 1) How did you start your day today?

This morning I woke up in the mood to listen to some music. This happens sometimes and in general, I choose an artist on Apple Music and then I redo their entire repertoire!

Today it was George Brassens starting with "Les Copains D’abord" 😊.

 2) Do you have any morning rituals?

You should know that I am not a morning person, every morning is a struggle between myself and the outside world to delay my getting out of bed ... The rest of the world too often wins!

Then, the people around me hug the walls so as not to cross me until 11 am-12pm and then I become very happy, dynamic and sociable again ... Call me bipolar!

3) What music would you choose for the day today and why?

Now that my George Brassens phase is over (LOL), I'm going to tackle some Disco / Pop that gives the potato! I decided to do a spring cleaning in my parents' cars where I am for the week, I need some energy… Rose Royce or the Bee Gees will do!

 

 4) What made you happy the last time?

At the risk of sounding sentimental (which I totally am), I'm happy every time my son smiles - I'm a mom to baby Leonard who is 3 months old today. He is my sunshine department ! 

5) Where is the best place you've been and why?

I would say India, where I did my master's degree almost 7 years ago ... I remember a fascinating and mystical country! First of all, I took the slap of my life when I arrived at the Taj Mahal - for me it is the most beautiful place in the world. I still remember the thrill I felt as I walked through the arcades, it was like a mirage of calm and serenity rare in this overcrowded country (and world). Then at the same time, I became passionate about the Hindu religion with its shrines, rites and altars in honor of Ganesh, Krishna, etc. On the other hand, I was shocked by the inequality with which people are treated there - sometimes worse than street animals.

 6) Your current obsession?

My 30th birthday coming up!

I'm throwing a huge two-day party in the Landes forest, 70 confirmed guests and we'll all be in Disney-themed disguise. Between the organization of sleeping arrangements, meals and above all, my disguise (hint, she's was born in Agrabah), I am not idle!

7) Who would be your ideal dinner guest and why?

 

I would love to dine with Queen Elisabeth II!

I am passionate about the English royal family and particularly the Queen, she has adapted to the different eras she has lived through to preserve the monarchy from disuse. She lived almost the entire 20th century, dark times in our history and major changes in eras, so it would be really interesting to talk to her. I find her really nimble, modern and cute, I have always loved the elderly LOL
