Mika, Julia and I went to the flower market in Cité today. It was small but I think the right word to describe it would be cute. Nothing special, but it makes you miss nature a bit. The best thing was the tent with orchids, they had the meat eating one also and a big sign Do Not Touch. First time I'm afraid of a flower! Beauty decieves... Some people (who saw me trying to pick flowers for work in Trosa) might disagree when I say it was the first time I've been afraid of a flower but it's true because usually I'm just afraid what might be living on the flower, not the vegetation in itself! I'm truly pathetic when trying to pick flowers... But I enjoy watching them and receiving them! (spider proofed of course)
Today was the first day I've noticed all the tourists. The season is commencing. And No, I'm no tourist, I live here!... It's rather funny though, confused people trying to read a map, everywhere people are eating crepes or trying to eat snails, I was sure I was going to have a snail hit my face today when an Englishman was attempting to use the clamps. Finally he gave up, drank his pint and used his fingers like a proper Englishman.
Funny thing nearly happened today, Mika and I were sitting at a bench in the Champ-de-mars, a park in front of the Eiffel tower in the 7th arrondissement, you know, all the famous pictures bla bla bla and a man on a bike rides by. So french he says, ooh bonjour, we just looked at him and ignored it but just as I was about to look away, I see that he is heading right towards a street light and unfortunately/fortunately, whichever you want, he managed to steer away just in the last second! It would have been a little bit funny.....
Now, the next few days I might not be myself because Mika has convinced me to do a complete detox which means no food, only tea and I don't know what. Oh deary me!
Love the post.
