Just when I thought it was going to start getting warmer, the exact opposite happened. The temperature has plummeted and it’s snowing again. It’s 3:30pm and it’s –1C. Ouch!
I guess I acted a little hastily when I put away the heater last week.

It looks [...]

The great thing about the recent freezing weather was the snow that came with it. Unfortunately it only really snowed on one day and it didn’t last long on the ground. I had hoped it would snow again so I could go out and take lots of photos of Paris under the snow but it [...]

I slept in until 1pm. Had cream cheese on baguette for lunch, washed down with a delicious glass of Redbull. Not much else to do but play tourist in the City of Lights.
The only mildly entertaining event of the day was seeing Le [...]

Every now and then I have to send money to my British bank account. I do this by wire transfer and it usually takes 24 hours to go from my Australian bank account to the British one. Last week I had to wire some money to a company in Israel and again, that took 24 [...]

France vs Austria | Stade de France
Filed Under France | Leave a Comment
I never imagined I would find myself at a soccer football match but last week I made my way out to Stade de France to see France vs Austria. I booked the tickets a few months ago, more than anything just so I could say I’ve been to a football match, but also because F [...]
