The Cats Are a Bit Confused

Well, the furniture is gone and the flat is nearly bare. There are a few pieces of furniture left that the new tenants are buying, six suitcases, two very confused cats and a kitchen full of food. Our internet was down most of the day today and I was frantic trying to figure out what I would do after Flo left and I was alone in the apartment without a TV. But as you can see, Pipex came through for me and all is well. I was sorry to see Flo go. She was a huge help this weekend- packing, moving things, making sure the movers washed their hands after cigarette breaks, and generally keeping my mind off the fact that we're moving AGAIN. I don't know what I would have done without her.

The coolest thing we did while Flo was here was go to dinner at Dans le Noir? last night, where we dined in complete darkness. It was an amazing experience! All the wait staff are blind and they guide you into a completely dark room, take you to your seats, explain the lay-out of the table to you and leave you to your own devices when it comes to pouring your drinks and eating your food. We didn't know what we were being served and it was a lot of fun trying to figure it out based on taste alone. All our other senses were quickly heightened. Every time they brought new groups into the room, it sounded like they were shouting and every time a dish was brought to the table, everyone could smell what it was. It was a true sensory exercise and I would strongly recommend it to anyone visiting London or Paris (where it originated.)

Tomorrow is our leaving do, Thursday the cats leave and the cleaners come and we fly out Friday afternoon. We plan on writing our final blog from the airport on Friday. Until then- adios!
