So the BIG NEWS is that Ferdia and I are moving into a flat of our very own! In six and a half weeks!!! It's huge and amazing, I can't even tell you stress of the whole process but YES WE ARE BUYING A PROPERTY!
We also went to Paris this weekend, which was fun and sunny but super mega hexpensive, especially considering we're saving our monies so we don't have to sleep on a blow up mattress for six months, and eat on a blow up mattress for six months, and use a blow up mattress as a desk and chair and sofa for six months.
I ate sooo much pastry! Here is a macaroon enjoying the view from Monmartre.
we went to the contemporary art gallery opposite the Palais de Tokyo, which I thought I hadn't been to, but I have a strong feeling that Kathy and I went there when we went with school, do you remember batkat? We went from the freezing cold boat trip that we were the only passengers on... I really feel like we went there and thought it was shit. Which either means that we were philistines or that it's got a LOT better since 1998, although those two options are not mutually exclusive.
here was a bike polo match going on in the abandoned pool between the galleries, it was fun to watch. I think it's the only sport you can legitimately do in a trilby and skinny jeans.
We went to the Promenade Plantee which is an elevated railtrack that has been turned into... a promenade plantee. It's got shops under it but we didn't bother with that seeing as a bottle of water was £3.50. God the £ is so crap at the moment, do NOT underestimate how poor we British are! Then again, Ferdia's parents got a great exchange rate on their euros so that shaved £2.5K off our mortgage, shouldn't complain really!
This one's for Robbie
Ferdia took a shittonne of photos with his amazing camera, although he did spend AGES faffing about with it all the time. Still, it's Paris innit?
