I like the photos of the instruments. <BR/><BR/>I am getting back into my writing again, too. The winter months are perfect for staying up late and writing under moonlight. Another blogger friend is doing the write a book in a month thing and I may give that a try. It will at least be good for getting into productive mode again. If you are interested its http://nanowrimo.org. Doesn't sound like you need it though. :)Diane Dehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178263734982687383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369146.post-35354889394635888122007-11-01T14:04:00.000+01:002007-11-01T14:04:00.000+01:00Right, I'm coming over to visit right away then! ;...Right, I'm coming over to visit right away then! ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369146.post-64597437291489157202007-11-01T13:19:00.000+01:002007-11-01T13:19:00.000+01:00Hi Kimy, I don't really consider myself a proper s...Hi Kimy, I don't really consider myself a proper shopper either, but Fnac just has that affect on people. Thanks for asking about the knees. I have to go to see a physiotherapist but it seems he does not work on the days I can go! <BR/>JD - there are plenty of places to go shopping in paris, but if you want violins, then that shop is pretty good.<BR/>Hi Seamus, yeah I think there are cafes here in Paris too, I just never get up that far!<BR/>Minx - it's perfectly normal. <BR/>Kyklops I'm answering your question, but I get the impression that I'm missing the joke here. It's prounounced "fNAC"<BR/>Sam - I like to think I'm the shopper you describe, but Fnac does bad things to me.<BR/>Ah but Jon you have to say Paf with the right accent and the right kind of temperament and then it's OK. It's very onomatopoeic. Oh and BTW thanks for telling me it was a hurdy gurdy. I didn't actually know what it was. <BR/>Hi Taffiny. The sculpture is actually by one of my colleagues. It's new (well to me) so it caught my eye. I also like i-tunes, but sometimes seeing stuff out makes you think of stuff you wouldn't have bought. <BR/>Kat that sounds like a good method.<BR/>Well Vanilla, I have to say that I prefer Printemp to Galaries Lafayette. I take ALL my visitors to Printemps for lunch!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533913253403252799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369146.post-52427942619655669952007-11-01T08:22:00.000+01:002007-11-01T08:22:00.000+01:00Nah, who needs salad when music is the food of the...Nah, who needs salad when music is the food of the soul (she said misquoting that Shakespeare fellow).<BR/><BR/>Right, now where are the shots of the interior of Galleries Lafayette and Printemps?<BR/><BR/>I think I need to pay another visit to Paris... sigh...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369146.post-70533016063288602162007-11-01T02:38:00.000+01:002007-11-01T02:38:00.000+01:00Here my favorite record shop is FYE.
