Suis moi jusqu'au bout de la nuit, jusqu'au bout de ma folie

Serge Gainsbourg et Anna Karina - "Ne dis rien"

...to discover a "new" song be the Beatles. I me mine is written and sung by George Harrison. A song about the ego-problematism and inspired by the Gita (religious text, hinduism): 

Perhaps subconsciously, the song also reflects Harrison's reaction to the clashes of egos in the Beatles' painful closing days as a group. - Wikipedia

... listen to great podcast with fun facts about 182 songs by the Beatles: 
NRK P1: " vår daglige beatles "


...to sit in my new favorite parc (square du temple) reading philosophy and spying on elegant parisians.

Le masque tombe, l'homme reste, et le héros s'évanouit

"Je suis venu pour te voler

Cent millions de baisers."

"L'amour sans philosopher

C'est comme le café

Très vite passé."

"Le soleil est rare

Et le bonheur aussi

L'amour s'égare

Au long de la vie."

"Si j'étais Dieu, je serais peut-être le seul à ne pas croire en moi."

Poète pour toujours - Serge Gainsbourg 

You can't stop years from drifting by even if you want to try

Though some may reach for the stars
Others will end behind bars
What the future has in store no one ever knows before
Yet we would all like the right to find the key to success
That elusive ray of light that will lead to happiness

Tomorrow is my turn
No more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn
When my luck is returning
All these years I've been learning to save fingers from burning
Tomorrow is my turn
No more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn to receive without giving 
Make life worth living
Now it's my life I'm living
My only concern for tomorrow is my turn

Now the summer is gone, there's another to come
You can't stop years from drifting by even if you want to try
Though time may help you forget all that has happened before
But honey it's too late to regret what is gone will be no more

Tomorrow is my turn
When my luck is returning
All these years I've been learning to save fingers from burning
Tomorrow is my turn
No more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn to receive without giving 
Make life worth living
Now it's my life I'm living
My only concern for tomorrow is my turn



Tomorrow is my turn - Nina Simone

Toujours un coin qui me rappelle...

 

Ma nouvelle robe numéro deux:  50s pencil dress

Je danse - donc je suis

Ma nouvelle robe!  A Gunne Sax 70s prairie revival dress! 

C'est bien mieux comme ça!

Woody

My hero (also known as Woody Allen) is in Paris at the moment. Really hoping to run over him at the local bakery...! 

But I guess he's not staying in my area, he's probably in St. Germain.

pom pom pidou...!

La basilique Sacre-Coeur

I actually liked this one! 

Eglise St. Eustache 

 Sacre-Coeur again

La Tour Eiffel... best seen from a distance. 

Great view over Paris from the centre Pompidou

And of course... I found a wonderful PINK magnolia tree on my way home. 

Quand les fleurs sont en promotion...

il est difficile de se limiter! 
Yes, I've bought 5 bouquets of flowers. Now my place looks more like a garden in full blossom than an apartment. 

But hey... spring's here.
