On our way to the Musée du quai Branly, not a cloud in the sky!
I know! The lyrics aren’t exactly the way Cole Porter wrote them, but back in March when I first started this post it was sizzling here in Paris. The weather went from cold in February to hot in March and it felt more like summer than springtime! Things are back to normal in April and Patrick and I decided we wanted to take advantage of Paris this year. Last year we were so busy the year went by before we knew it!
Hélène’s theater troupe, La Compagnie du Passage.
Afterall, Paris offers so much….theaters, concerts, restaurants, museums - I mean the list goes on and on and we’ve been trying to do our share! We saw Hélène’s performance at a small theater and Claire’s concert at a supper club where we dined and danced! It was in this tiny underground club in Montmartre listening to the Klez Band that I ran into an old friend, Paul, who I hadn’t seen for over twenty years!!! He lived in the apartment below me in the Cour Saint-Pierre. There were a few others (Eric and Jennifer) there that night as well. Jennifer was just a baby when she first arrived in the Cour Saint-Pierre!
Dancing in Montmartre.
Claire and The Klez Band performing.
We’ve been to a few nice restaurants that I’m hoping to find the time to write about and we went to see the film The Artist
Maya Muses: What I really need is another 12 hours added to each day to do everything that I want to do (like write more posts on my blog) and I’ll be fine!
They say as we get older time passes more quickly. Strange phenomenon, but so true! April in Paris - lovely, but Uncle Sam making us file our taxes (yes, we still have to even though we reside in France) doesn’t help! Have to run!

You’re not alone with the tax thing - Richard says our will be ready…..but of course it will be at the last minute.
If you find a way to add hours to the day, PLEASE let me know…they are desperately needed by me as well. In the meantime, just try to make a point to do some fun things - and of course spend a few minutes to tell us about it!

Isn’t it always at the last minute? That’s the only way to do them!!!
I’m still looking for those hours, but I’ll let you know! (Btw, Patrick says hi and how did your macarons turn out?)

One batch of macarons was OK. I need to get back into that groove again!
Just discovered that you have a post office near the Louvre that stays open nearly 24hrs/day. But I’m sure you’ll be sending in your taxes electronically.

I loved The Artist. I wasn’t too crazy about going to see a silent movie in b&w, but I’m glad I did. Don’t mean to be repetitive, but I too could use a few more hours to my day and a couple more for sleep while I’m at it.

Harriet, thanks for the info. It’s always good to know that there’s a post office open 24/7, but you’re right, I do usually file electronically.
Cid, nothing wrong with repetition. As a matter of fact, I felt exactly the way you did! Patrick and I weren’t too excited about going to see a silent film in B&W either, but we were happy we did as well!
