Did some laundry. Actually, still doing laundry. This machine is one of those old fashioned drum kinds; I have broken about 3 of these in the past. This one has a dryer in it. As usual, washed and dried; needs more drying.
The trip from Oxford was just a little harrowing. Our hotel had ordered a taxi the night before but it didn't arrive. It was raining but we were lucky to hail a cab and get to the train station on time. Our cab driver was British and talked nonstop, mostly about how Bush and Tony Blair screwed up both countries and now, there's no turning back.
We took the train to Paddington, got a taxi to St. Pancras and got the Eurostar and got to Paris in under 2 and a half hours. Then we took a cab to the apartment. We have had it with dragging these suitcases on these narrow streets. The Eurostar was a little more comfortable than the trains we've taken before. It was packed. We kinda knew we had to go through security and passport check but forgot so of course, Lola beeped because she was wearing a fitbit. She had to be frisked.
This apartment is adorable. We're on the ground floor of a 5 story apartment building in a courtyard. There's a bedroom loft but you don't have to climb a ladder to get there; it has a round staircase with a pole in the middle to hang onto. There's a new pullout couch in the living room, and a nice kitchen and bathroom. Very nice. We're in Le Marais.
Many restaurants are closed on Mondays but we found a brasserie close to us and ate there. The Polish wait staff were French.
Wouldn't it just be easier to take your dirty laundry to someone who would wash it, dry it and fold it for you? Imagine what you could see with all that 'found time'!
ReplyDeleteWe don't take any time with it; we just start the machine and then leave for 3 hours. When we come back, we repeat the process.
