MAYBE A BIT INCONVENIENT?

 I love dogs, I really do. Big or small. I came across this fellow (or maybe gal) in the train from the outskirts of Paris. The train wasn't crowded for a while, but after a while it filled up. The dog paid no mind and the owner didn't make any effort to at least make the dog sit up, allowing for a person to stand. Non-chalance par excellence...and not good manners.

GIACOMETTI LIVES??

I was recently in Paris....and caught an awful virus, which is the reason I haven't posted recently.  In the Marais section of the capital I came across this fellow (in the photo with his back toward us) who reminded me of Henri Cartier-Bresson's photo (below mine) of the Swiss sculpteur ALBERTO GIACOMETTI.

 

PERFECT WEATHER

 

Perfect weather for mushrooms anyway. He field where I sometimes walk my dog is loaded with them. 

RĖMY

 Leaving Paris. I realized I don't have my neck pillow, so I just had to buy Rémy, star of Ratatouille! 

STEAK-FRITES

 Ok, these are small frieds potatoes, not really 'frites, ' but the flank steak with gorgonzola sauce was to die for. Vive la France. 

SOUPE À L'OIGNON GRATINÉE

 I think all my Paris pictures are going to be of food. Above is onion soup gratinée and below some crispy french fries with herb mayonnaise. Vive la France. 

STUFFED

 Yesterday my friends and I went to visit the basilica at Saint-Denis, dating from 1130, a fine example if the 'new' Gothic art. Afterwards I treated them to a couscous. I LOVE couscous and stuffed myself. The picture my friend took is a bit blurred, but that works to my advantage. 

FRENCH MORNING

 Arrived at friends' place just outside if Paria. Wonderful to see rhem again. This is an early morning view from my bedroom window. 

ON MY WAY...

 .. to Paris! 

THEME DAY -DECEMBER: FURRY THINGS

This is my granddaughter's dog, Koko, aka The Destroyer of soft toys.

She's had this toy for quite a while, but recently is  hell-bent on destroying it. Stuffing all over the place. I've left the stuffing out and she still plays with it. She's found and removed the whistle, but still loves the toy, a sloth.
