SPRING!
There are many reasons I like being in Paris. I like that you can walk for just half an hour and already take in 5 of the worlds most beautiful and famous landmarks.
I like that there is a bistro, Chez Janou, literally outside my house, where I am writing this now.
I like that in Paris, even the beggars are stylish. A lady came to me on the street recently to ask for money, wearing the most fabulous sparkly trainers. I suggested she sell them first of all.
I like visiting different worlds, infiltrating other cultures, other industries, anything I know nothing about.
On that note, this morning I went to an early screening of the movie I made a tiny contribution to by playing the violin solos on the soundtrack. At 10am on a beautiful sunny day we sat in a darkened screening room, in the most comfortable seats you never saw in a cinema. The producer, director, composer and several others sat with pens and paper while the film rolled, and everyone made lots of intelligent comments afterwards, except me as I couldn't think of any.
The movie was fantastic I thought- but brutal and violent, so much so that I spent a large proportion of it squeezing the wonderfully cushioned arm rests of my seat.
It was most peculiar, watching these graphic and disturbing scenes through gritted teeth, only to be greeted by the sounds of my violin playing to accompany the misery. It is a nightmare I'm sure I've actually had- witnessing something diabolical whilst my violin provides the soundtrack.
Eerie.
