Paris in Christmas Blues and Yellows

The world seems so tense these days. I have already declared my New Year's Resolution to "Not be so pissy."I think it's cancer trauma. While you're going through it, you have too many appointments, treatments and side effects to address. No time for emotion. Once it's done, whaaaaaa!!!! The tears and anger seep out.By the way, update: All the treatments are done. YA! Let's assume I'm cancer free. My hair is growing back. I have short hair for the first time since I was in Grade Two. I don't even know what to do with it. It's a bit... Wolverine.While we are all feeling the effects of World Anger, let's just give ourselves a salve of pretty Paris pictures. This time, blues and yellows.Sparkly round lights, a yellow car and an azure blue sky. Paris is very good at colour wheel theory.Perhaps not so pretty, but interesting to take an early morning walk and see all the loading and unloading. I wonder if those potatoes were to become fries alongside steaks. This is right outside my front door on rue Mouffetard. The windows are just as lovely on the outside as they are inside St. Médard church.Gotta love a Paris café diner cup and saucer. I think I have photos of every colour combination. After coffee, naturally...Unless you go here, where they are notoriously grumpy...I even wrote nice things about his café for a paper in Montreal at one point in time. But the photo is nice and I like the neon sign against the blue shutters.Why is graffiti so hard to read at times? Why must one be indecipherable when tagging? Here's some graffiti that is more straightforward...Found this cute couple in the 13th. I rarely walk around the 13th. Much of it is a monument to questionable architectural decisions, but the graffiti is nice and is updated often. There must be a lot of painting happening in the middle of the night in the 13th.The 13th. Ugh. But look... blue shirt stranger showing up for my photo theme. Thanks guy.I believe this is right outside Hemingway's door. I'd like to think he used this box to post his letters and stories. The boxes have been updated so I doubt it, but wouldn't that be grand? Book business sent from THIS box?!?!?!?Since the time changed, it gets dark earlier in the day, so a late night stroll for nice azure blue and yellow can happen before dinner.I'm told this bit of a church is haunted by Nicolas Flamel, of Harry Potter fame. I'm not sure this is accurate. I was walking around with the ultimate Harry Potter fan at the time so I think revisionist history was at play. I just like the colour combination.Another beautifully lit church against an azure sky. St. Moustache... err, I mean St. Eustache.I love it when I'm looking for a blue and yellow theme, and some stranger turns on the TV just as I walk by. Thanks stranger.These candies are fine but the packaging is fantastic. These containers keep kicking around the house long after the candy is gone. They are perfect pretty holders for my hair pins... that I hope to use again when my hair is longer.I like to think of this little graffiti man to be the Mary Poppins of the mail. A little angel sending letters on their way.
