Again we were at the movies (saw ‘Benjamin Button’). The atmosphere around Bibliothèque is more interesting than pleasant, too modern for our taste. Visually interesting though.

Hanging out in “Les éditeurs”, Paris 6e / Odéon, brought out this picture. Everything felt red like in an Almodovar movie. Nice place to read.

3001093 dudes having fun during the “fête de la coquille” on Montmartre. Here we go : “Les amoureux du bien vivre et du savoir être vont pouvoir s’en donner à cœur joie en cette fin de mois de janvier. Comme chaque année, les quartiers de Montmartre se mettent en quatre pour recevoir l’un des grands moments festifs et culinaires de ce début d’année : la Fête de la Coquille Saint Jacques d’Erquy et la fête de Saint-Vincent, saint patron des vignerons… Si vous aimez les produits de la mer et du terroir et si décidément vous ne saurez jamais dire non à la dégustation de succulentes terrines et autres confits ou si les coquilles Saint Jacques cuisinées façon chefs du bord de mer réveillent l’éternel gourmet qui sommeille en vous … la grande célébration gustative de Montmartre est bien faite pour vous.”

This is actually an older picture. Given the fact that THIS is, what would have expected me in the métro today, I worked from home. Don’t want to put up anymore with the lazy strikers. Why would I ? There is skype, telephone, email.

Nice : The sound of a harp is special and unusual. Particularly in the midst of traffic at rush hour (Gare de Lyon !)

It’s been cold – very cold – for months now. Lucky that we have a store right at the exit of our building with the newest-latest bathing suit fashion – in case we’re running short and urgently need a swimmsuit. .. : SOS MAILLOT DE BAIN ! !
