Monday Afternoon/14/03/2022

It was such a nice sunny day, today! 🙂

I enjoyed this easy to breathe air without any moisture in it! 🙂

A bit before 2 PM a walked over to the Club. I spent there about 

an hour sitting in nice surroundings. It was a quiet day at the Club. 

Not many people go to the Club on Monday or Tuesday, for these are the days when the Bistro stays closed: So, no food is available on these days.

I liked to sit there for two hours in the afternoon with only a couple of drinks: First I had some cappuccino, and after about one hour I had a glass of chilled Riesling. 🙂

As a member of the Club, I paid only 4 Dollars for each drink! 🙂

While sitting there, I looked into one of my books from the Dapto Library:

A cute little book about Paris with beautiful photos on every page! 🙂

This booklet is called “Quiet Paris” and has 142 pages. 🙂

So that you may get an idea, what these pages are about, I copy, what it says about the content:

(Introduction, with no pictures, starts on page 6)

Museums starts on page 10

Libraries starts on page 22

Parks and Gardens starts on page 32

Places to relax 52

Places of Worship 62

Shops 72

Restaurants 88

Cafes 100

Bookshops 110

Galleries 122

Cultural Centres 130

Places to stay 136

Paris is such a beautiful city! 🙂

I have been there for a week in 1954 as a 19-year-old, and

absolutely loved then my time in Paris! 🤩

I loved it again 36 years later in 1990, when I was there with

Peter and 11 year old daughter Caroline! 🙂

I may sing now this German song about travelling:

“Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär

Und auch zwei Flügel hätt

Flög ich dort hin!

Weils aber nicht kann sein,

Weils aber nicht kann sein,

Bleib ich all hier! “

Ja, ich bleibe hier . . . .

Still, I do enjoy very, very much

looking at all these great photos 

about Paris! 😍

This afternoon, soon after 4 PM, 

I walked home with my rollator in

glorious sunshine!
