It was a relaxing Sunday morning on
avenue de Ségur.It was such a tranquil neighborhood over here although in the
big city.We were not disturbed by any noise of vehicle movement at all.If I had
been there alone,I would have missed perhaps the singing birds from my backyard
in Heerlen.But right here friends and I could really make perfect singing
birds ourselves.

We,I mean Patty, Gigi (a friend who
flew from Bangkok to join our trip and arrived in Paris a few days earlier than
me) and I, were up and had already breakfast when Gille (Patty’s husband) got
up.We kept Jill company while he was having breakfast.Jill had had a bit
difficulty with walking already since a few weeks ago.He was at the clinic for check up
and x-ray,unfortunately the doctor couldn’t find out what was going on with his left leg where he had complaint.There
would be another check up by orthopedist upcoming week.
There was quite something going on
after breakfast. Actually,we had had no other plan than to go picnicking with
other old friends from nearby neighborhood in the afternoon that day. But all
in a sudden,I got a surprised message from an old friend who used to live in
Paris,now living in Senegal.Via social media’s,she knew I was there.And she, on
that day,by coincidence, was in Paris as well. She was flying from Senegal to
Thailand via Paris,but the flight from Paris to Bangkok was postponed to the
other day.So while she was there, she would love to come and meet me and she
did it.

After half an hour,she was at
Patty’s. We went to market for some vegetables,fruits and foods and made simple
lunch.

| Git some vegetables and baguettes... |
 |
| We needed some rice,so why not try this ! |
 |
| And we made some salad too |
Later in the afternoon,we walked
towards Eiffel tower for picknick.It was lovely sunny afternoon.People were
sitting on grass and enjoying sunshine everywhere.We had bottles of wine, some
Parisienne baguettes and some fruits-salad with us,that’s more than sufficient.

| Met old friends in Paris |
Soon after we arrived at the lawn in
front of the Eiffel,other old friends from nearby areas came.We were always
surrounded with the laugh of joy and the smile of friendliness.It was cozy
afternoon.That reminded me of our old uni-time when we were young and still
single. Every time we met,we were recharged as well as rejuvenated.I was not
exaggerating.This was a supreme meeting of old friends I would hardly forget.
