That sounds so positive, Petite. Keep looking forward.

Hope you’re having a lovely day off.

That’s the way to go. Face forward, one foot in front of the other, when you’re least expecting a good thing, you’ll be sure to find it. Just have to keep living to get there!

Go see the Magritte (works on paper) exhibition at the Musee Maillol. I was in Paris last weekend and never made it (because of nasty gastric flu bug – spent most of saturday night and sunday in bed at the Hotel Califonia) so perhaps you can tell me all about it.

Now I’m back in Blighty and wishing I were back in Paris (but without that dreaded bug!)

Have fun whatever you do!

Mr Frog doesn’t mind taking it on the chin for you. He’s not biter, and is concerned with your well-being, as well as that for Tadpole.

It’s good that you are not being weighed down by circumstance, that you are seeing clearly, and that the charms of le printemps came at just the right moment…

btw, I tend not to click *in* your eye when posting a comment, but rather in the eyebrow area. :]

Why do coke feel the need to make it coffee flavoured? Lemon flavour I understand, but fizzy coffee!!?? Ah I love Coca Cola a bit too much.

It’s hard not to read this and feel that you’re reading a novel. Particularly when you’re being so brave about your breakup (I’d be a wreck) and Mr Frog is so supportive (I’d be gloating not a little). Maybe in Paris people are nicer than in London!

kids are so open and amazingly direct.. how easily her feelings spilled and shared in her need is so surprizing and shocking

“. . . not so much as a backward glance.”

You have managed something even Edith Wharton, one of the stronger women I knw of, could not (A Backward Glance is the title of her memoir).

You wrote movingly of your pain, and now you write movingly of your growing strength. And children are a balm for just about any woe I know of.

Enjoy the spring.

*adopting proud mummy voice*

I think Tadpole is actually quite gifted. A teacher saw one of her pictures and said it was worthy of a six year old. And she can write her name.

Mind you, according to my mum, I could read at her age!

You’re never alone with that Tadpole – and Paris, you make it sound like somewhere I’d actually like to be!
