Two weeks ago there was a lot of sun in Paris. We almost hit the 20°C mark, which after a long and cold winter was very exciting, for a while.
I was delighted to be able to open my windows at work - I love the fresh air and the feeling that I just might be able to skip outside at any moment (even though I feel a little like I'm chained to my desk these days).
The only problem with opening the windows is that I can hear someone in one of these buildings playing "I will always love you" every day. On repeat. At least 20 times a day. Very very very loudly. And the sound echoes around and around around the courtyard.
The grey skies came back last week and I wasn't able to open my windows. I am hoping that this week, as the weather gets nicer again, the mystery person will be over that song and will have moved on to something else. After all, it can't get worse than "I will always love you" over and over again, can it?
Please tell me it can't.
It could. It could be 'It's a small world' over and over again. The main reason why I will never take a job at Disney Land. Ever.
I'm thinking you need to hang your speakers out the window and blast Marilyn Manson, or something similar. Start a war. Go on, you know you want to.
We've got an old guy in our building (at home, not work, mind) who plays insanely loud marching music at 11pm and then falls asleep so it only stops when the CD does. Or LP, because I'm quite certain it has that vinyl record sound. Then, early the next morning he stands out in the courtyard and loudly talks about the price of potatoes.
I'm so not kidding, and I so wish I was.
Well, it depends, was it Whitney Houston or Dolly Parton?
@princesse - omg you might be right.
@aliented - I LOVE the "loudly talks about the prices of potatoes". That's awesome.
@vivi - the whitney houston version. I actually have the dolly one on my iphone ;) hehe.
Someone must have a broken heart to play over and over?
This winter has seemed to drag on perhaps because I was in Peru at the start and then went to NZ in the middle. Bring on summer!
Enjoy your books in the sun!
