I must be in a food mood, winter coming and all that…
So instead of a video, I thought you might like a peek at things that I or people I was with have eaten and that I thought looked good at the time.
To have a closer look at the photos, all you have to do is either to click on the one you’d like to see or go to the flickr set here
Sorry to have upset a number of commenters 
with my gigantic spider photo.
I am not all that fond of spiders myself, to say the least.
But one thing I didn’t mention and that you may not know if you’ve never been to Paris and to the Tuileries gardens, is that these gardens are the gardens outside the Louvre. So the buildings you can see in the background are on rue de Rivoli and if you could look beyond the spider, you would see the buildings of Le Louvre, with the Caroussel in the foreground.
Taken in summer, the Tuileries, the Carrousel and Le Louvre
I have no idea if that spider is here to stay or if it’s a temporary exhibition, but believe me it is quite an incongruous sight in those surroundings.
As for the bird poop, years ago, I was walking in Cannes with my husband and suddenly felt something fall on my head, namely bird poop. I had rather longish hair at the time and it took a lot of shampoo to get rid of the horrid stuff. I can still remember my husband’s uncharitable snicker
For those of you who might not understand why a lot of Parisians are not so fond of birds, in spite of their charming songs, here is an example of what they do
This door ornament is practically covered with poop
On April 1st in France, people play tricks on their friends, teachers, etc… one of children’s favourite tricks being to hang paper fish onto people’s backs. You can also tell them an unlikely story and shout “Poisson d’avril” at the end, to acknowledge it’s a prank.
A year ago I made this mosaic, composed of fish photos, real or made of stone, taken in Paris or elsewhere, and posted it on flickr on April 1st
Poisson d’avril ! One man’s fish is another man’s poisson!
The mosaic was created thanks to fd’s Flickr Toys
Thanks to Kay, from Kay’s Thinking Cap who provided me with this great line!
I took this photo at Pont Alexandre III. It was absolutely freezing as you can see from the photographer’s clothes.
No wonder those models are so skinny, just working in this kind of weather makes you lose calories!
Today’s theme was hot, so several ideas came to my mind
On a hot summer day
hot poop strictly forbidden
Nothing like steaming hot food on a chilly day
