laughed at KRN's sentence!
Rest well, all. I am having a quiet evening: all marking is done... until I receive another pile tomorrow!
The comment #26 ? Where does you see a number ?
I like the analogy with the tour guide, it's a good image.
Somehow, public speaking is like to be a tour guide.
I can't sleep :-(
Fais dodo, Momo mon p'tit frère, fais dodo, t'auras du lolo...
Sorry about your insomnia.
(-o zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
:-)
About the number of the comment, I just meant that the first time I tried to write my comment (which was much shorter then), if memory serves, there were 26 comments written.
And I sure hope you're sleeping as I write this.
Yes, finally I fell asleep, then I woke up, and now you are surely in process of sleep. Life is made of rhythm.
Day, night, day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,day, night, day, night, day, night,...
Momo, are you well?
The life is made by rhythms,inspire, expire, inspire, expire, etc. because to the last one expir, the life goes away, and nevertheless, the night falls and the day gets up.
I will quote Doreus in response :
"And while the moon, unfazed, continues her incessant orbiting, our voices mix on these virtual pages. And we learn from one another."
Good morning dear Krn, how are you ?
:-)
I am in my office and I see through the window, that the weather is cloudy.
I have some work, but I rather want to go to walk outside.
I think of the conference of Richard Gage in Geneva on November 11th.
This morning, Doréus has still treated us with a recipe of chocolate.
But speak to me, please Momo, about your guinea-hen with oranges.
Good morning, all! Yes, I was asleep, and now am (barely) awake. It is cloudy here too, as it has been in the past few days, which is rare. We haven't had significant rain for at least 2 months...
Abrazos! TGIF!
The night is already here and it rains.
Contrary to what you undergo in Alberta, in Normandy, the humidity is everywhere. 78 % of humidity at home. I have of to buy a device to dry up a little the air, it is now a little better, but if it continues to rain, it is a boat which I am going to buy.
You will laugh, the name of my village is "Barc"
hahahaha :D ... that's quite funny KRN! "My house is in a village called Barc where it rains all the time"... how appropriate.
To be very honest, I truly find all of you absolutely adorable. It's a pleasure to visit this blog and read all your comments; there is something in all of you that I cannot describe very well because I can't still pinpoint, but is something like a mix of old spirits, big hearts, honesty, and perhaps purity.
Abrazos---
Lilian, about the "Moon Reverence Club" ....
Hum... these are really cute words... you made me blush, and all hedgehogs too.
Krn, your village make me think at Chiloe island, in the south of Chile (not far to Antarctic), one of the wettest places in the world.
And, Doreus, Red Deer make me think at San Pedro de Atacama, one of the driest places in the world.
The guinea-hen with oranges ? Ho, just a very very good meal (and cheap) after the swim in the very cold water, with the sing of the duck in the background (I like definitely much the cry of duck).
Lilian, "old spirits" ? But we love all the new technology, or not ?
Krn, who's this Richard Gage ? Will you come here (trough the LHC' black hole) ?
Sorry Momo... I didn't mean to embarras you. What do you mean by "hedgehogs"?
Of course "new technology" dear Momo :)
Old kindred spirits united by new technology... Maybe KRN will be able to sort that one out. And yes, indeed, having a village named Barc in Normandy is quite funny.
Momo, the problem is that the groundwater is at three feet under the garden. When it is raining, I am taken in sandwich between two waters, the water of underground and the water of the sky.
Trees like very much. I don't.
I remove 1 liter of water a day from the dehumidifier.
Richard Gage
I would really very want to attend this conference. Regrettably, I do not believe that I shall have the possibility of it. November is a month mattering in funeral and it is difficult to me to be absent just before the beginning of the trade show on the 11/13.
I shall have certainly the text of the conference by Richard Gage's association. What I shall not have, it is the pleasure to see you at the edge of the lake.
Doréus, we also have one whose name is "Aviron"
Maybe we could envisage a collaboration.
You didn't embarras me, Lilian, probably it's a misunderstanding.
The imaginary hedgehogs in front of the Doreus' talk (read above).
Doreus, I agree, "old kindred spirits united by new technology"...
Krn, don't hesitate to take the LHC black hole, or the "barc" until Geneva. Today the weather was not bad, it was sunny.
Funeral ?
Momo,I know how you don't like this, but you know that I work with gravediggers and undertakers, it is my job.
But i am not sad.
If that damned black hole could take me off up to Genève, I would throw myself in it blindly.
On the other hand, I am afraid that my "barc" sinks before having raised the rhône and I do not remember any more where I stored my buoy with head of duck, nor the evening dress which goes with.
Laughing my head off! Love the duck-headed buoy! And the evening dress!
Digging graves so close to the water table must not be fun...
And imagine that: the sun came back to visit us today in Alberta. Still no rain... We will probably get snow soon.
And if Aviron were nearer Barc, maybe it could carry you over to the LHC wormhole... and then over to another dimension! Would that not be "out of this world"?
And I'm done my teaching week... I have a truckload of marking to do over the weekend, but will not be back in class until Wednesday. *Big sigh of relief!*
Doreus, I don't understand all that you say, but it seem that you are increasingly poetic.
Krn, I'm relieved that you feel glad, and that you have a large and pretty lime tree in your garden, even if you are in sandwich between the clouds up and the groundwater.
Did you like the poems about the rain in your blog ?
Yes, I like them. I like poetry.
I am glad, but quite nervous, this night. I cannot go to bed.
Momo, I have two lime trees. They are very close to my house. I live in their shadows.
I suppose that " truckload of marking " means a lot of work to annotate the work of the students.
Doréus will not go in class, but he must work at home.
Translation (sorry, that was a stream-of-consciousness comment):
Je me tords de rire! J'adore la bouée à tête de canard... et la robe de soirée!
Creuser des tombes si près de la nappe phréatique Ne doit pas toujours être amusant...
Imaginez-vous donc que le soleil est revenu nous visiter aujourd'hui en Alberta. Toujours pas de pluie... nous recevrons probablement de la neige bientôt.
Et si Aviron était plus près de Barc, peut-être pourrait-il vous transporter jusqu'au trou noir du LHC... et ensuite dans une autre dimension! Ne serait-ce pas extraordinaire?
Et j'ai terminé ma semaine d'enseignement... J'ai une tonne de correction à faire durant la fin de semaine, mais je n'ai pas à retourner en classe avant mercredi. *Grand soupir de soulagement!*
Doréus, I didn't digg any grave in my life. I just supply to those who do it their equipment.
What is not funny, it is that during the demonstrations, pits are practically always "occupied".
We do that job not only in Normandy, but in all the north-west of France.
Somehow, KRN, I did not picture you digging graves yourself. And I can imagine that in a country with a long history of human occupation like France, you must have some "surprises" digging graves.
No surprises, Doréus.
Only the rests of those who were forgotten.
When we are obliged to dig up, I pray so that this person found the peace.
Oblivion is the true death.
Very soon,
the full moon.
Demystify it, as we see it from the Earth, it's just a small balloon which goes into your tea spoon.
That's it, KRN. Now, you're the one taking the words from my mouth!
Thank you, krn, to remember the next full moon.
What do you mean about the spoon ?
Can you explain me in french ?
It enough some days without practice English for that my English go away.
By the way, Doreus, thank you for the translation.
I've not been enough time to answer you before.
De rien Momo. I understand. I feel the same way about Spanish some days: too much effort for my overworked brain.
KRN was making rhymes (rimes) with the sound "oon":
Translation (bête et littérale):
Très bientôt,
La pleine lune
Démystifiez-là, telle que nous la voyons de la Terre, elle n'est qu'un ballon qui va dans votre cuillère à thé.
And KRN, your verses make me swoon... See you soon! ;P
You are too kind :-)
Doréus, I have nothing to add, we perfectly understood.
Momo, you forget only for a moment, because your mind is busy somewhere else. What is learnt does not fade so fast.
For example, I thougt everything of the Castillan was forgotten, learnt to the school and never used since, I was sure not to be able to write more than "buenos dias" and nevertheless, reading you, Lilian, Tomas, Ale and Cacho de Pan, the words come back in my mind. Even if I often have a dictionary near me to read.
Momo, I allow to correct your sentence. Instead of "I've not been enough time to answer you before" You may say "I had not enough time to answer you before"
Have you still a lot of work ? can I help you ?
