Great afternoon for wandering about looking at street art in the 13th. And of course found a few space invaders while I was at it. #spaceinvader #paris13

Visited the Pagoda in Paris as part of Asia Week Paris to look at some incredible art. The building is spectacular inside and out! Built by C.T. Loo nearly 100 years ago. #asiaweekparis #printempsasiatique #art #ctloo

The MΓ©dicis fountain at Jardin du Luxembourg - they built a duckling ramp so the ducklings can get out. Watch the mama duck glare at the tourists until they move, and papa duck keeping guard until everyone gets on the ramp! #paris #parisinthespringtime #ducklings

The concept of β€˜Your 5 A Day’ should extend beyond fruit & veg:

1 x star jump
1 x wave at a dog or cat
1 x favourite song at full blast
1 x croissant
1 x tell someone you love their outfit.

Adjust according to taste.

There’s a new Space Invader in my neighborhood!

I have found 296 invaders in six cities so far. Anyone else play?

Lainorama! Parisian yarn show in the 5th by the Pantheon. It’s in its second year, great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. #yarn #laine #paris #lainorama

Ha! Yes. Too often! But luckily I have been introduced to things I’d never would have found to knit that way too.

This language that we share
Judith Kingston
This heart I press it means
'ha!' and it means 'hi' and it means I see your pain or your joy
or I see you are out with friends and I like that or love that or wish I was there. It means I know this place or I got your joke or clever reference and it means look: we are alike, we share this, or it means I am clever too, like you.
It means I support you or you are beautiful or you made me laugh and sometimes it means hello, I am still here, I am still reading and we are still friends, although we haven't spoken for a while, I am still speaking this language to you, I am still sending you this heart.
