castalieSince tradition says I have till the last day of January, I'm still on time to wish you all a Happy New Year. Hope 2010 will treat you well *kisses*
The weather has made me very happy this year (again) and I've seen snow more than once so far. And if the weather dudes and dudettes keep their promises, I should be even happier either tomorrow or the day after *fingers crossed*
Changing the subject except not; I don't think I mentioned it but I went to Normandie for a couple of days last week (rang in the new year there, actually) and we got snow! So, for the first time in my life, I saw a snowy beach. It was just a fine layer but snow! On the beach! *points below*
And this morning, Cookie and I had to be at the Panthéon-Sorbonne for a meeting and when we left, it was snowing! In ten minutes the ground was all white. It didn't last, alas, and it didn't snow again the rest of the day (though I'm totally hoping it will again between tonight and Friday) but it was still a pretty show. By 6.30PM everything had disappeared where we work, but the suburb being colder than Paris, we still have snowy surfaces in Choisy so yay!
Anyway. I'd taken my camera with me this morning (in case of snow) so here some pictures of
The fountain of St Michel - if you look closely, you might notice that the water is frozen. It's ice, not water there. Well, ice is water, but you know what I mean.
The Sorbonne place. You can catch a glimpse of the Sorbonne university in the background.
The Seine. And I'm afraid I forgot the name of that bridge *has shame*
Parvis of the Notre Dame cathedral.
The cathedral.
Again. I might be a bit in love with it.
Behind Notre Dame.
Pretty, isn't it? It was just a thin layer of snow here too, but I thought it sufficed to pretty the city up even more.
