First Guests

It has been a while since we visited Les Halles de Lyon. This notable food hall is a wonderful example of why Lyon has its reputation for food.

I have always appreciated The English Space’s clean and clear feel. The lack of animated images, bright colours, and stock photography make it stand out from the horde of other English language sites. I was keen to preserve this hallmark.

Drip, Drip, Dripping

Within seconds, the hidden drips emerged becoming a pitter-patter of water cascading down from the tiles onto my desk. Water falling just above an array of power cables, sockets, and electrics.

Lyon at Night

Last night we ventured out around ten o’clock. The temperature had dropped to 30°C and the air was absolutely dry with no breeze. I took my camera and we went for an amble.

Prototype One

My first 3D print arrived this week and I was ecstatic. The small widget arrived in an unassuming padded envelope. Inside was a receipt and a snap lock bag containing my printed design.

My First 3D Print

I ordered my first printed object this afternoon. That I can design an object, have it manufactured, and delivered all without leaving my desk is incredible.

Parc des Célestins

For four months we lived within a hundred metres of this hidden gem. Only after seeing a programme on arte did we realise what was hidden so close below our feet.

Going to Seed

Where once there was a small field of bright red poppies, now the field has turned to shades of white and grey. The poppies are going to seed.

Less Human

I was lucky. Through asking around on forums I was given a recommendation of an English speaking dentist in Lyon. Dr. Alexandre Baroud’s web site makes no mention of being a polyglot – maybe speaking three languages is not so note worthy here – but he speaks excellent English and is surprisingly used to English speaking patients.

Geneva At Long Last

It had been too long since I last visited Geneva. Megan and I visited our friends in Geneva for the first time in many years this weekend.
