I'm back in Paris, but still over there in my mind and memory.
I'm a little bit ashamed to confess that we, French, get so much time of holidays! 5 weeks by year in France, it's the legal holidays time, as my work schedule is based on the teachers'one, I get about 15 weeks by year. And it's completely legal.
I missed your blogs, your stories, your humor, your pictures, your skies. But my new occupations were worth it. Suddenly, I have had enough time to read, read , and read again. I had forgotten how pleasant it was to devour a book from the begining to the end in a few days. Books were my 'Internet Patches'. And it works!
Eclectic and entirely European writers!
Furthermore, I've lost a lot of my english vocabulary. Have you ever notice how quickly one can forget a foreign language without practising. Now I'm going to visit you, read your news, leave comments, little by little, I'll catch up. YOU will be my next readings, my autumn readings. It will be very pleasant too.
Are you all some kind of dealers? Your nice comments, witticisms, are just like an invitation to pass more time in front of my screen.
I feel I'm going to plunge back again! No will!
So, one can survive without Internet, but it would be a shame to do without when my friend WIFI is available to offer me its services as intermediary.
Welcome back!!!
RépondreSupprimerI missed you and look so forward to hearing all about your time away.
That is one thing that I wish we had here, for everyone, 5 weeks of vacation/holiday.
So jealous, so busy. Looking forward to what you have to say.
Welcome Back!!

5 weeks!?! It should be illegal! 15 weeks?!? we call that part time or a teacher :) Glad you're back!
RépondreSupprimerVery nice and lively post, Catherine!
RépondreSupprimerI don't agree, lol ! I would be bored to death without blogging, even during holidays. Usually around 4 or 5 I get fat up of the beach or visits and then I have to empty my heart on my blog with new pictures. Of course I am not working anymore and have plenty of time ! I wouldn't know what to do without it !
RépondreSupprimerGood for you! I will take your lead and log off now!
RépondreSupprimerWelcome Home!!!
RépondreSupprimerWe missed you!!
Post about your trip soon, ok?
Yes, welcome back.
RépondreSupprimerI wish I could read like I used to but my eyes would give up on me. I only read a book when I get to bed now and instead of reading at least sixty books a year it is down to about sixteen.
Very civilized holidays.
Awesome post!! I need to heed your advice-- to answer you first impression I thought wow France --maybe she is a transplanted American I don't know why I thought that??? I guess i was looking for a reference point. Then I began to think I know this woman lives in a country a half a world away amongst beauty and art that are older than the entire country i live in and yet she seems so like myself--in dress -in wit- she takes similar photos --some of artistic beauty - some of nature- some of family but her love of what she is taking shows in her photos and I have fun seeing what i might see or Photograph if I lived in France.
RépondreSupprimerWell FINALLY you're back! Yay!
RépondreSupprimerI was a bit worried when I didn't hear from you FOREVER!!! LOL
So glad you had a grand time though. And welcome back. :)
Stieg Larsson is some of your book selections? Welcome back from holiday.
