Another beautiful day in Paris. It was a sunny morning when I went for my walk around Beaubourg eating a ‘pain aux raisins‘. I was headed to the cinema to catch an Australian aboriginal film 10 Canoes, the morning session- it was a beautiful day out, a bit sad to go into the darkness of the cinema, but the film is only on one session a week Tuesdays at 11.35am and I wasn’t going to miss it again! Surprisingly, for such a little known film, and one that’s been playing for some time, the cinema was half full.

It certainly wasn’t what I was expecting, but it was a charming kind of moralistic flic making a pleasant way to while away some time. By lunchtime when the film was finished the sun was quite strong. I continued my walk up to Gallery Lafayette gourmet to pick up some fish and prawns and other fresh ingredients for our grand return to sushi that we’ve scheduled tonight. It’s been a month of restaurants and I’m reacting by making one salad after another all this week… then before we know it, we’ll be heading off again this weekend to the land of bangers & mash, whisky and haggis.

To walk up a hill. Joy.
