Very much enjoyed reading of the pie incident. I would have done the same.
"Aggressively French" is a great saying.
For a moment, I totally thought the picture behind the honey man was actually the backdrop.
"the longer I don’t write it, the more shame I feel about being late to write it, and then when I think about writing it I think not about the writing, but the accumulating pile of shame." -- don't worry, I feel *exactly* the same with my own writing of late!
Happy Birthday!!!! This letter was worth the wait!!“
One friend described the location as ‘aggressively French’.” Great description! LOL!!!
The waterside restaurant, a long and low building with red awnings, traditional red-and-white chequered tablecloths and a huge, slightly disconcerting, cutout of a chef on the roof…
“Non madame !,” she interjected, “you will get the strawberry tart. You will see — it is une tuerie” (killer/ a killing).” Soooooo funny!!!
“Oh, it’s you that made this CARNAGE!?” EVEN FUNNIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Les Halles” Le Ventre de Paris
“Happy honey man. NB: His backdrop of the sea is a poster, but the nearby sea does actually look like this” Nota Bene! Well played, Hannah!! That makes a corner office overlooking Central Park look pitiful. Simply magnificent!
“If that’s not happiness, then it certainly looks a lot like it” I might paraphrase a line from the movie, “His Girl Friday”: “If that’s not happiness, it’ll do until happiness comes along.”
“You should apparently spray perfume on the backs of your knees to leave a fragrant wake(!), and…” WOW!! That woke up the ghosts!
I remember the PenFriend letter where you 1st mentioned rentrée!
Your sketches in this are wonderful and some of your best!!
Happy birthday, Hannah!
