I just watched you today, and I love you
I had almost given up on François Truffaut: my favourite was Vivement Dimanche (his last film), and I really hadn’t liked every other I had seen from him (Les Quatre Cents Coups, Tirez sur le pianiste, Jules et Jim). But Le Dernier Métro was amazing: shot in 1980, it captures so well the atmosphere of occupied Paris, and focuses on a troupe of comedians and a small theatre in Montmartre.
Watch it: you must!

Anna Bond My fox
I might call him Christian here, but at home I call him ‘Fox’ most of the time. After the passage in ‘Le Petit Prince’ about the fox, who defines the relationship between them as ‘you not being just any human, and me not being just any fox’.
And isn’t this one a very pretty fox?
See him and some other friends here.

I couldn’t resist this
Errr
So I’m cooking amaranth for lunch, which I’m told is a fantastic source of protein and iron (handy for a vegan diet right?). Except, as it’s simmering it kind of smells like cat pee….. I am not so enthusiastic to try it now :(
Could it be taken from the Arc de Triomphe with a really long lens, so the Eiffel Tower looks much closer than it is?
Christian and I are trying to figure out where this was taken from (the title is one of his hypotheses). We don’t really know. I know I want this on my wall!
I’m nostalgic for my country tonight.
