Marmalade Fly

Marmalade Fly Episyrphus balteatus

Today it is grey and as muggy as Mugtember the mugteenth at Mugington-on-Mug.

There is also a breeze, making the atmosphere quite sticky and cloying and also adds a difficulty to taking macro images.

We're just off to take honourable son N°1 to try and find a summer job as he has finished lycée until September *rolls eyes* - he is quite keen and has written and printed off a bunch of letters to present his motivation for a job... fingers crossed.

So here is a track by MC Solaar - he is a French rapper, who had most of his success in the 90's - now don't judge as this rap is quite easy to listen to and the way that he plays with words is pretty amazing - the guy is a wordsmith, nay, a poet.

If you can get a translation of this or even run the words through a translator it ill give you some idea of his talent - although a straight translation will not really bring out the skill that he puts into his word play - 'Les jeux de mots' in French.

Here is a song called Séquelles and you can see Charlotte Gainsbourg in the video - enjoy
