28/04/2024. Good morning from Paris, the photographs this week will be looking back to when I visited the railway museum in Mulhouse, in March 2022. Oh to have lived in a time when rail travel looked like this, I would love to have had a trip seated in a compartment like this.
I am writing this from Sainte-Antoine hospital where my treatment should have started yesterday, unfortunately, when I arrived a nasal swab identified a respiratory infection and so I am receiving treatment for that first. I have had a CT scan today and the doctor reported that all looked good.
I spent a full day in the hospital in Troyes on Monday, I had to have a transfusion which was supposed to be platelets but my blood test revealed that the platelets were ok but that haemoglobin levels were low so that was the transfusion. Then sitting waiting for the taxi to arrive for the return journey all eats into the time away from home.
I also had a telephone call from this hospital advising that instead of arriving on Thursday I was to arrive on Friday, the reason being that Friday was originally to put a PICC line in, however, as I already have one there was no point in arriving a day early.
I had visits from Nadine, Monique and Anie all wishing me well for the treatment. Darcy in America messaged to say they are coming back to France and can’t wait to see me when I get home. There is a long way to go before I arrive home again but I am taking it all one day at a time.
I am sure you know by now that my garden means a lot to me, so I was disappointed that the iris hadn’t started to flower and I will miss them again this year. The good news is that the ten primulas I bought way back in February have all been accounted for, yes even though some looked almost dead they benefited from being pushed into pots or the potager. I have now potted them on into bigger pots hoping that when I get home they will have grown more.
I am sad that there are no beans, peas, lettuce, beetroot, tomato or strawberries planted this year. I really enjoyed tending to those plants and even though there were not lots of the produce I felt proud to have grown it. Never mind when I get home I may be able to get some produce started.
“The Trainee Solicitor” has had a new lease of life, as another member of staff joined the team and this meant he could be away from the front desk and upstairs doing his own work. What a change there was in him. Unfortunately the new staff member only works part-time so he did have two days on the front desk!
“The Reconnect Navigator” must have “broken in” the DM’s as I haven’t heard of any more damage to her feet. She has had some new aspects to her work but all in all faces up to the challenge.
“The Photographer” and “The Jetsetter” had a day in London. They were going to the theatre in the afternoon but walked for miles taking in sights too. It’s interesting that I would willingly go to Paris for a day and yet when I lived in the UK I would not have entertained going to London for a day. The journey takes roughly the same amount of time but London is not a place I find welcoming which I do with Paris.
Looking to the music this week, I have found (one) of my favourite songs by The Rolling Stones its “Miss You” from 1978.
The second song is back to 2010, yes just round the corner of your mind, it’s by Maroon 5 and it’s “Moves Like Jagger” ft. Christina Aguilera.

This photo shows the cutlery, crockery and the silverware from the Presidential train. How refined!
So I wish you well for the week ahead and “inshallah” I will be back again next week.

SAINTS FOR MARCH 13
ST. CHRISTINA OF PERSIA, MARTYR, she lived during the third century and was the daughter of a rich and powerful magistrate believed to have been named Urbain. He was deep in the practices of heathenism and had a number of golden idols, which he distributed among the poor. Mar. 13
ST. SABINUS OF HERMOPOLIS, MARTYR IN EGYPT, With other Christians, he retreated into the wilderness to escape the persecutions of Diocletian, but was betrayed to the authorities by a beggar he had helped. Martyr. Died. drowned in the River Nile in Egypt c.307; Mar.13
St. Ramirus and Companions, Roman catholic Martyrs of Spain. Ramirus served as prior of St. Claudus Monastety in Leon, Spain. The community was set upon by the Visigoths who, as Arians, opposed orthodox Christianity. The abbot, St Vincent, was put to death, followed two days later by Ramirus and the entire community. Feastday Mar. 13
ST. LEANDER, BISHOP OF SEVILLE, Leander was born at Cartagena, Spain, of Severianus and Theodora, illustrious for their virtue. St. Isidore and Fulgentius, both bishops were his brothers, and his sister, Florentina, is also numbered among the saints. He became a monk at Seville and then the bishop of the See. Mar. 13 Bl. Agnello of Pisa. The founder of the English Franciscan province, Blessed Agnello, was admitted into the Order by St. Francis himself on the occasion of his sojourn in Pisa. He was sent to the Friary in Paris, of which he became the guardian, and in 1224, St. Francis appointed him to found an English province; at the time he was only a deacon. Eight others were selected to accompany him. True to the precepts of St. Francis, they had no money, and the monks of Fecamp paid their passage over to Dover. They made Canterbury their first stopping place, while Richard of Ingworth, Richard of Devon and two of the Italians went on to London to see where they could settle. It was the winter of 1224, and they must have suffered great discomfort, especially as their ordinary fare was bread and a little beer, which was so thick that it had to be diluted before they could swallow it. Nothing, however, dampened their spirits, and their simple piety, cheerfulness and enthusiasm soon won them many friends. They were able to produce a commendatory letter from Pope Honorius III, so that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Steven Langton, in announcing their arrival, said, "Some religious have come to me calling themselves penitents of the Order of Assisi, but I called them of the Order of the Apostles." In the meantime, Richard of Ingworth and his party had been well received in London and hired a dwelling on Cornhill. They were now ready to push on to Oxford, and Agnello came from Canterbury to take charge of the London settlement. Everywhere the Friars were received with enthusiasm, and Matthew Paris himself attests that Blessed Agnello was on familiar terms with King Henry III. Agnello is thought to have died at the age of forty-one, only eleven years after he landed at Dover, but his reputation for sanctity and prudence stood high amongst his fellows. It is stated that his zeal for poverty was so great that "he would never permit any ground to be enlarged or any house to be built except as inevitable necessity required." He was stern in resisting relaxations in the Rule, but his gentleness and tact led him to be chosen in 1233 to negotiate with the rebellious Earl Marshal. His health is said to have been undermined by his efforts in this cause and by a last painful journey to Italy. Opon his return he was seized with dysentery at Oxford and died there, after crying out for three days, "Come, Sweetest Jesus." The cult of Blessed Agnello was confirmed in 1892; his feast is observed in the Archdiocese of Birmingham today and by the Friars Minor on the eleventh.
St. Kevoca, 7th century. Scottish saint, honored in Kyle, Scotland. but now believed to be St. Mochoemoc. Also called Quivox.
St. Mochoemoc, 656 A.D. Abbot Founder of Liath Mochoemoc Monastery at Tipperary, Ireland. He was the son of Bevan and Nessa and the brother or nephew of St. Ita. Listed as Machaemhog, Puicherius, or Vuicherius, he was trained by St. Ita, at Munster, Ireland, and received ordination by St. Comgall at Bangor. Mochoemoc founded Arderin Abbey and others before he died.

Kate Moss And Naomi Campbell Steal Spotlight In Burberry FROW
Celebrities such as former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and supermodel Naomi Campbell are just two higher-profile sufferers of a situation that every single year affects two-in-3 females - foot discomfort. Naomi Campbell arrives at the party to celebrate re-opening of the Versace boutique on Fifth Avenue during Fashion Week in New York, Feb. 7, 2006. FRENCHKISSES Naomi Campbell arrives in May 2005 at the Legends Ball, an award ceremony hosted by Oprah Winfrey honoring females who paved the way in arts, entertainment and civil rights at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara, Calif. Campbell's profile in the style industry is higher ideal now than it has been considering that she ruled the catwalk two decades ago. As newly installed contributing editor of British Vogue, Campbell took an unmistakably potent seat in the front row of the Burberry show at London fashion week, among editor-in-chief Edward Enninful and Kate Moss, who is also on the Vogue masthead. At Paris style week, Campbell was snapped emerging from lunch at the Ritz with fellow supermodel and former French very first lady Carla Bruni. And on the Friday night of Milan style week she nearly broke the web in her metal-mesh Versace gown, as the central figure in the 5-powerful lineup of supermodels who joined Donatella for a catwalk tribute to her late brother. Along with Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks is one of the "black legends" of the Globe Fashion. African-American supermodel is the fifth angle of Victoria's Secret She holds the angle wings of the famous lingerie firm from 1997 to 2005. Following devoting 18 years for industry, Tyra is renown not only in style but also in tv, music, company and cinema. Becoming production director of the plan America's Subsequent Leading Model, she acted in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" film at the age of 20. Then, in parallel with modeling, she also played some supporting roles in a number of films such as "Appreciate stinks", "Larger Mastering", and "Halloween: Resurrection". Zoe in Coyote Ugly is only a minor role, but this is the most impressive part in acting profession of Tyra Banks. The Louis Vuitton business utilizes exceptional advertising ability by using larger profile actors and models utilized within their campaigns. The far more present instance of this was Scarlett Johansson and Uma Thurman, prior to them had been Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Christina Ricci and Jennifer Lopez, amongst other people. The LV business utilizes the print ads inside higher fashion magazines, along with billboards inside prominent cities. Social media changed everything, says Naomi Campbell, a single of the most prominent of the 1990s "supermodels". Throughout the interview, Campbell reminisced about the time she was nearly denied a French Vogue cover prior to designer Yves Saint Laurent stood up for her by threatening to pull marketing. Soon after walking the runway at final week's Versace show alongside fellow '90s supermodels, Naomi Campbell produced yet another catwalk cameo tonight at Off-White's Spring 2018 show in Paris. On Monday, the London-born stunner, who's been modeling considering the fact that the age of 15, donned a absolutely sheer ensemble, including a peekaboo bra, see-even though panties, and thigh-high tights, at the La Perla Atelier occasion at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild. Topping it all off with a lace trench cinched at her tiny waist, Campbell sashayed her toned, ageless body down the runway. In "Emily", The episode begins with Emily in Naomi's home, seeking at her girlfriend's photos. They are organizing a trip to Mexico right after college finishes. A package arrives containing a pair of goggles that Naomi has purchased for Emily, telling her not to ever neglect that she loves her. The couple utilizes Emily's moped and visits the Fitch property, exactly where Rob Fitch is cleaning out the garage. Emily talks to her mother, Jenna Fitch who insist they have a conversation about Emily's future. Emily brushes her off, and rides off to Roundview college with Naomi- who launches Jenna a stinging parting shot. Campbell studied at Italia Conti Academy stage college and appeared in music videos for Bob Marley and Culture Club prior to signing with Synchro modeling agency at age 15. Her career rapidly took off. Just before her 16th birthday, Campbell fortuitously appeared on the cover of British Elle, following an additional model dropping out at the last minute. Naomi Campbell is led out of the Midtown North Police Precinct by police officers in New York City on March 30, 2006. Campbell was charged with second-degree assault for allegedly hitting her housekeeper in the head with a phone in the course of an argument in her Park Avenue apartment. According to police, Campbell's 41-year-old housekeeper received four stitches.
