| Heat wave, ouais, enfin bon, si on veut quoi... Le week-end dernier etait prevu sur Sydney la premiere grosse vague de chaleur -"Heat Wave"- de l'ete.
Alors effectivement il a fait chaud, tres chaud le Samedi apres-midi. 38 degres et une atmosphere tres humide... Mais c'est a peu pres tout ce qu'on a eu comme vague... Ensuite ca s'est degrade, dimanche des nuages et de la petite pluie (pluinette on va dire), Lundi pas mieux et aujourd'hui c'est toujours gris nuageux... Decevant decidement ce debut d'ete. Bon mais alors quand meme, Samedi, vague de chaleur, donc comme tous les habitants de Sydney, direction la plage! (Enfin pour moi parcque JB lui il a bosse Samedi apres-midi... Un truc de fou pour lui, qui ne lui est arrive que 3-4 fois en 5 ans... trop de boulot, on revient le Week-End) Et direction la fameuse Bondi Beach (a prononcer "Bondai"), avec ses surfeurs, son sable blanc-jaune, ses grosses vagues... En fait Bondi c'est pas si sympa que ca je trouve. Bien sur la plage est grande, impressionnante et pleine de surfeurs, mais c'est aussi plein de monde, d'adolescents, de touriste ou d'australiens pas forcement tres rafines, la plage est bondee (ahah...) et si tu ne te prends pas un ballon envoye par un mec bodybuilde aux steroides dans la figure, tu as de la chance...
Personnelement je conseillerais beaucoup plus d'aller a Manly ou Coogee aui sont aussi faciles d'acces que Bondi et plus sympa je trouve. Je vais revenir a Samedi apres-midi a Bondi car en fait si j'y etais le week-end dernier c'est aussi parce qu'il y avait une repetition du Sydney French Theatre... Alors oui ca fait longtemps que j'en ai pas parle... Donc voila les dernieres nouvelles : nous allons faire une representation a l'Alliance Francaise de Sydney les 18 (1.30pm) et 21 (7pm) Novembre. Ce sera une petite piece (environ 40min) en Francais avec sous titres, appellee Territoire Sans Lumiere, ecrite par Yves Nilly. Nous sommes 7 acteurs et quelques autres amis qui nous aident pour la logistique.
Comme la date fatidique se rapproche, c'est de plus en plus excitant, on fait des repetitions 2 a 3 fois par semaine maintenant et j'espere que tout sera pret pour le 18 Novembre. Si vous voulez en savoir plus, allez voir notre site dont le design devrait etre ameliore bientot, allez sur le site de l'Alliance Francaise ou repondez a cet article en laissant un commentaire.

 Comme vous le voyez, la frequence des repetitions SFT se sont accelerees, et avec le boulot ou c'est bizy bizy, la frequence des post sur ce blog s'en ressent... J'en suis desole et je vais faire de mon mieux pour ecrire plus souvent. Deux news pour finir:
1-Allez voir le blog tres drole des Cleyet-Marrel, des copains qui viennent de demenager a Auckland, Nouvelle Zelande... Le lien est dans la partie "Liens" a gauche.
2-Je vais creer une rubrique super-extra-hilarante... Les "Trucs&Astuces autour du monde"... Ca va etre drole je vous raconte pas! A bientot!!! | Heat wave they said...Last weekend was supposed to be the first real hot of this year, with a huge Heat Wave on Saturday and Sunday. They were wrong...
Well I have to admit that Saturday afternoon was as they had announced, really hot and humid... That was the first part of the wave coming to us. Unfortunately it was also the only we got. Sunday gave us some raindrops, Monday wasn't better and since then, the sky is too gray to make me believe it's summer... A bit disappointing for a Australia I have to say... I hope it'll get better. Well I'm complaining but we did have a really hot Saturday and when it's hot on a Saturday afternoon in Sydney, you run to the Beach... Which is what we did. (Well what I did cos JB -my brother- was working on a Saturday afternoon for the 3rd or 4th time since he arrived here 5 years ago...!!!
So I went to Bondi Beach, the famous white-sand-full-of-surfers-and-huge-waves beach... It does is a great beach but if I was to give my opinion about it (which is what I'm going to do anyway) I'd advice you to go to Manly or Coogee first.
Bondi is way too crowded, packed with teenagers, tourists or huge blokes who must spent at least 4 hours every night at the gym... All those guys are talking loud, playing with balls (which always end up on you or your friends faces) and eating burgers or fries on the beach. Consequently, Bondi Beach is quiet disgusting at the end of the day, full of rubbishes, cans, papers, etc... Anyway, I shouldn't be complaining like a bloody arrogant French (yes Australians think French are arrogant...) because most of this Saturday afternoon spent in Bondi, I was actually in a Karine's flat and not on the Beach. Karine is from the Sydney French Theatre and we had a rehearsal at her place. It's been ages since I have given news of the Sydney French Theatre (SFT, if you have no idea what I'm talking about go to this post, or the SFT website) and I'll feed your appetite for announcement now...!!!
We will have two shows at the Alliance Francaise of Sydney, Saturday 18th of November at 1.30 pm and Tuesday 21st November at 7 pm. It'll be a short play (40 mn) in French with subtitles, called "Lightless Territories". We're 7 actors and some other friends who help with the logistic and the more the date is closer, the more it's stressful and exciting at the same time!!! If you want to know more, if you have questions go to the Alliance Francaise website or write a comment to this post by clicking on "Ajouter un commentaire" under this post.
You can also have a look at some pictures by clicking on the one on the left. There are not many pictures, but I'll add some soon I promise... Well as you probably have realized with what I just said, rehearsals with the SFT are taking more and more of my free time... And if I add to this the fact that I'm being also very busy at work, the result is that I don't have as many time as I used to have for writing posts on this blog... I'm really sorry and I'll try to do my best...Soon... Two small news to end this post:
1-Go and visit the Cleyet-Marrel's blog. Some of you might know Ben or Violaine from CISV, well now they leave in Auckland, NZ and they are writing a really nice and funny blog about their life.
2-I'll create a new category on this blog. It'll be called "Tips&Hints around the world"... It's going to be... Fun! I don't know yet all about it but it'll be fun I'm telling you. See ya!! |
