Brilliant!

The Grace Kelly exhibition was amazing. I, of course, bought a poster of herself! The queue was ridiculous though. People are taking advantage of the fact that it's a free exhib so we were waiting for at least 2 hours outside... In the sun... with no sunblock on. Uh oh!

It's Saturday Morning

I have nothing but good intentions for the next week or so. Lots of outings, lots of lunching lots of reading.
This morning we're going to see a Grace Kelly exhibition for free in La Hotel de Ville. I'm excited! Then possibly a haircut, a night out in a castle in Bois de Boulogne, who knows!
I have some photos I'd like to put up but haven't got the time now so I'll leave you with one. I found this while I was searching for American Apparel the other day. There is one less than 5 minutes cycle from the apartment!

I like finding things like this on the streets. I think I can definitely say I'm still a tourist, maybe 5% parisienne? I do find myself getting angry on the metro more and more. A rite of passage some might say.

Thanks to a torrential downpour this morning, we decided not to go to the gardens. I thought it was never going to stop last night.

Can't believe it's August! Paris is sooo quiet at the moment. I was in one of my fave vintage shops today and I was the only person it what is usually a crowded store. The metro is even dead these days. Had great fun with my Mum, ate in restaurants that aren't really in my price range (Thanks ma!) and had fun showing her the Paris I've come to know over the summer!

Found a roommate for the vacant room which is very exciting, think the Autumn/Winter will be fun!
Even though it's ridiculously warm at the moment, I've started thinking about winter wardrobe already! The thought of wool jumpers makes me feel horrible but I can't wait until it's time to be all cosy!
Am going to Claude Monet's gardens tomorrow, weee! I love the city but I think I need a small break, I haven't been out of Paris city in two months. The gardens are meant to be lovely and hopefully it won't be too busy.

My august resolution is to update this every day... let's see how I get on!
