Melting it out in Paris

My weekend is arriving early, so technically tonight was my last night this week of kids and dinners and dull evenings. Tomorrow my Granny is arriving (again) to Paris and has booked us into a hotel! And this time I will ignore the urge to get very excited and run round the room, and instead take photos of anything and everything. :D But, before that, here's my own hotelier-skills on show here, bienvenue chez Connie! And yes, William seems to expect this every morning, despite the fact he doesn't come down half the time... Maybe next week he'll be demanding for morning newspapers and wake-up calls?

Today was another meltingly-sunny day, and I spent the morning walking around Chatelet on another Space Invader search, before meeting Catie and her friend for Starbucks, a chat, and a walk around Chatelet. A very pleasant morning, and she showed me the upstairs of WHSmith's in Paris - I cannot believe, that all this time, I didn't realise that Bisto Gravy Granules were right under my nose - upstairs at Smiths. It was amazing... There were just shelves of such NORMAL foods, but it was so exciting because I hadn't seen them for ages! Heinz Baked Beans (sparse in France), Bisto, Oxo, Ambrosio/Birds Eye Custard and Angel Delight (Hell, i don't even like those two but it was just such a delight to see them!) and things like McVities biscuits, Curly Wurley's, Peanut Butter, Dr. Pepper drinks... I couldn't believe it!! And all this time I've been begging people to post me gravy granules... 

It was a nice 'wander', and I spotted more Invaders on the way...

 

  

So I am very much looking forward tomorrow! :) Next mission: Light packing...
