Anyway we had a leisurely breakfast with some new cheese, a seasonal variety that is soft like brie or camembert but is banded in tree bark and has a very pleasurable tang to it. Along with that we shared a melon and a persimmon. A nice pot of tea and we were set. It was quite foggy this morning and so we waited until the sun burned off the overcast to get out.
We took a walk in the neighborhood and went to a speciality shop for cooking to have a look around. Yet a third grapefruit knife and an Eiffel Tower shaped cookie cutter later we exited and walked down Jaures towards town and all of our usual market shops. We didn't actually buy any food, as I had stocked up a little in anticipation of her return. There are many street artists in Paris and I have been trying to document some and just capture images of others. We have one who has been busy in our neighborhood and today we spotted a new one (to us anyway). He did another one a few blocks away but some unenlightened asshat started defacing it after a very short time. Sorry about the angle there was a truck parked close to it and I couldn't get a good perspective.
It was pretty cool and I'm glad Deb listened to my advice to wear a scarf, and she is too. Tomorrow we have plans to get out more, stay tuned.
Also Deb mentioned that several people told her that they were entering comments and never seeing any responses. This is to the people she mentioned, I've not seen any comments and I'm sorry for that because I like to hear what your thoughts are. I can't guess why you're not appearing on my comments page, I get comments from several other people. If you would please send them directly to either me or Deb I would be more than happy to respond. Thanks.
I've been commenting time to time. Based on what you said today on your blog, I'm wondering if you've seen mine? Glad Deb is back with you. Hope she rebounds soon. I'm sure she's tired more from the Denver activity than just the travel. Happy belated Thanksgiving, Deb!
ReplyDeleteHi Peter, yes I've been seeing yours and Gail's too. I think Deb slept all last night so maybe we're back on the Paris time road.
