HEY, what’s that guy doing? I think he’s trying to get a kiss from the other guy walking by. This is our local mime, doing very funny things behind peoples’ backs in the piazza. Kids adore him and try to make him laugh and chase them and he makes them swords out of balloons (with which they then attack him!). Great fun. I’ll bet he could imitate me really well. All he has to do is lie down and snore.
And mama takes pics of all sorts of corners of Rome that seem to have a story behind them. Here is one, with multi-coloured feathers and a wild-growing flower (that the donkeys in France adore but it doesn’t travel well…). Still, why those feathers? Must have been an extraordinary bird, haha.
And changing the subject, this is the little sweet pet turtle that the little grand-anthros have adopted and lives in the garden, pampered and loved. Here he has been given rachicchio leaves and is in seventh heaven. Because he loves to wander, they have had to build a little fence around his garden, hence his name: BOLT. Wonder what the real Bolt would think of this. Hey, the turtle and the hare… (OOPS. Forgot to put Bolt in the blog. Here he is.)
UH, OH, I’m outta here! Mama’s at it again! She must miss me really a lot to take a pic of THIS! (Why are they all so cute…?)
How fun to have a pet turtle! 😉 We had a pet toad in our garden…but he hopped away.
Those bad toads–they tend to do that. But maybe he caught some mosquitos first.
Ooooh – we love all our four-legged-friends – turtles, kitties, doggies (oops) and seems wild pigs have been spotted IN and around Nice! Not sure I’d like to run into one – but hey, live and let live. Unless they’re mosquitoes…… What a cutie-pie the little orangey one with the smushed face!!! Oops – but NOT as cute as YOU, Lady Loulou of Collioure!!!! Mama is giggling as she is thinking of the funny scene in the film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels – Lady Fanny of Omaha……hey, why NOT!!??
Lady Loulou….hmmmm….I like that! Thank you, M.
Great photos, thanks for sharing!
Have a super Sunday…
Noodle and crew
Yes, well, thanks for your very astute opinions!
There’s a turtle in one of the pix? We couldn’t find it. 🙁
He’s eating radicchio, a red and white lettuce. Maybe I had better check my blog!
It’s a great article loulou.I see you are having lots of fun! Give your mama thanks from me for these nice pics! And I would love if you meet with Boltu, my kitty!
Well, Boltu, HELLO. I just wrote your website to find out more about a cat carrier for me that is more comfortable than the one I have. Thank you.
That’s so nice of you!
But how to get one in FRANCE???
Amazon ships to France!
BUT for how much postage?
Umm i dont know exactly.. you may search in amazon to know the exact amount!
Will do.
LouLou, I see the pictures of the Mmime,the flowers and feathers, and the dog, but no turtle ! Did he get away after all ?
Uh, oh. Jan says the same thing. Will go check and if he’s not there, I’ll put him in! Thank you both. Must have been dreaming out the window…
He is a handsome turtle/tortoise ! Can he shut himself up in his own box ?
Oh, yes, he is very good at that. He is some sort of endangered species but I have to get the whole story.
