It’s already another week’s end. Even with the world at a standstill, I’m always awestruck at how time passes so quickly.
I’m thinking about my sister and Paris. She was supposed to have arrived in Paris today. I wrote to let her know I understand the disappointment of not being able to go. We both love Paris.
Just the thought of being in Paris makes me happy. I don’t know of many greater delights than weekend getaways to Paris. It wasn’t at all a fanciful idea when we lived in Zurich. In fact, we have enjoyed many visits to Paris by getting on the TGV and arriving four hours later at Gare de Lyon.
But as we won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, much less Paris, at least there are wonderful films to take us there, like Le Weekend.
The film is about a English couple in Paris to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary when their relationship ruptures. It’s funny, charming and bittersweet. Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan are great, but Paris is also just as good in a leading role.
Have a good weekend wherever you are. See you next week!
