Off to France? I feel like that was awfully fast.

There was also this. I’ve been so overwhelmed lately.

Also, deep in Mac / PC keyboard confusion again. Blerg.

  1. Trop rapide car je ne l’ai pas rencontré.

        • You have to keep in mind that I lived in Texas for a long time, and it’s about the same size as France (although, of course, many Texans believe Texas is a country, not a state).

          To be fair, I’ve only seen Paris, Burgundy, and Alsace. I know there’s a lot more.

          • Ces 3 régions ont beaucoup d’attraits. La France vous tend ses bras pour d’autres aventures et découvertes.
            Fini les “Blerg!”
            Un clavier d’ordinateur en bois de bambou est peut-être la solution. Simple et facile d’usage donc pratique, car sans fil, il suffit de connecter la clé USB à l’ordinateur ou à l’unité centrale pour travailler.
            Par dessus tout, le bois de bambou est plus écologique que d’autres bois car le bambou pousse très vite et sain. Le bois de bambou étant doux et léger, toucher ce clavier en bois naturel est très agréable .
            Le bambou est un bois antibactérien. Le clavier restera propre, fini les bactéries, car ce bois est anti-transpirant.
            Un excellent cadeau pour les grandes occasions! 🙂

            • One thing I have appreciated about Europe, which is also very true of France, is the strong distinctiveness of the regions, and particularly as it affects foods and CHEESE!

              I did not know there were bamboo keyboards. Good to know!

              • Mon fils adore son clavier et la souris en bambou. Pour ma part, je les trouve très beau et d’odeur envoutante, reste que mes doigts de vieille dame trouvent les touches rebelles et dures de manipulation.

  2. Richard tweeted shortly after the IG post that they were off to Paris for the final week of filming. So at least we have a better idea of location and timing. Anxious to see the finished project!

    • I love Paris in the springtime. Although I’ll be staying in Wisconsin for the foreseeable future.

  3. What is it again, a three-parter? Hm, sounds quite fast for that.
    As for Mac/PC confusion – my commiserations on that. Hopefully you get used to the new system, soon.

    • I’m going to have both, so it will just be a matter of constant dislocation for a while. Touch typing is a useful skill, but the confusion in the bottom row under my left hand is really annoying.

  4. Hopefully the release date will zoom near too. I’m worried that Netflix will cancel Damages like it did Meghan Markle’s animation! (Although I doubt it.)

    • I think the animation projects they canceled were still in development. There almost done filming this, so it would be a huge waste of money to quit now. Although when I read about all the troubles at the company I found myself thinking that Armitage has not tended to have great luck professionally. Just when he gets an “in” there, cuts become likely.

  5. I thought the same thing when I saw on Indira Varmas SM that she seemed to have finished filming this some days ago.

  6. Maybe a weekend Paris trip is due…
    Good luck with the Mac /PC keyboard confusion. It would irk me too.

  7. Oh, I forgot: it seems to be a wrap already in Paris! So we may be too late for a Paris encounter.

  8. Mac /PC keyboard confusion … rings a bell here 😦
    Was hacked and shut out of FB yesterday and every try to fix it with FBs online tools just ends up a ‘cul de sac’ hahaha, just noticed that this just goes well with the ‘damage’ theme of your post 😉
    In other news I just moved the blog from WP.com to WP.org, well sort of, because the old one created a pretty export file, which the new one refuses to import … blerg indeed. I think I’ll try again once we’re back from Germany where we’ll be heading to on friday. At least Andalucia was worth all the trouble beforehand and after 2 and a half months we’ve sort of found our feet. Our spanish is improving and we had a very drunken invitation – or more like an initiation? haha again – at our french-british neighbour’s place on good friday of all days … while procession after procession walked by playing the most intriguing music. Of course we were all joking ‘Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!’ and at around 2am we were all dancing to Kate Bush’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ using our most dramatic gestures.
    So you see, I’m still out here somewhere 😉 good luck with the MAC/PC probs

    • I’m glad at least Andalusia is cooperating. I always felt like Spanish was a rewarding language. It was much easier for me than German.

      • Yes, at least in the beginning it seems not that complicated. I’ve also had latin and french back at school and know enough Italian to get food 😉
        So a lot of words are similar which makes it easier. The main problem is the local dialect in Andalusia 🙈
        Example: a coffee with a lot more milk than coffee, is called ‘cafe manchado’. They completely leave out the ‘d’ when speaking so that it sounds rather portuguese ‘manchao’. A term like ‘feliz año nuevo’ is pronounced ‘feliaño’. Well, I guess we’ll manage in the long run 😉

        • I’m sure you will. I had a friend whose parents were from Cuba and they don’t really say their “s”. Eventually I didn’t even notice.
