Random memes and the meaning of life..


At Richard Lenoir Market in the 11th arrondissement

Well I've been tagged for 2 memes over the past few days so I better get to down to business. I'll post the second one shortly. The meme that Clare has tagged me with is to select the 5th sentence from your 23rd post and ponder its meaning.
My 23rd post is found way back in May, when I was still living in Heidelberg, Germany and grumbling about the rainy weather.
My 5th sentence reads:

The problem is, everything is closed on Sundays, so if you have no food in the fridge on Saturday, you have little choice but to brave the weather.

Now to ponder its meaning. I'm sure there is a clue to the meaning of life hidden somewhere amongst those words, but it may take a great philosopher to decipher it, and I am no such philosopher. Now that I have moved from Heidelberg to Paris, I no longer face the problem of having nowhere to buy food on Sundays. So if its raining on a Saturday, I could, if I wanted to, not leave the apartment at all, and just stay on my couch all day feeling contentedly lazy. In fact, in Paris, I'm blessed with a rather large street market on Sundays just a short walk from my apartment. Aside from that, I live in Le Marais, which is bustling with open shops even on Sundays.
Ok, so now I understand what that sentence really means. Michele is really, really happy to be in Paris.

Anything that is a vehicle for more of your Paris pics from your camera!! Is good for me!

You are definitely very lucky with your chic new digs - and I'm sure I can speak for a few of us by saying that we've loved coming along with you for the journey!

Hmmm... I think if I were in the same situation with nowhere to shop on Sundays, I'd complain, too. I'm glad it's different for you now. ;-)
