Hi, how are you?
Daniel Johnston was in town on Monday. I missed the gig because, unlike for Frànçois the other night, this one was scheduled early (6PM), making it difficult to leave P.’s dinner, bath and bedtime to a babysitter. Daniel probably can’t stay up too late. But F. got me a nice consolation prize with this ace tote bag which will add up to my collection. There are video clips of the show here and here.
I have received the Lightships album (Electric Cables) a couple of days ago, and it’s a really georgous warm and free-flowing record.
I have been reading good novels, including Howards End by E.M. Forster, 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, Caribou Island by David Vann, and some youth fiction as I’m returning to work in 2 months…
Here is a pack of Petit Bateau onesies I got for P. to wear in the Summer, and with the loyalty card points we got these coincidentally matching notebooks. I love the look of them! They also issued a range with the band Herman Dune. I don’t know what to think when bands get involved with brands, but I quite like this t-shirt, and there are onesies too.
Also, I have been busy making drawings! I will let you know more about that in due time.
Record of the day: Lightships – Electric Cables

wait a minute, PB has a loyalty card? I had no idea! We buy their stuff through other shops a lot, I guess, so I never heard about them. Those notebooks look lovely.
I’m not sure, but this card may only be available in France. It can be used in PB shops and on their website but not in other shops that sell PB clothes. It’s not a very rewarding card, you have to buy really a lot to get a significant number of points and you have a limited period of time to use them.
On another topic, you have a nice blog!
The notebooks and onesies are very nice!
There are so many children clothing shops in Berlin which sell their products but there is only one Petit Bateau shop in Berlin, which I can use the loyalty card to get points.
Alright! Thanks for the information. Did you get any interesting item with the points?
I only recently found Lightships, (despite mildly stalking Fanclub members until they release something) I’m so glad you think their album is good, I’ll definitely be getting a copy!
Great onesies! When it comes to classic fashion I don’t think anyone really does it better than the French, especially children’s clothes. :)
No, I haven’t reached to the points where I get interesting items yet. Yes, I have to agree with Natalie, the French really do a great job in designing children clothes.
