Hello. It is sunny today and very cold. Mummy wanted to go skiing as it is the end of the season - lifts close at the end of March - snow is great, and we won't be able to go many more times. I said I wanted to go...then I said I didn't want to go...then I said I did want to go again. But by that time I decided for the second time that I did want to go, we had already told daddy we were going for a walk in the woods near Neuchâtel and going for lunch in the centre afterwards, and he was excited about that idea. So we couldn't then turn round and disappoint him.
Last weekend we went to Paris. It was nanny Barbara's birthday treat as she was seventy on March 7th. I'm not sure how old seventy is but I think it's a bit older than mummy and daddy. I shared a bedroom with nanny Barbara, which was great as she was really quiet and didn't snore at all. I said I loved her a lot but loved her even more when she gave me presents.
We visited the Eifel tower. I knew what it looked like already because I'd seen it in Superman 2. Superman saved Lois Lane, who was stuck in the lift. The lift was broken and was shooting very fast down the tower. I was a bit disappointed that the lift we went in did not go in the middle of the tower but up the front left leg, and it wasn't fast at all and it didn't break off and fall down the lift shaft very quickly like in the film. Also, no sign at all of Superman. Or Lois Lane. And we had to queue up for a whole hour to get on the lift. I did balancing tricks on the barriers and stared at the other children, but we did not speak to eachother. Only eyeballing. When we got up high we could see the whole of Paris. And some pigeans that were pooing.
We went on lots of trips on the boat but sometimes we had to wait for a bit. Mummy said the timetable was wrong so the boats did not come at the times we expected from the programme they gave us on the boat. There were lots of big bridges with carved lions heads and ugly faces that mummy said were gargoyles.
Paris was lovely but I got told off in the Champs y lysee for running away. I wanted to go on top of the Arc de Triumph but daddy said no. We went a long way on the underground train and mummy told me not to make comments about fat people or people with things wrong with their faces. On the day we flew home we played in the Jardins de Tuileries and had a croque monsieur. I like them. So did I like Paris? Yes.
Today we are invited to evening meal at Lisa and Heinz's in Muntelier near Murten. They have a nice big house and I like playing with Angie, their daughter, who is the same age as me. She has a sister called Lexi. Last summer we played at Angie's by the river and mummy was so busy trying to stop us falling in that she fell in herself. That was very funny.
