Yep, big french connection in the family, the eldest was born there and I lived in Paris with Iana for a couple of years in the early 2000's. Looking forward to diving into the place on Friday!

Looks like about as far from your location as possible - South west, about an hour outside Bordeaux. Pit stop for a night in Paris- bittersweet as the youngest will see her late mum's city for the first time - she's very excited. I can't wait to go south- high on the list of permanent >

Was with someone who’s over for the United tour last night. Was telling him how much I spend a month on groceries for me, a teenager and a 9 year old. His head nearly fell off. Went to a neighborhood supermarket this morning. How much you think this lot cost? Pint on me for the closest $.

Friday's Weather Rating: 2/10

Instant sweat weather is back. High temperatures reach the upper 90s with ridiculous humidity. Partly cloudy skies are in place early, but severe storms are possible later. The vibes are melting away once again.

A woman sitting down drinking her coffee while looking out the window at the street activity.

Coffeeshop this am - scrolling, liking, reposting, chasing the dopamine. I stopped to say Hi to Mary. Know her via @chinatownbranch.bsky.social Sat down, had a chat, bit of a laugh, & life. Walked out feeling energised. Little moments IRL is the real social media. No app comes close. Get out there
