onions on the carpet

i'm high on costa mocha coffee and too much sleep over the last couple of days. this heightened my senses which therefore meant that

i was walking home from camden just now and suddenly the whiff of spring hit my nostrils

the scent of newly blooming flora, damp air, white-flowered trees decorating the avenues, sporadic droplets of water dipping in to the pavement.. bliss

i really like living where i'm living at the moment. such a calm peaceful neighbourhood, stone's throw away from camden, good bus transport links..

but we're in the midst of negotiating with the landlord/agency about summer rent etc and we might end up moving out. i hope it doesn't come to that

in other news, people power has won in france. i'm not sure that's gonna help the french economy in any way.. had a brief but interesting conversation with the frog about the eu and immigration into france because of the lifting of borders etc and what emerged was a pretty bleak picture

it's all good to study scholarly speculation in the form of academic books for exams but then it's so much more interesting to examine what's happening here and now
