i have a lot of junk from france now, living here and all. it's funny, when i first arrived, i decided i wouldn't do any gift shopping or souvenir shopping, because i was staying here for aaages and could do it later. i didn't want to rush into buying things, because i knew that i'd just keep buying more things, in my compulsive-spontaneous way, and end up with loads of crap to carry home.
after about a week i felt like i'd been here forever. i'm dreaming in french. and i quickly fell into a routine, quickly became a regular and a familiar face in my places. but last week when i started packing, i felt like i'd only just arrived. only just arrived and been here forever.
i'd maybe like to live here, perhaps. we might be selling my home in england anyway. i think i'd probably die of boredom if i spent too long here, but then again everything is so utterly beautiful. i could spend a year decorating and redecorating my house. hastily buying gifts today (somehow lost that 'aaages' and ran out of time), i wanted to buy everything. all the funky crockery, the stunning candles, the retro mirrors, the beautiful french books - they even have chinese and japanese fairytales translated - the clothes are so cool, the everything...
sigh...
two more days in laval, a night in paris, and back to london.
i want to stay and go.
