Paris in New York

One of my new favourite passe-temps is drinking a glass of wine, listening to an old school French radio (Nostalgie) that I discovered during a road trip around Europe in 2006 (falling in love with chanteuses like Edith Piaff and Charles Aznavour all over again), and writing.

A nerdy/odd way for a 23-year old to spend Friday evenings. But, hey, if it lets me get my work done, then I'm not complaining.

Tonight's wine was given to us by a friend. Some red that's a bit sour and is already giving me a headache. And I've had less than 1/4 of the glass. Oh cheap wine that sucks - why do people buy you?

I was at a party in Staines a few months back. Waste of time and someone next to me said "Eugh this wine is off" and then accidentally tipped his glass all over me! I stank of gone-off-wine all the way back:

Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.


By the way thanks for dropping by my blog and the comment about my book. It's basically all my early stuff out of the way - I can now move on to other higher things (read fish to fry). I can email you a pdf version if you wish.

Seriously? How horrible.

I would love to read the book. My email address isn't on the blog, and I can't seem to find one on yours...
