Life in about 75 Ways: Paris (Bastille Weekend) Edition
So just a brief history, back in 2009, I wrote a list called "Life in about 75 ways" and it was all about the quirky things that the relationship between Elly and I consisted of. This time, we were in Paris with her sister, Sarah, and things once again got pretty cute. Most of it will be in jokes - but we were there for 4 nights and I can't be arsed writing a detailed post about it. I know it has taken a long time for me to update this blog - without a computer life is limited! My word! But here I am now in Croatia, sunpashed (because sunkissed just doesn't cut it) and having a well deserved afternoon siesta with access to a Mac (oh baby I love the way your keys respond to my touch).
