Briller par son absence


That was a long pause! I'm back after a long absence. "Je suis de retour aprรจs une longue absence." 
So what a good opportunity to learn a new expression today: "Briller par son absence". That's a rather ironic expression! Actually, it means "to get noticed for being absent". So the verb "briller" doesn't mean "to shine" here but rather "to excel".
