c'est mardi - c'est bon

all is bon in this part of the world.

in short, it is extremely hot and dry, and we continue to consume good food and good wine, read good books and listen to good music, while having good chat, usually in the evening over aforementioned wine. which adds up to a lot of good.

tomorrow we become three.

au revoir...

c'est dimanche

mon dieu, c'est chaud...

having established that the dial up connection's functional, i shall return here again later. it's easily hitting 90 degrees and this morning's cafe double and cafe au lait have long worn off. i am feeling muchos in need of an afternoon nap.

all is as beautiful as we remembered it. vive la france and all who sail in her.

til later,

perfect white facades

London...

delivered a great day, but, having sat with fingers on keys while staring aimlessly into space for the past twenty minutes, i realise a day of wall2wall meaningful chat makes for a lot to reflect upon.

taxi took us on an amazing route through the city tonight. so many grand and beautiful buildings in every architecture, i was... mesmerised. it was belgravia that took my breath away.

bed beckons... hmmmm.

Night the first

London...

began with a hug that lasted almost as long as the bus journey from the station to the flat. jude cheffed up a deelishuss thai green curry and we vegged in front of a dvd. cath made us all a cuppa and she, me and mcleary chatted and shimmied to take that while jude uploaded her photos from Cardiff. a nice relaxed end to a hectic day...

my journey here was kinda remarkable. and weird. in a good way... still trying to process how it is that for the first time ever i entered an airport and then walked onto a plane and didn't feel anxiety. no increase in heart rate. no panic attack. i was calm. at peace. go figure... i kept waiting for the usual claustrophobia and vertigo to kick in, the overwhelming mortal fear. but they didn't show up. maybe they went ahead of me to Provence, where it's 33 degrees...

right. must try and catch some zzzz. tomorrow's gonna be a big day with lots of chat. i'm meeting kristen in 8 hours...really must get into bed now.

nite y'all.
