I Love Paris!

Parisian Swagger

I love my job!

I rarely say that infact my job and I have a love hate relationship but I have just been on a business trip that has made me love my job even more. I have been travelling a lot with work a lot recently and just spent the loveliest 48hrs on Paris.  Normally when I got to Paris I don’t ever actually stop to take in the sights. I rush about from meeting to meeting and never stop enough to catch my breath but yesterday was different.  I got done with my meetings and had a little time to move around and really absorb the Parisian swagger. Blonde ladies with big hair and big fur coats walking ridiculously small dogs. Trendy twenty somethings with perfect hair casually reclining in wooden chairs on sidewalk cafes sipping on espresso. Rude and unfriendly taxi drivers zooming around at impossible speeds. The tree line boulevards and the amazing bread wine and cheese.  Last night I went to my favourite place Buddah bar
for dinner and cocktails.

A little bit of heaven on earth

And unlike most times I am in Paris I actually took the Metro this time which was great as I got to walk around a bit and I must say that there is definitely something very romantic about Paris at night.  Maybe it’s the little tree lined boulevards or maybe it’s the Arc de Triomphe bathed in moonlight, perhaps it was the Eiffel Tower last night twinkling away  draped in what looked like a million fairy lights - I don’t know what it was but last night I fell in love with Paris.  The architecture the whole vybe.

That coupled with the fact that I stayed in the most amazing hotel ever made it one of the best business trips I have had.  I stayed at the Sofitel Luxury hotel and boy was it luxurious it exuded quality and sumptuousness from the minute you step into the lobby and they hand you some hand made sparkling fruity cocktail thingy that you sip on casually whilst they check you in, the person that checks you in also carries your bags up to your room and takes you on a tour of the room showing you the various fixtures and features and checks to make sure that the room meets your requirements. Seriously when the dude put my bags down I almost burst out laughing.  Requirements?? I alsmost did a little jig of joy.  I love hotels in Europe because you get what you pay for -this hotel is mad expensive and the service reflects that.  Unlike the bullshit that I experienced in South Africa TWICE in different hotels during the past 12 months - in fact Sun City is probably the WORST HOTEL I have stayed in EVER (but thats another post)

The Hotel room - Luxury

Then there was the room……man!!  The bed was HUGE I think it was a queen size and it was the most comfy thing I have ever slept in. It felt like a water bed but wasn’t and was just lush. The room had ipod docking station, bose speakers, wooden desk, Hermes toiletries a bath tub big enough for 3 adults basically it was the shit!! And this morning I was driven to my meeting in a chauffer driven car complete with a dude in full chauffer kit and  nice little sweets in a chiffon bag tied in ribbon. I must say it was great being pampered. My meetings went really well - which is an added bonus so all my hard work over the past 10 months has paid off!

Things are going well with the Boy as well and we spent a lovely couple of days together last weekend (my birthday weekend) just talking watching DVD’s and generally getting to know each other better.  It was one of the best birthdays I have ever had.  I got loads of presents had a wicked B day party ( Super hero themed) and the boy gave me one of the best presents of all…he gave me intimacy

All in an all I  am very happy girl  I am back at uni and life seems to be moving in the right direction.  I just  need to get rid of  Voldemort who I am desperate to get rid off especially since he seems to be getting shadier and shadier KMT (kiss my teeth!!) honestly that man is working my last nerve and I don’t know how much more I can take! I also just want to be free to enjoy my new relationship with out any pre-existing bullshit.

Oh and before I forget for those of you who pray please join me in praying for the exoneration of Roy Bennett!
