castalieI wanted snow in Ile-de-France (Paris and its suburb), didn't I? I got my wish! It started snowing at noon and it hasn't stopped. I was pretty excited, though also a bit worried because you know how it is in cities where snow has been absent for years... it just has to snow, say, 5cm and everything is paralysed. I crossed my fingers real hard all afternoon so that the way back home wouldn't prove too difficult... and it went better than I feared. Twas a bit epic and I did wonder whether I would have to pull a Bear Grylls at one point and wear my socks over my shoes to stop me from slipping, but I was spared the indignity of that method so YAY :-p I'm just glad I'm not driving, though. It looked a bit too apocalyptic for my taste.
Also, because we're still not that used to getting a lot of snow in December around here, our concentration was pretty much shot to hell this afternoon *cough* Who needs shiny objects to distract them? Fluffy, white objects falling from the sky is more than enough!
I wish I'd been able to play hookie today, I'd have gone to Saint Michel and taken photos of the neighbourhood: Notre-Dame, the Panthéon, the Luxembourg garden... it must have looked gorgeous, all white and wintery *loves winter*
And it doesn't have anything to do with the above, though one could say the news were a bit like Christmas before Christmas; the FP will be seeing My Chemical Romance again in March 2011 ! They're coming back to Paris! This is nothing short of a miracle... we'll have seen them twice in one year! Well, if there's no problems and we can get the tickets on Friday, that is *is ready*
