Simon and his dog, Tintin and Milou, are very proud and very kind . We did hard work; it was not easy - we had to move a big and heavy ceramic oven and we werere not sure we could do it, but we were successful! He played guitar, piano, he draws very well, and is a good cook. Good luck, Simon, in your life and I hope to see you again.
