It’s time for a #change, now, François #Hollande says … but when is #France gonna go #Forward ?

Many people think, that it is time for some change in France. The kind of changes, that Germany and other European countries have accomplished over the last 10 years, and that all Club Meds except Greece and France have started 2 or 3 years ago.

Frenchonomics : who buys what (from whom) in #France ?

As the socialists have taken over Elysée Palace, Matignon Hotel and several other prestigious old buildings in Paris and other big French cities, Qatar buys CAC40 and what pays off fast (tax-free) whilst China buys what may help its exports to Europe.

What is for sure, is that the French themselves are not exactly in an investing mood, and don’t have very deep pockets to keep their jewels, these days.

World Serious Games Begin, Now in London (and Euroland) : Beware the Brits (and Others) !

The French have enjoyed  some “Divines Surprises” for a while, with more gold medals than any other European nation at the Games and low interest rates on international markets in spite of the loss of their AAA and the victory of their socialists.

Pourvu que ça dure (as long as it lasts) …

#Euro Boys … Much Talk, Little Work, Summer Job in London … and Frankfurt

Mario Draghi is a good (banker ?) player. Nobody really knows what game he is playing at the moment, but all the big guys seem very enthusiastic about it. Or almost all the big guys. Because Angela Merkel recommends more work and less talk.

A Good Laugh a Day, Keeps the Doctor Away from the Red Carpet … at least a Couple of Days

Unexpectedly enough, French athletes are ahead of all Europeans as regards gold medals, second only to China and the US. Let’s laugh as long as it lasts. More unbelievable, Euro-ptimists smile at the moment. Let’s cross fingers and hope it lasts.

Some additional e-reading may be needed about this strange world as it goes, this bizarre Europe as it slows and this amazing France as it rows. (Please click on pictures).

You are what you … read

Smart cats don’t eat, neither read crap, even on summer holiday. The good news is, whatever remote place for their holiday has now either electricity, or solar power available for cooking and reading (with exception of certain no-wifi areas overseas).

Some e-reading smart cats are Kindle addicts. Whatever works, as long as they are happy.

    

Some smart e-reading cats are somewhat more oldschool and prefer traditionnal sofa reading and “pdf” because it looks more familiar and can easily be printed (or they just like the French Youscribe MarketPlace). Whatever works, as long as they are happy.

               
               
         
           
      
Some cats, stay or fat, are Facebook, or coffee addicts. Whatever works, as long as they are happy with what they read …

Olympic Games in London are good, but Jubilee comes more often in the UK. Fortunately enough …

London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony

Sir Winston Churchill, once asked how he was so fit in his old age, answered : “No sport, never”. Her Majesty cannot say all what she thinks, but it might well be the same. Though she is more “rock n’ roll” than the old lion. Anyway, God Save the Queen.

Let’s enjoy #Paris Beach this Summer
