So in the last week or so, I have been to the sacre coeur twice, oh my god the stairs. Once to help a friend with her photography project (By help, I mean stand with her for a couple of hours incase someone harasses her) and again for drinks to say goodbye to a friend who is leaving Paris to go back to Winchester in England. 
Everyone is starting to leave, its very sad, but also kinda exciting, only16 days til my parents are here for our three week long adventure around europe. I wont lie, I'm kinda ready to be home now. I will miss this place for sure, but I miss my friends, parents, puppies and my bed. Oh god how I miss my bed...
Anyway...
Still filled with people, even at night. The Sacre Coeur glows on top of its hill.
Other things I've done this week. A few exhibitions, a picnic in the sun in Buttes Chaumont, Musee d'Orsay, and three eurovision nights. 
This shot is from Fauchon, pretty much the fanciest patisserie around. They are famous for their eclairs, so I bought two. I will definately have to take mum and dad here, the charcuterie part of the place looked amazing, and I want to try some of the other eclairs too.
The other Australian girl, who is lucky enough to have access to an oven, made pavlova for our picnic. Its good to have a little Australia in Paris, but I really miss baking now. I will have a month long bakefest at my place when I get back. I will need to fatten you all up by then.
Eurovision! We streamed the shows live, and I introduced the girls to the wonder that is eurovision. 
On Saturday night for the final Lauren cooked us blue cheese pasta that was amazing, and we played the eurovision drinking game. It wasnt too messy... 
Very disappointed with the winner though. We thought that Moldova, or Ireland should have won it. Probably because they were pretty ridiculous, but they were much better than the winning song. Tell me, do you know where Azerbaijan is? Because thats where the next contest will be held. 
Anyway, Tomorrow I am heading to Pere Lechaise cemetery to say hi to Jim Morrison and some others.  I have also booked to go into the Loire region for a day on friday. Trying to do as much as possible in these last two weeks, but I'm also so exhausted. 
Well theres my updates finally. Sorry it took so long. Hope you are all well!
Miss you!
a bientot!
