postcards from the week #3
sweet moments from recent days
i went to paris at the tail end of last week. it followed immediately after a huge work event, and after eight hours sleep across two days, so i felt pretty wretched on arrival. but, there is something satisfying about an early-morning journey that involves travelling through darkness to arrive at one’s destination at the start of the working day. i exited gare du nord at 9:30am and hot-footed it straight to mamiche, where i bought a divine cheesy bread stick that I devoured, moments later, on the pavement outside. these postcards from the past week are mostly from the weekend in paris.
got very into the passages of paris
details from walks around the city
this minimal (or unfinished?) corner on one of the monets at the musée de l’orangerie
lots of delicious food moments
this print, spotted at librairie super-héros, an excellent graphic novel shop a couple of doors down from where i stayed
the simple pleasures of a supermarket i am unfamiliar with; the photo in the middle is the butter aisle at la grande épicerie, and the photo on the right shows the selection of butter i returned with… still regretting not adding the maison bordier buckwheat butter to my haul
the unexpectedly futuristic restaurant at the top of the pompidou centre
details from chat et plateau by natalia gontcharova and portrait of madame m. by henri rousseau
whatever’s going on here
the life-changingly good evoo ice cream at folderol
my current easy-dinner obsession: shin ramyun with veggie mince, cheese and a fried egg
this line from the last devil to die by richard osman
footnotes
a very pleasing little film about how cranberries are harvested
footage from tokyo’s space out competition (why did no one tell me dissociating was a sport now?)
