Now Playing: Je t'aimais, je t'aime, et je t'aimerai - Francis Cabrel
Topic: Music/Lyrics
I’m a nice shade of lobster these days, as in…ouch! Oh I remembered to apply sunscreen to my child, but not on myself. And 5 hours in an open field at 35 º C heat + a UV of scorching hot+ not wearing a hat= uh yeah dumb dumb, that would kind of be asking for it!
Hell of a way to get a tan, only I sort of just turn a reddish-brown hue (must be my Algonquian bloodline).
Past few days have been very hot, the air has been humid and thin, but the evenings are still thankfully refreshing, especially if you sleep naked…which I don’t. heh!
Anyway, our town won the soccer tournament in 3 of the 4 division.Yay! I guess you could say we were kickin!
Kids were totally exhausted after 3 games in that sizzling sun, but happy none the less.
And, as predicted, it took exactly 3 days to hear the “I’m bored’s” now that soccer is over for the season. So I thought I’d put the boy to good use and bring him strawberry picking with me yesterday. Turns out he’s not much of a picker, he’s more of an eater, and with him just sitting between the rows pitching berries at me, I was getting more flustered by the minute, so I made quick work of it.
We (I mostly) did manage to pick about 20 lbs of berries though, which I then had to clean, bag & freeze, but *yummers* it sure is worth the effort!
I’ve got some cleaning I want to get done in the next week, because I’m having some ladies over next Friday for a little get-together (my turn to host) and I need to plan my menu, then shop for it, and somehow squeeze all of that in between physical therapy appointments with the boy and orthodontist appointment with the wee’er boy. At least we’re not running 3 evening/week for soccer games now, so it should be a breeze! ;)
Needless to say, I’ve not had time for any artwork…and speaking of which…Only 3 weeks till my watercolour class! *insert girlie sq* oh yeah, there may be a problem with that…the boy’s is on “the list” for his 4th surgery, scheduled ‘at the end of July’. :(
I’m sorta keeping my fingers crossed though, because we all know how those waiting lists for surgery generally go…but you know, knowing my luck, ‘end of July’ will actually MEAN the end of July.
*sigh* and it’s paid for and everything, it’d be a damn shame to have to miss it.

Darn YouTube, I get sucked in every time! I went looking for some Francis Cabrel and found this one that’s left me feeling a bit melancholy.

Francis Cabrel - Je Te Suivrai
Y'a plusieurs mètres d'eau dans les rues de ma peine
Plusieurs tonnes de boue dans le flot de mes veines
La rivière charrie les fils de téléphone
Avec encore dedans mes appels qui résonnent
La pluie a délavé tous les mots que j'invente
Les oiseaux ont crié pour pas que tu m'entendes
Aux endroits où tu étais y'a des morceaux de glace
Et des arbres en travers pour pas que je passe
Où tu iras je te suivrai
Je te suivrai...
Même quand tu auras fermé ta centaine de portes
Même quand tu auras pleuré pour les enfants d'un autre
Même quand tu auras éteint ce qui brûlait de mieux
Même si tu pars plus loin que ne portent mes yeux
Où tu iras je te suivrai
Je te suivrai...
Même au plus profond du silence
Je t'entends encore me dire
On s'approche du ciel
Nos livres fermés se balancent
J'veux pas tomber tout seultomber tout seul
J'veux pas tomber tout seul
Si tu veux j'aimerai même ceux qui te touchent
Ceux qui ont le goût de toi encore plein la bouche
Même ceux que tu hais, même ceux que tu aimes
Il y a tellement d'eau dans les rues de ma peine...
Où tu iras je te suivrai
Où tu iras...
Je t'entends encore me dire
On s'approche du ciel
J'veux pas tomber tout seultomber tout seul
J'veux pas tomber tout seul
Il a neigé partout aux rebords des fenêtres
De cette ville floue ne plus te connaître
Encore combien d'hivers passeront sous ma porte
Avant qu'un jour j'ose dire que j'aime quelqu'un d'autre.
This is another one of my Cabrel favorites…
