Today's Inktober prompt is "hike". Strangely, there seems to be no difference in translation of "hike" and "trek", they are both "randonnée".
The best after a hike is being able to wriggle your toes / Le mieux après une randonnée c'est de pouvoir remuer les orteils
Today's Inktober prompt is "passport" (passeport).
By a strange coincidence, today a postman brought our son his passport, which was stolen a month ago in Bilbao. Apparently it was simply thrown away, spent some time under rain, later found and sent over by, presumably, "lost and found" (Objets trouvés) agency.
The passport was stolen together with a whole backpack full of important things, most of which we'll never see.
To be honest, I am surprised the passport was found.
As a bonus track, the French version of "are we there yet?" seems to be "On arrive quand ?", i.e. "when do we arrive?". Feel free to correct me if I am wrong
We are, once again, in October. I do intend to draw a little thing every day and follow the prompts. Here is the first one: Backpack / Sac à dos
Here I was, convinced that the animal dancing for Chinese New Year was a dragon. Well, no, it is a lion, although visually is almost the same thing, especially viewed from the front.
Here's the cat and a friend, donning the lion costume and preparing to dance the year in.
Happy Chinese New Year!
The Unknown Woman is a painting by the Russian painter Ivan Kramskoy created in 1883
The unknown cat, however, is a drawing done by me in 2024.

This October I definitely won't be able to make a pic per day, not even close. But something the Inktober prompt is just too good to miss, so: meet "le crapaud", ie the toad.
The text is "Assis ou debout, le crapaud est toujours le même".
Which means "Sitting or standing, the toad is always the same", and it is a Tanzanian proverb, apparently
