Paris this week which explains lack of posts, people are very stressed and I’m just not used to it anymore. I can’t understand how (not why) I lived here for so long in my previous life!!

The Jardin des Plantes is beautiful at this time of year and they have two baby pandas in the zoo.

Of course I came across a Vietnamese “canteen” which served the most incredible “Bo Bun”: vermicelle noodles, cucumber, carrots, slices of marinated beef and sliced “nem” spring rolls, it’s a meal in itself and for just a few Euros.
