Le pinceau était le dernier accessoire plus ou moins irremplaçable qui me
manquait. Voilà qui est réparé. Les poils viennent d'un yak et ils sont
extrêmement doux. Le manche est en corne et décoré d'un morceau d'os. Je dois
bien avouer que l'os c'est pas ma tasse de thé, mais comme c'était le dernier
au magasin, je me suis laissé tenter. Il a encore un peu tendance à muer, mais
je suppose que ça se calmera avec le temps.

sont déjà plus si petits vont à la mer à leur tour pour se nourrir et
commencer un nouveau cycle.

“A rich, dark and mysterious ale brewed to the ancient recipe held secret at
Levens Hall for over 300 years.
The recipe for Morocco Ale is believed to date from Elizabethan times. Every
May-time until 1877 the uniqye, dark, spiced Morocco Ale, matured for 21
years, was served at a great feast held in Levens Gardens, Cumbria. The guests
were requred to stand on one leg and empty in a draught a tall Constable glass
filled with ‘Morocco’
whilst pledging to the ancient house – ‘`Luck to Levens
whilst t’Kent flows.” ''
Quite sweet, with a slight metallic smell, and a slightly bitter after taste.
The taste reminds me of some kinds of ginger breads, of cinnamon. After a
while, I noticed that the smell reminds me a bit of Cola. Contains malted
barley and wheat.
Daleside Brewery Ltd, Harrogate, Yorkshire, England. 5.5% alcohol.

Pas de format standard, j'ai trouvé des cartes en largeur 55-57 mm et d'autres
en largeur 63 mm. La hauteur est 84-89 mm.
En formats ISO approchants, on a:
- A8 = 52 x 74 mm
- C8 = 57 x 81 mm
- B8 = 62 x 88 mm
Le B8 à l'air sympathique, mais d'ici à trouver une imprimante qui accepte du
format B…

Diplomatic Immunity was published in 2002 by Lois McMaster-Bujold.
While on their way back home from their honey moon, Miles, accompanied by
Ekaterin, is sent to Graf Station in Quaddie-space to diplomatically solve an
incident involving soldiers from a Barrayaran ship escorting a Komarran
transport. On the station, Miles meets his old friend Bel Thorne, who is
working as an official there as well as an ImpSec agent under cover. Bel helps
Miles in his attempt to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the
Barrayaran ship's security officer, which is the source of the whole mess.
Miles' attention is soon attracted by a mysterious Betan hermaphrodite, using
the Komarran transport to carry a thousand foetuses in uterine replicators.
Just after meeting it, Miles, Bel and the herm barely escape an attack by a
mysterious person. The perpetrator is found later, and happens to be a
smuggler who helped the herm to transport the uterine replicators from one
ship onto the Komarran transport. The herm poisoned his crewmates, and the
smuggler seeks revenge. Miles then discovers that the Betan herm is actually
a Cetagandan Ba who has stolen a part of the yearly production of Cetagandan
made by the Star Creche. His goal was to create his own empire with him as an
emperor. Miles manages to prevent a war between Cetaganda and Barrayar, where
the Ba had planted fake evidence of Barrayar's involvment in the plot.
Eventually, Miles and Ekaterin go back home, just in time to witness the birth
of their children.

From Wikipedia:
King Arthur is recruiting his Knights of the Round Table throughout England.
He is frustrated at every turn by anarcho-syndicalist peasants, a Black Knight
that refuses to give up despite losing both his arms and legs, and guards that
are more concerned with the flight patterns of swallows than their lord and
master. Finally he meets up with Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the
Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure (also called "the Chaste"), Sir Robin the
Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot, and "the aptly named Sir
Not-Appearing-In-This-Film", and declares them the Knights of the Round Table.
They are given a quest by God to find the Holy Grail.
After they split up, Sir Robin encounters a Three-Headed Giant, Galahad runs
across the perils of Castle Anthrax, Sir Lancelot massacres a wedding at Swamp
Castle, and Arthur and Bedevere encounter the dreaded Knights who say Ni. They
each overcome their individual perils and reunite to face a bleak and terrible
winter. Surviving the winter by eating Sir Robin's minstrels, they venture
further to a pyromaniac enchanter named “Tim”, who takes them to a cave
guarded by a killer rabbit.
After killing the vicious Rabbit of Caerbannog with the Holy Hand Grenade of
Antioch, the knights face The Legendary Black Beast of Aaargh, and cross the
Bridge of Death that is guarded by “the old man from Scene 24”. Arthur and
Bedevere survive to arrive at Castle Aaargh, and face the French Taunter once
more. The film ends abruptly when a group of police from the 1970s interrupt
the climactic battle scene to arrest Bedevere and King Arthur for the murder
of Frank, the “famous historian”.

Seppälän Citymarketista löysin Pirkan Parmankinkkua ja Snellmanin
Parmankinkkua. Snellmanin on melkein kaksi kertaa kalliimpi kuin Pirkan, mutta
se on parempimakuinen, pehmeampi ja hedelmäinen. Pirkan tuote maistuu
metalliseltä ja se on sitkeä. Se sisältää myös vähän enemmän suolaa ja
rasvaa.

machines agricoles à Montauban. Sa petite vie tranquille va basculer lorsque
son ami d'enfance, le Mexicain, un gangster notoire, de retour à Paris,
l'appelle à son chevet. Celui-ci, mourant, confie à Fernand, avant de
s'éteindre, la gestion de ses « affaires » ainsi que l'éducation de sa petite
Patricia, au mécontentement de ses troupes et sous la neutralité bienveillante
de maître Folace (Francis Blanche) son notaire, qui ne s'émeut pas trop de la
querelle de succession à venir. Fernand Naudin doit affronter les frères
Volfoni Raoul et Paul qui ont des visées sur les affaires du Mexicain : un
tripot clandestin, une distillerie tout aussi clandestine, une maison close,
etc. Fernand tente de faire rentrer les Volfono dans le rang, mais les
attentats contre sa vie se multiplient malgré la paix signée entre les Volfoni
et lui. On découvre rapidement que c'est le responsable de la distillerie
clandestine qui tire les ficelles, et Fernand finit par s'en débarasser, en
même temps qu'il marie Patricia et confie la gestion des « affaires » au
père du marié, vice-président du Fonds Monétaire International.

Un roman historique de Bernard Fischbach publié en 2002.
Gutenberg rentre à Strasbourg après avoir passé près d'un an à Avignon où il a
rencontré un maître du poiçon, dans l'espoir de résoudre ses problèmes liés à
la mise au point de l'imprimerie. À son retour, il apprend que son associé,
Lorentz Beildeck a disparu sans laisser de traces, son logement a été saccagé
et un menuisier avec lequel il avait travaillé est mystérieusement assassiné
juste avant que Gutenberg ne puisse le rencontrer. Gutenberg reçoit des fioles
contenant du sang humain, probablement celui de son associé en guise
d'avertissement. Il finit par apprendre que Beildeck est un hussite (de Jean
Hus, réformateur d'avant la Réforme), dont la communeauté ne cesse de grandir
à Strasbourg et dont les membres sont pourchassés par l'Inquisition. Cette
dernière s'est associée avec la corporation des enlumineurs et copistes pour
tenter d'empêcher l'avênement de l'impression, dont la plupart des acteurs
sont justement des hussites. Parmi les inquisiteurs se trouvent un espion du
roi de France qui parvient à les convaincres de ne pas exécuter sommairement
Beildeck, mais ce dernier est finalement retrouvé mort par Gutenberg,
probablement assassiné par la corporation des copistes. Dépité, Gutenberg
quitte Strasbourg et retourne à Mayence pour continuer son travail et
finalement imprimer sa première Bible.

A Civil Campaign has been published in 1999 by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Gregor's wedding is coming soon. Mark comes back from Beta through Escobar
with a new friend, a mad scientist who has invented butter bugs, eating any
kind of organic waste and producing both human-edible food and compost.
Meanwhile Miles tries to court Ekaterin without her knowledge (because she is
still in mourning) and invites her to a family dinner. The dinner turns into a
nightmare when the guests are told they are eating bug butter based food,
while the mad scientist tells the Koudlekas about their daughter's
relationship with Mark, followed by Illyan asking loudly to Miles how long he
has been courting Ekaterin, and ends with Miles proposing accidentally
to Ekaterin. Ekaterin storms out just when Miles' parents are coming back from
Sergyar earlier than expected. Meanwhile, two political schemes are going on
within the counts for the control of two Districts, and one faction starts
rumors about Miles' role in the death of Ekaterin's husband on Komarr. Some
amount of scheming and one deceased count's sister changing gender surgically
in order to become a legal male heir later, Ekaterin proposes to Miles during
a session of the Counts' assembly in order to disprove Miles' responsibility in
the Komarr incident, and Gregor finally gets married.
