Work had to be done on the transformer in our building and so (we were warned well in advance) we had no electricity for the better part of the day. I planned my day accordingly - no sitting around as the condo got cooler - I had a list of things to accomplish and warm places to visit. A bowl of café au lait accompanied my lunch at Duc de Lorraine, a pastry shop that has been around since 1952. It has a very French (from France) atmosphere.
This fellow was my lunch mate. He stood there and watched me eat.
The electricity came back sooner than expected, but I had more on my list of things to do - coffee with my son. Near where he lives they have opened a small Christmas market with outdoor fireplaces - a great place to warm up. By the time I returned home the building was warm and welcoming.
That was good to have a sweet mate with lots of white curled beard.
ReplyDeleteI like him and such a lovely fire place!
