DIANE’S CHRONIC
                                             MARCH 2021

Hello, we are already on Monday March 1st and we wish you excellent week, if we are allowed, still
with Covid-19, for « humans » and unfortunately, now, Rhinopneumonia EHV-1 for our friends the
horses…
I’m going anyway talk to you about subjects that do not generate melancholy, to face optimistically…

And, to begin with, the popularity of the sulfurous singer, Serge Gainsbourg who has never been so
high since his death on March 2, 1991, so thirty years ago… For the occasion, several projects will pay
tribute to him!!!!
At his death, no necro spoke of « genius ». Today all the articles devoted to Gainsbourg celebrate him
in this way… Hello, the artist and Thank you…
From the sky, Serge Gainsbourg must have a good laugh, he who said in the winter of his life: « I can’t
go on to posterity, what did she do for me? » I fucke posterity »…. Real humility, false coquetry? but
thirty years after his disappearance at 62, the smoker of Gitanes remains omnipresent in popular
memory!!!!1

This week, we invite you to go back in time. A few weeks, attending what had to be Rone’s canceled
show. A few months, discovering the series « The expanse ». From a few years, by plunging back into
classic eighties movies… We will have fun with « MicroMacro Crime City », which received Sunday,
the Golden Ace « game of the year », the most prestigious prize for a board game in France… Solve
puzzles in cooperation thanks to a huge urban map full of details!!!!

THE PODCAST TO LISTEN: « Gamberge », taking the lead among athletes…High level sport visas
much a matter physics as of mental. The sole will of an athlete can sometimes change match, a race,
an event. How do athletes manage their thoughts important, decisive moments? How do they
experience these particular emotions of competition? It is to these that « Gamberge » tries to answer,
a podcast which questions athletes and their coaches on the psychological aspect -and necessarily
subjective- of their profession. The first season of this precise podcast without being too technical
ended in December with about thirty episodes. To listen and follow…2

This Thursday, let’s applaud Kevin and Visconti who won the big event in Doha, where everything is
perfectly secure and a big thank you to the organizers who know how to take no risk with regard to the
horses on the site… Where everything can continue in all serenity!!!!

We are on Friday March 5th. It’s official: Ile-de-France will not be confined this weekend. To steal
moments of freedom while respecting barrier gestures, we escape into thresh air. We visit an exotic
garden, we play Tarzan in the trees and we ski in the countryside… Street-art, contemporary art,
children’s illustrations…

So, skiing in the countryside, with hikes on wheels… In the absence of snowy mountains, Strike Trek
77 offers you sporting ballads through the countryside from Provins to… strikes. A kind of skates
mounted on rollers, between skis and rollerblades…
Adventures in the trees: « Accrobranche » -Thrill-seekers, meet at the Ecopark Adventures of Creteil.
Eight courses in the trees allow youth test your limits, with in particular six zip lines over after basin…3

After all these emotions… AT THE TABLE: family dinners with a gratin of zucchini and mushrooms with
parmesan and pesto….Simple but grandiose...

Already struck by Covid-19, equestrian sports are facing a terrible disease: rhinopneumonia. this viral
disease, one of the most contagious in equines, causes high fevers and serious neurological disorders
and in rarer cases, death…. The FEI mentioned in press release « the epidemic of EHV-1, the most
serious in Europe for decades » …
Competitions and gatherings canceled, the virus being contagious, therefore essential sanitary
measures… Most riders like Kevin will remain without competition for about a month!!!! It is therefore
necessary to evoke the progress made and those which remain to be made in the management of such
crises…
So, let’s try to escape a little, to resume the more normal course of our life and that of our horses…
Paddock at will, efficient care and daily check of the condition of our horses, little relaxation, in the sun
on an appropriate quarry…

YOUR PLEASURE: With David Tennant’s mind-boggling performance in »Des »… In 1983, the London
police discovered corpses at the home of an apparently ordinary man. The police face an egocentric
and manipulative individual. David Nilsen says « Des » which only attacks young men. Adaptation of a
terrifying news item, this remarkable miniseries avoids any voyeurism and privileges austerity with the
doubtful image. In the title role, David Tennant delivers a mind-boggling performance, after playing the
tormented cop from Broadchurch, the actor walks magnificently to theater side of the barrier and slips
with relish into the skin of this assassin in need of attention…4

DO YOU REVIEW? Warner made it. The Clint Eastwood luxury box set, brings together some 63 films
of the last sacred monster of American cinema, garnering 63 years of career from 1958 to 2019 !!!!
An integral limited to 2200 copies which includes three documentaries, posters, photographs and a
bonus booklet to get away from it all with thirster, now 90 years old… » For a handful dollars, the
inspector Harry, on the road of Madison, Million Dollar baby »… The list makes your head spin. To
occupy the long evenings curfew, while waiting for his new feature film, called « Cry Macho »!!!! Some
of this new « impact » impossible not to wait with frenzy!!!!5

OUR ADDITIONAL INFO: They will be confined underground for 40 days…
On March 14, eight men and seven women will descend into the bowels of the Lombrives cave, in
Ariege. In the middle of the wet rocks, they will live for forty days deprived of any spatio-temporal
reference mark: neither sun, nor clock. « We wish to answer two big questions, explains the Franco-
Swiss Christian Clot, at the origin of the project. Is the brain capable of generating an image of time
when it has lost all notion of it? Will the group manage to function together in these totally new living
conditions? »6

As for us / AT TABLE « LES Z’AMOURS »!!!!
For a delicious yellow Indian vegetable curry, all the strength and colors of the ingredients and the
choice of vegetables : Garlic, onions, ginger, yellow curry in power, cumin, turmeric, coriander sprigs,
mix and add tomatoes, carrots, spinach, raisins, simmer and enjoy with family and or friends, without
forgetting the distancing!!!!!

We are on Friday March 12, the weekend is approaching. Sunday, we travel in Italy, with colored
canvases, along the Rhone, with photo exhibition, or in the world of fairy tales, at the Chateau de
Breteuil. Then, we bite into a delicious sandwich typical of the Nicoise region…
So, we offer ourselves a vacation in Italy, with an exhibition: Vines bathed in light, Venetian lagoon,
romantic hotels… The artist Anna Peter-Breton depicts a romantic getaway in Italy with about thirty
watercolors, presented at the gallery Sarto…10

Records, concerts, exhibitions : a shower of tributes for the centenary of the birth of
Brassens…Famous mustachioed author….And the 40 years of his death…The town of Sète (Hérault)
obviously reserves a rich program from June to December for the child of the country; The projects
flourish for Brassens, who liked to sail on the Thau pond and who rests in the cemetery Le Py !!!!11

WE LOVE: Marcel Proust is back… In literature, we never rejoice as much as when it comes to the
most sacred of our writers, Marcel Proust. We have found the first sketches of what will become « A la
recherche du temps perdu » that Gallimard is publishing tomorrow. These pages written in 1908, we
thought they were lost…12

We are Thursday, March 18, « the situation is deteriorating, our responsibility is now that it does not
escape us » declares, Jean Castex. Territorialized measures have been announced. Thus a 7 days
week confinement will come into force tomorrow evening, Friday, for 4 weeks in 16 departments: all
those of Ile-de-France and Hauts-de-France, the Alpes-Maritimes, Seine-Maritime and the Eure… And
the curfew will go from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., but everywhere next week!!!! But with the breathtaking strategy,
up to ten km from your home and up the curfew if that temps you!!!!

So, let’s cheer up with a digestible dish for a weeknight: Pan-fried kale with ginger, eggs and feta…
Finally, a little happiness!!!!

Poêlée de chou kale au gingembre, œufs, feta…

DELICIOUS SECRET: We love a website for gourmets…It is not a restaurant in Ile-de-France that would
start delivery, but website apt high-end organic products. Iberian ham, 100% natural slice, demented:
organic cheeses for tray-tv, organic Black angus: in 100%natural beef carpaccio, etc… And healthy,
life becomes beautiful!!!13

I presume, that like most French people and like ourselves, you rushed in front of your screen, for this
final match of the 6 nations tournament : France-Scotland…Obviously this defeat (23-27) leaves
disappointment and frustration in relation to the scenario of the match that we hold and that we let
slip… But we must take a little height to be able to come back stronger in the next tournament. And
then a second place in the tournament it’s not so bad even if everyone would have preferred to finish
this tournament with a victory!!!! Well done, despite that, to all these sportsmen who give themselves
completely in their project…

I would like to leave you on a sporting feat, I will leave you on a very offensive, noble and intensive
match that kept us going!!!!

Until next month… Don’t forget the barrier gestures…

Diane
