This is a place holder post. When I have better internet, I’ll be posting a normal blog post. Adieu for now, merci!

Now I understand why the song was written!

Place holder for blog post. Come back next month for complete post. Merci.

Since like all humans I am limited to the normal life span here on earth, I’ve had to make an executive decision regarding my blog. For some reason I cannot figure out, my internet in Paris is not working correctly. It takes hours to upload even a few photographs, not to mention videos. So, beginning today, each new blog post will be a mere place holder for the topic under discussion. At a later date, when I have normal internet speed again, I will update and elaborate on each post. Until then, here’s the exhibition in Paris at the Petit Palais on the Italian Belle Epoche painter, Giovanni Boldini.

I will only say that it seems fitting that Boldini was one of the first exhibitions I attended in Paris, seeing as how he came from Florence!

My technology is not working well in its new home. My posts may be fewer and further between. Bear with me, please!

I love riding the #6 train across Paris and it is always a show, complete with music, views and actors. All the world’s a stage indeed!

First up, look at the left image in the metro stop below. Amazon Prime Video, flattening the world, one show at a time. And Netflix as well.

There are a few of these interesting kiosks in the Latin Quarter (and elsewhere?) that sell home services such as plumbing, painting, moving, electrics, dog walking. Cool idea.

It must be the 60s again, judging from the spring 2022 fashions I see! I like it!
