Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings concert Geneva 23 May 2012

Amazing woman. Sharon Jones only started her singing career in her 40s. She just celebrated her 56th birthday. People have been telling her that she's a fat black woman, too old, to start a career in this tough industry. But she didn't care, she started singing anyway. Now many would agree that she leads the soul and funk movement in the US - touring with her band around the world and worked with big stars in Hollywood and the music biz. That goes to show that it's never too late to follow your dreams!! 

I like this song:

Château de Chillon

Château de Chillon near Montreaux was an awesome castle to visit. It may not look it, but it can take you more than an hour to explore all the chambers, dungeons, secret passageways and towers. It exhibited various artifacts and depictions of death sentences given to alleged witches and warlocks between the 15th and 17th century. The castle itself was a detention centre for those accused of witchcraft and wizardry waiting to be tried. Of course, at that time, things like birthmarks or moles on the body was considered as a witch's mark. So... that means that if I lived there during those times, I would definitely be prosecuted. Especially if caught holding a flying broom stick.    

What a small bed. The count must have been a really small guy.

Dancing

The toilet hole. It leads to the lake.

One has to protect one's family jewels.
