Autumn in Paris…. as opposed to spring in Paris? Anyone willing to catch up and stroll around the city and have a long weekend? Now? I am kinda blue or bleu now with the trees “naked” and birds all have gone south leaving us with angst that one can’t really put a finger on but it’s sure there. We know it will be yet another survival mode for the next five months or so. It will be cold, expensive, and bright white if we are lucky. And grossly dirty and gray if the weather keeps changing as if unable to make up its mind. And dark, damn dark. The moment you wake up for work or school if you are commoner and go to work and/ or school, then it’s still dark. The moment you get out of office or school to go home it’s ALREADY dark. In general the daylight comes at about 9 in the morning if lucky. And goes at about 15 or 16. Yes, when we are truly lucky we have SUN!!! One year I counted the days we did not have sunlight at all, I got 27 days straight. Darkness. And you wonder why we are the “leaders” in suicide. In addition to being poor we sit in the darkness for half of the year being unable to feed oneself or kids. Ah, and we are leaders in alcoholism aswell, together with Finland I guess. The only difference with Finland is that they can afford booze as their salaries are roughly four times higher. They joke about themselves being the happiest people in the world. You know why they are the happiest? Because the sad ones ended their lives through heavy drining or other handy means and they could not have been asked about happiness. That’s purely according to finns. I didn’t make that up. If you come to see true finn you will know instantly how happy they are :). If you get close enough. 

So I am trying to cheer myself up with visualizing next trip to Paris or Nice or even London. Tho England now figured it will collect some cash for the “visa” from everyone because they realised the Brexit was one stupid decision and they are almost bankrupt. So every visitor, including one in transit, needs to pay for online declaration/ visa starting next April. They found millions laying about, true that. Bastards :). But even more reason to go now for some Xmas spirit! 

Anyone cares to join in for weekend in Paris? Or even better, treat that poor chick from darkness to a lovely weekend in Paris? Haha!, I think I will do the highly popular “japanese old man rental” but with erm, middle aged ladies rental. You can choose from catalogue either you want cultural, sporty, etc lady and rent her for day or week. Stricly professional. In Japan you can rent a handyman even. Or a man who just listens you while you yap about any topic whatsoever…. I can list handywoman too, you know, to clean or cook or…. I will look up the pricelist for Japan. Europe would be a tad cheaper for sure. But you would have to pay logistics costs :)))

Anyways, so, if you want to rent me for a weekend in Paris, to listen you yapping, discuss arts, languages, travels, etc, you might want to book in advance:

La Renommee on 95th Saint Honore

or Bouillon Chartier on Montparnasse

I am all ears!
