Broke the week curse and poured it in the ground

The weekend promises to be beautiful. It's sunny outside and all predictions point at a perfect Saturday and Sunday. Tomorrow, we will visit Kew Gardens. Today, we head for the second-hand music stores for some CD shopping. Tourists must be salivating with the thought of being in London.

This is Spring. These are the mornings when you can wander the apartment in your underwear, no curtains pulled shut. These are the days to return to the swimming pool and lay the winter coat down, in tatters. Bliss.

I found a piece of hair in my Kebab last night.

And I went to Paris with Steveo ([livejournal.com profile] idioticpoet). We took a train and arrived in a station situated inside a mountain (I had no idea Paris had a mountain in its centre.) Steveo couldn't remember where exactly his friend lived, but he had her address. We hailed a taxi. The taxi driver began speaking in his mobile phone, making fun of us in french to the person on the other line. Anger. I shouted back at him in french, telling him off for being an asshole to visitors when the french are sooo well treated in Britain. We told the driver to stop and we got out. The driver felt guilty and wanted to drive us for free to our destination. We payed 10 euros and he drove off.

Happy coincidence: Steveo's friend lived in the appartment building we were standing outside. While he went upstairs to fetch her, I found a bathtub and took a bath.

"While he went upstairs to fetch her, I found a bathtub and took a bath."

How the heck do you manage to find baths everywhere?! Where were you when you found this bathtub? I need to introduce you to [livejournal.com profile] alison_says, you'll get along I think. She also loves her 2 hr baths. She'll call me from the bathtub and I hear *splash-a splash-a* SO FUNNY!

[livejournal.com profile] wasabinoryuu asks: "I thought Paris was a swamp? There's a "story" of some people fleeing someone and they found a swamp and were safe there and built a city. Is this Paris, or another city in France with a river running through it?"

cast no shadow

I hate finding hair in my food.

Lucky you, having all the main cities of Europe quite close to you. I mean, I could hit up NY, Orlando, and DC is under my nose...but I miss Europe. I'll be in Poland May20 - July3...with a possible stop in Italy. You should go find yourself in Venice and coincidently run into me! :)
