I asked the hispanophone next to me the most important concept in life, having my little idea as to what she would say. Of course I was wrong, but at least now I have something to write about.
She said 'paix, and then 'dieu', and then 'moi' with a laugh, but didn't spontaneously come up with Miss.Tic's punningly aphoristic 'A la vie, A l'amor, despite the second bit being in Spanish.
Apparently her answer had been greatly influenced by the news recently which, oh surprise surprise, is all about war after uprising after suicide bombing after revolution and on and on.
Give me some happy news, for crying out loud, I hear you shout. But it's not that easy. The fun film I saw this evening had crusaders murdering thousands of infidels and a few wicked witches thrown in (the river after being hanged) for good measure.
On leaving the cinema we had to negotiate about 50 boozed-up Friday night homeless sheltering from the cold. And not forgetting that my little one fell off a toy pushchair of all things today, whacked his nose on a metal bar, and now has a bruise across his face Rocky would be proud of.
But then again, I got good feedback from some training I did last week, managed to get my son and daughter together on Skype, met two wonderfully kooky girls and got some great pics of them, finished a couple of solid articles, got up to date with my Paris photos, published a couple of video tutorials, sent off some calendars, watched blue-tits feeding in the garden, got some good new shots of the city, listened to a lot of good music, wrote a ton of e-mails and ate some delicious roast chicken Wednesday, I think it was, with tasty potatoes to go with. I'm not complaining.
