Shortly after my last post, bleary-eyed and no longer able to edit/rewrite, first I took a look at the live Webcam of la Tour Eiffel to see dawn breaking in Paris (imagining myself stepping out for a cup of coffee and a croissant while watching all the busy fonctionnaires scurrying off to work), and then I happened to read out the latest blog post from La Coquette.
Which not only entertained me when I really needed it, and made my heart ache for Paris (reminding my WHY I am writing/editing that book -- to make money to move to Paris), but also proved why maybe the damned airlines have a point about checking in two hours early. Read it and laugh 'til you weep.
