"La plus grand faible des hommes, c'est l'amour qu'ils ont de la vie."
[Man's greatest weakness is his love of life.]
This is the inspiration for my blog (with a little kick from the oh-so-wise Lteed to get it going)
I hope to be so weakened by my love of life for the next 4 months that I will get to stay just a little longer and test out that quality French healthcare...
Until then, I'm armed and ready with a single suitcase that is have-to-bounce-up-and-down-on-it-to-get-it-closed packed with vitamins, memory box favourites and my best attempt at Parisian attire.
Despite my usually vivid imagination I'm still struggling, with just hours to departure, to believe that this is actually happening! I think its because I'm in for something so wonderful it's outside the sphere of my current scenario-making abilities. We shall soon see!
P.S. If you were wondering about the title 'Window to Paris' , its the translated name of my family's favourite Russian comedy, which I've seen so many times I can quote the French parts, Russian parts and English subtitles! So I guess if I ever get jittery with my french I can just toss out some lines to save the day/ thoroughly confuse whoever I'm talking to..
