A gardener has decided to retire... at the respectable age of 104... putting his longevity down to having "plenty to do and being interested in it". That's quite a fantastic example to follow.
Full story at BBC News.
It seems according to a recent study (BBC News again) Danish people, are the happiest people in Europe because of lower expectation or more realistic expectations. Danes (according to the study ) just take a more realistic view of life, and year after year are just simply happy that things didn't go as badly as they feared.
Is the secret of an happy life a simpler life (and avoid too high expectations) ?
That remind me of the truth told by buddhism, life is suffering because of desire (desire of renewed life)...
Also in the news the administrative court in Nice, has pronounced the expulsion of the homeless which were staying of the beach of the "Promenade".... just a question of prestige, it did not look good for the image of the city.... It's very hypocrite decision when you know that the promenade is full of working girls... but these ones are probably good for tourism.....

Finally a bit of media:
Happy Birthday Tracks, and its ten years on the German/French TV Channel.
And don't forget from April 23 to April 29, it's Turn Off TV week... so TV couch potatoes, switch it off, go out !
I know it's a bit paradoxical, to celebrate in one hand the 10 years of a TV show ( a brilliant one) and on the other hand to incite people to switch off their TV.
