Cooking : The sushi workshop

En français
It has been like forever since the last time I wrote a cooking post.
Well that one is a bit different from the others as it's not about recipe or a diet as usual but about a class.
Yesterday evening we went to my favorite Japanese restaurant in Belfast "The ginger tree" to have a sushi workshop. That was Sebastien's Christmas present. Two hours of making sushi with chef Taro explaining us everything and showing us how to roll the sushi and add the ingredient, followed buy a dinner at the end of which we could ask questions.
We also learn a bit more about Japanese sushi due to chef Taro's little quiz. Seriously if you are in Belfast don't hesitate to go for a workshop it seriously worth it.

At the end of the evening we went back home with our box of sushi each and the sushi mate we had been using. Don't they look so delicious ?

JanNoWriMo challenge : "Attic Mirror" part 4

This is the fourth part of Attic Mirror. The writing is going fine, though maybe a bit slower than I would want. Still nothing to frighten the accomplishment of the challenge. I find myself unable to write at sometimes when I wanted to and at some other I'm so inspired that I can write 4000 or 5000 words in a row, sometimes more. I tend to use write or die a lot as a time boxing tool. It really help me to concentrate on a particular part of the story.
I also discovered that I'm putting references to Demon Soul in the story which is normal as some of the characters belong to both novel. I would advice you to start with reading Demon Soul first if you haven't done it yet. Even if it's not necessary to the good comprehension of the novel it could give you more details about some of the characters back ground.

Iceland : Glymur, Reykjavík, the end.

En français
In the morning we take a shower smelling egg because the water is coming from the source Deildartunguhver we have visited yesterday, and it's full of Sulfur.
We take the road of the fjord Hvalfjörður to go to the waterfall Glymur that we reached after a bit of hiking.
This hiking is pretty cool, we go to a small cave, cross a river on a wooden bridge, e walk and climb along the canyon to arrive at the top of the waterfall. It is the tallest waterfall in the country, 196m high and born from the river Botnsá.
At the top there are a lots of birds nests.
We then finish our tour of Iceland in Reykjavík that we visited a bit before going back to the airport.

JanNoWriMo challenge : "Attic Mirror" part 3

Here is the part 3 of Attic Mirror. As you can see you have here the worth of several days of work. Since the last part I had few days when I had difficulty to reach my general word goal of 2500 words but I'm catching up a bit as the novel gets a bit better planed.
I'm still happy with my word count so far and also with the new character I introduced that wasn't planed at all.
I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
