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! ^_^;

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 :)

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... :-)

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