howdie folks !
today we visited Cyril and his wonderful collection
we had a great time going through the various displays
many photos and vdo's done: the highlight happened at the end
of the afternoon, when we looked at one of jeremy's "optical" lego tops
(the one with a special black and white pattern)
through a 19th century ancestor of a stromboscope
used to see animated images
there was also this incredible top in which the optical effect is electricaly powered by a bottle
containing a mix of acids to create an electrolyse !
much much fun with cyril who truly is a mix of a gentleman and a child
later we had a pastry time with homemade apple pie , lemon pie ,strawberry cake/mousse and génoise
cyril's wife belongs to the "cordon bleu" trend :-)for that matter
we couldn't go without jose doing a relampago-top routine and now he has left a top in cyril's display
all in all , despite the fact that we missed Wilson at the meeting point,
it was worth the drive : on the way back , in the middle of traffic congestion,
we suddenly heard the "toupie-tambour" number by Didier and hadouk trio
no wonder , it happened to be ready in my cd payer just in case
tomorrow , hanging around in paris , goodbye-farewell dinner plannned with Jose and Jeremy
last question i heard in the car: who is going to be the next special guest in marines ?
the answer is still spinning in the air .....
and it needs mermouille , emmanuel , ludo and I to recover a bit before we agreed on new adventures
and ink it
à piu tardè
