Madame Blin having a beer on the Place des Vosges; her friend at Notre Dame; la Place des Vosges itself, with spring trees.
The little apartment here has shutters. Every morning, I open the shutters, pushing them back to see the day, and every night, I pull them shut them again. There is something primal about opening and shutting shutters.

Venez, les amis.
