I’m back ON
Back in the ‘not so real world’. France Telecom/Wanadoo/Orange have now got us up and running…
I’m sitting in amongst boxes still. Computer is on the floor, because the desk is too big, no chair, but we are now the proud owner(s) of a very tiny double bed which is heaven after close to a week on the bare floor! Not a lot of advancement to be honest, but it’s coming along slowly. Francis is coming by tonight to fiddle with the electricity to give us some light in the kitchen in exchange for a meal. It has to be a cold meal, because we have an induction stove, and wouldn’t you know it… all my lovely copper pots don’t work on an induction stove.
Does this sound like complaining? It shouldn’t really. There are some wonderful things happening.
We are 10 minutes walk to the Louvre
Vin Rose is very cheap and very very good
Coffee & croissants for breakfast is to die for…
Our apartment is very quiet, yet in a very vibrant neighbourhood
We have some very generous friends around us that have been helping out with trips to Ikea, building of furniture, providing an on-call resource service, and best yet, taking me out to leave the dust and boxes for a break once in awhile for a G&T in the sun.
I’m off to prepare a salad for dinner, but promise I’ll write more soon…
Woo hoo! You’re on!
Nice to hear you’re live again….send me the nice pots you can no longer use, i’ll suffer with them if u want.
Have a G and T for me too…what the heck, and a nice Rose while you’re at it….
one question…does it become “les filles de Paris” now?? will the Blog lose it’s name?? is the weather Pixie still giving us Scottish weather, or has she moved to Paris too?? so many questions…so little time… IC
Allo, Nice to read you again. Will you be posting a photo of your new panorama so that we can picture what you see while eating your croissant in the morning??
Nice to hear you’re safe and inebriated! I was wondering the same things as Ian…
Well, it’s official, we are coming to crash your new city from September 23 until October 9th. We’ve found an apartment in what I think is the old red light district… leave it to me! If you’re curious (and I know you love this trip planning stuff as much as I do): https://www.letsparis.com/fromentin.html
Say hi to Michelle for me and big Parisian hugs and kisses to you both!
I have this strange craving for a G&T…
A couple of answers… the weather pixie has moved to paris with us, the title I haven’t quite decided yet what to do with it, i’ll post some pictures when I can find my camera(!) and that’s marvelous news Nancy – you’re pretty well halfway between us and Roland Yves….
