Back from Paris

[altariel]

We got back from Paris late last night after a particularly lovely holiday spent eating and people-watching. We spent yesterday afternoon being touristy on an open-air sightseeing bus; unfortunately I forgot that just because it isn't warm doesn't mean the sun isn't working, so right now I look like a pink panda.

I have plenty of pictures, but right now I have to go and find someone to mend my washing machine, so here's one of a job agency just round the corner from our very swish hotel, specially for the 'Man of Iron' fans reading this...

Welcome back, looking forward to reading your full report when you get the time

Looking forward to report and pictures, especially of pink panda, who sounds peculiarly cute.

Pink panda will not be committed to JPEG, there are enough embarrassing photos of me around the internet... having said that, I suppose yet another one wouldn't do that much harm!

Thanks; we had a great time, although I don't feel like doing much work today. I'm pretending I'm waiting for the Olympics announcement before I do anything.

:-D

Your admirers want to know where it ranks in the league of embarrassing photos!

I think it's more impressive in the flesh. Love that icon.

Sadly, you can't really tell it's a banana...

No, I couldn't tell. But I like the "Your Fandom Needs YOU!" feel to it.

Welcome back, Ms Panda.

Dr Panda, please!

Welcome back! Hope to hear all the details anon.

Welcome home! A pink panda sounds very sweet. How's Mr A? Are you a matching pair?

Now I'm humming the theme from "The Pink Panther" - must be something to do with Paris.

He tans. Not fair.

YOU CAME TO PARIS AND DIDN'T TELL ME YOUR FLIST????

*sniffle*

Welcome back! I'm really glad it was such a lovely time. I hope Suzanne Vega was good, too.

Ouch to the pinkness!! I hope it's not too painful. :-(

Love the photo - well spotted!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I did, I did, I swear!

*kicks self, as tour bus drove down the Champs-Elysées twice yesterday*

We try to go fairly often. And will have more excuse/ease of travel once the Eurostar leaves from Kings Cross.

Thank you! Suzanne Vega was very good indeed; I'll try to write something meaningful tomorrow.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thanks! We had a great time. The pictures have come out a bit blue-washed, but I'll post them anyway.

Hurrah for happy hols!

So on a scale of Albertine rose to Welsh dragon, how pink are you? I hope it isn't too sore, though.

And I hope you get the washing machine sorted. Strangely enough, in all the predictions for the 2005, I don't remember any astrologer saying it will be the year the washing machines all die.

Yesterday I was Rudolf, today it's more music hall maquillage. It was sore yesterday (particularly on my arm), but a lot better today.

Our washing machines seem to have a ... I was about to say 'cycle', but that would be too awful... I use them far too much; they die far too frequently. A Man is coming tomorrow to make things right again, I hope.
