Travel Post: Paris and the Subterranean Weekend
On Saturday, the floods having retired somewhat (I sent out a dove to check), I decided it was time to start my proper underground exploration of Paris. And with garbage strikes allegedly over, but rubbish nonetheless still piled high on…
Travel Post: Paris, with Bois de Boulogne, Saint Denis, and some museums

Catherine Day and High Tea at the NGV
It lives! Once again, I am emerging briefly from the insanity that is my work this year to give this whole blogging thing another try. I suspect that this will be a one-off again, as my next event is only…
