The ceiling had a painting on it in our room in France

This week I have some particular things to look forward to: on Thursday night I finally get to see Suzanne Vega in concert; one of my favourite singer-songwriters. Straight afterwards we hop onto a train to spend the night in London, so that we can get to Waterloo very early on Friday morning to catch the train to Paris.

The past few weeks I have been reading essays by and about Simone Weil. Are there any places in Paris connected to her that people are aware of that I could visit? (She is buried in Ashford; what a pity Redemption isn't there any more.)

Mmm, Sorbonne, where she studied?
Maybe someone else knows more! ^_^;

Good idea - thanks!

Sounds fabulous! In London, I used to walk to work every morning through Waterloo station, and would always feel envious of people waiting for the Eurostar.

Can't help with Simone Weil, I'm afraid, but I hope you have a wonderful time :)

The train leaves at 6.30am on Friday, which might you feel a bit less envious... but then it does go to Paris!

Thank you! We'll be there from Friday to Tuesday, hurrah!

Much envy from here about both Suzanne Vega and Paris! Have a lovely, lovely time, both of you.

And I hope Mr A sleeps better than in the song... :-)

So do I! Or that if there are any angelic visitations, I get to see them too.

Enjoy the concert (*envies you*), and la belle France too.

Thank you :-) We only just got tickets, I'm really glad we're managing to fit in seeing her with going away.
