may day in france

May 01, 2008 13:33

i am celebrating may day by hanging around my apartment alone in my pajamas until as long as i can bear. séb brought a couple friends up to normandy last night, they will be returning tonight, but i elected to stay in paris so that i can attend my yoga class this evening. it is customary in france to offer people sprigs of lily of the valley on the 1st of may, thanks to king charles IX (according to wikipedia.) last night before leaving, my sweetheart picked up a sprig to leave for me and with it a short note wishing me a happy 1st of may :)

i am sort of getting things done though - i am uploading some pictures to flickr and trying to get up the courage to do some writing later. i also might go to the cinéma or to a museum... we'll see.

last weekend i went to lovely bruges with mariah, it was great. there are more pictures on my flickr page (click the photo):
