J'essaie de rattraper mon retour : ces photos datent de fin juillet !

Marseille. Encadrés par une œuvre de Bruno Catalano, les Docks de Marseille et, derrière le Silo, l'ensemble des tours de la Joliette (la tour CMA-CGM de Zaha Hadid, la tour La Marseillaise de Jean Nouvel et la Porte Bleue)

Lovely ladies, going for a song. Got a lot of callers but they never stay for long.

New OS on my AO3 : a blue coat on the docks

I wrote that when I had covid last month and posted it last week just because... I miss NewTina too much.

It’s a 100% self indulgent first kiss short story, from my blue universe (but can be read alone). Self-indulgence also means, I'm afraid, almost no dialogs. A short snippet for you :

It felt like a dream. A gentle haze full of sparkles. As in slow motion, they ran to meet in the middle. The sound produced by the case, when it hit the ground, could have –almost– provoked an earthquake in their world as the moment seemed so strong, intense, expected. Perfect. 

Their bodies, their hearts, slowly, tuned to fuse with the other, beating in unison, the stress fading drop by drop, replaced by a soft felicity, a steady certainty. The charleston, bit by bit, turned into a repetitive, reliable, anchored clinking from a well-adjusted clock. 

Motionless in the middle of the hurried people's incoming tide, they looked at each other, for a long time, their eyes misted as if they still saw –and tasted– the sea, their smiles gleaming.

“I missed you.”

And, just like that, they were wrapped one around the other, in a liberating cuddle. Mint answered to orange blossom, their respective heats making them forget about the winter’s biting cold, their breaths shortened by emotion, their hands stoking the coarse wool from their coats.

They wanted for it to last forever

This may be the 20th time I've restarted trying to set up my skyrim mod list

next time I need to figure out 19th c nautical terms in English I'm finding an English version of The Ship Orion

Hugo's description of the evolution from wind-powered to steam-powered ships makes me curious though

afaik wind-powered ships stayed in use for a significant amount time after the invention of steam-powered ships because ships can stay in use for a significant amount of time and making new ships is quite costly. the pivot to the new technology is going to be fairly gradual and the failure of some smaller harbour towns to pivot to steam is a large part of the reason they became insignificant factors in maritime trade

I'm not sure on the dating on that though and I'm realising that it was probably earlier than I've been imagining it. For example, my great-great-grandfather disappeared on a sailing ship during WW1 and I'd failed to consider that though it was a sailing ship it must have been a hybrid steam one, given the dating

Wilderun / Soilwork / Kataklysm à Lausanne

Aujourd'hui sur Blog à part – Wilderun / Soilwork / Kataklysm à Lausanne Oui, je sais que c’est un mardi, mais le fait que Wilderun passe enfin en Suisse écrase toutes les considérations. Donc go Les Docks de Lausanne! #concert #progmetal #deathmetal

Oui, je sais que c’est un mardi, mais le fait que Wilderun passe enfin en Suisse écrase toutes les considérations logistiques et autres. Y compris le fait qu’ils sont en première partie de Soilwork, que je connais mal et Kataklysm, que je ne connais pas du tout. Et c’est donc parti pour les Docks de Lausanne. Je décanille pour arriver à l’ouverture des portes a 18 h 30. Ça commence tôt, mais si…

Interior and Backyard Revamp: Dock Den (the Bro flat)

SIZE: 30x20 BEDROOM: 2 BATHROOM: 1 COST: 99,114 PACKS: High School Years, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle*, City Living*, Get Together*, Parenthood, Yoga, Dream Home Decorator, Home Chef Hustle*, Tiny Living*, Toddlers, Fitness, Bowling Night, Perfect Patio, Everyday Clutter*, Bathroom Clutter*. The main ones have * next to them - the rest you could easily sub. PLAYTESTED: Yes. No issues, but I'd recommend having a L3+ Handiness Sim upgrade the springs on the Murphy Bed unless you want a Ghost Bro. GALLERY ID: hayley247

New and improved (?) Bro Flat. Didn't touch the gardens, as they were much better than what I could do - or the bones of the house much. Mainly I just made it look a little more modern with a slight sustainability angle - because that's cool now, okay?

Warning - could just not get those top Home Chef Hustle cabinets to line up. I'm blaming my mouse.

Now with karaoke. If you hear Joaquin singing, you won't thank me. Not that I'm any better.

Maxine (who kindly helped me playtest the place) is actually pretty good though.

Maxine saving Joaquin from a possible Grim Reaper visit by upgrading the springs on the Murphy Bed. You can even use the dance floor when it's down, as poor Joaquin found out when she spontaneously started an one woman rave (sorry bro).

My token "look guys I tried" shot of the ensuite.

Cutaway view from the front. Also there's a smol wicked whims type Easter Egg in Sergio's bedroom (I couldn't help myself) just in case you'd rather not have it there. What, he has allergies, and the air is so dry around this time of year...

Marseille | Verkenningstocht Le Panier

Woensdag, 31 juli 2019 | Onze laatste dag in Marseille. Vroeg op – om 6:00 uur – om de zonsopgang in de haven van Marseille te fotograferen. Op dat tijdstip was er al veel bedrijvigheid rondom de Vieux-Port. Elektrische steps werden klaargezet, mensen wachtten op het openbaar vervoer en vissers maakten hun netten gereed. Onze hoofdbestemming voor vandaag is Le Panier, het oudste deel van…
