The Eiffel tower us missing! I think it disappeared over the weekend. Not the real Eiffel tower, of course. If that went missing, you’d have learned about it long before now. Nor do I think that the citizens of France rely on me for their news. If my site was going to be the one to break the news about the Eiffel tower being missing, it would have to have lots more grunting and…. That’s enough of that sentence.

Basically, the small model of the Eiffel tower which I got in Paris has come off it’s keyring. I look at it from time to time – it cheers me up. But I looked for it in the cue in the bank earlier, and it wasn’t there. I remember getting it, given to me by a north African man selling them under the tower itself, as charlotte and I approached the famous landmark. Since then, I’d taken it everywhere with me. I suppose it was only a cheap little thing, but, like the badge, which is currently safe on my desk at home, it meant quite a bit to me.
