Back to work...

So it is scorching weather, at least for May in Paris, the sun is shining and most of Paris is just ending a five-day weekend. Not many countries oblige their people to work as little, and everyone is surprised that the economy is in such a state...

Enough politics, though I will probably cave in to the pressure and have to talk about Carla Bruni (I mean Sarko, wait, which one is the president again....?) at some point. My dearest F and I are currently debating moving to London, which is where I grew up, for the same reason everyone moves to London, the money... But of course the problem with that is giving up the relaxed, we get five-day weekends and work 35-hour weeks (I wish) lifestyle... This of course is the reason that people move to Paris. That and the food, oh, and the fact it is probably the most beautiful city in the world, and did I mention the food...?

So back to the question at hand... London vs Paris... In terms of people, London wins. Not only are our beloved JJ there, but all our friends in Paris seem to be leaving. There are only C and P that will be here on a regular basis: some of you are going to be leaving for new jobs (S, we can't wait for our Hidden Kitchen experience...) some to go to sunnier climes and some are simply going home... The long and short is that there are more people in London that we would count amongst our good friends, oh, that and the fact that parisians are really difficult to get to know, whereas Londoners are very friendly.

But then Paris wins hands down on pure aesthetics, and I love a good pure aesthetic!! Not to mention transport, and size. How many people in London can say they don't have to spend more than 30 minutes to get to work...?

But then again there is the money, and with a wedding to be working towards, not to mention a down-payment once we are married... Well let's just say that the money is certainly a major factor, as for most of us...

I will leave it there for tonight, but

until next time dahlings, that was me...
