i don’t want you to fall into the abyss and blame me so that’s all pour maintenant! (plus we found a kitten today and she’s on my lap and i’m typing with one finger. bon nuit!

I love typing around/with a kitten who will grow into a cat and get better at manipulating the computer! (One of my cats has found a “turn off the whole computer” button that I can’t even figure out which one it is but she steps on it often as she walks over the keyboard. What’s up with that?!) I do it daily and it is noble skill. Oh, and the pictues and links are very good, as well!

you’re so right! she was trying to see what i was doing and jumping on the keyboard, maybe it’s a natural instinct to distract us!

What a darling kitty. That nose smudge reminds me of those little beauty spots the women at court applied to their faces – don’t know the French word. You have been chosen by an impressive little feline.

She’s -so- precious! She found herself the right humans to be her companions and chow dish keepers. What a smart little girlie.

Versailles remains one of my absolute favorite memories! I loved Marie Antoinette’s crazy pseudo hamlet village too!
P.S. I am in love with your new kitten.

I haven’t had much time for blog-reading or blog-writing lately, but I had been feeling very sad for Paris the last couple of days, lovely as Oxford is, and I thought of you this evening (I’m trying to get back on track) but what do I find? Remember… remember… Paris…. *bursts into tears* I guess it’s my own fault for neglecting my blog friends so shamefully recently! I will try to improve.

Hi Claudia, you have to read the new book by Antonia Fraser- Love and Louis XIV. You will so enjoy it.
Lovely litte kitten you have been blessed with.
Our cat is on for some surgery this very moment and we can’t wait to go and get him back home again soon enough.
All the best from Ingela
