Abby came to visit the last week and left this morning. Honestly, when she left, it felt a little like we were leaving home all over again. And so now, it’s back to the 2 of us.
The weather’s been a hot 30 deg Celsius in the shade with little or no wind most of the time. Most folks are out in their berms and tank tops, knees and shoulders showing. We bought a fan the 2nd day after we arrived coz it’s impossible to sleep in the stillness of the air.
Today is the first official day of summer. All over Paris, folks are staying indoors, not to get away from the heat, but to be part of the World Cup fever in Europe. So like in Singapore, we also get moments of loud cheering and roars of “goal!” out of the blue every couple of hours, within a span of 90 min. It’s nice, I guess, feels kinda just like home. Only thing was that the night France and Korea tied, our neighbour looked out of the window and gave Kar Wai an unfriendly glare. Hmm…I guess we got ourselves another nationality to pass off as.
