    Bonsoir Marit, je profite d'une insomnie pour faire votre exercice, en espérant ne pas avoir fait trop d'erreurs.

    Avez-vous du beau temps au Québec ? Ici, le printemps a du mal à s'installer.

    Je vous souhaite une agréable semaine. A très bientôt !

    Un petit bonjour très matinal aux amies et amis !
