J’adore cette-ci!
Merci, Eva. Je dois reconnaitre que celle-ci évoque assez bien le côté trop pointilleux de certaines personnes.

Ha, that’s a good equivalent, Lisa’s daughter. Quite good, in fact. Thank you!
So funny that this is your post for today. I just spent four hours at the hairdresser with my youngest so can relate to the meticulous nature of that experience. But, while good for a hairdresser, as you point out, maybe not good for the rest of life. Weekends In Maine
That’s funny 🙂
Four hours is a lot, even for a meticulous hairdresser, right?
See you on your blog.
