Dear Friends,

Happy Saturday. I write this still damp from a sudden downpour, and content after a most delicious meal of Korean food. Thus concludes the second week in Paris. I have continued to consume many croissants. I tried to branch out from Pan Au Chocolate and regretted it sorely. The Pan Au Chocolate is divine.

Attached to this you will find my morning pages (purged of the more embarrassing and personal content) from this week. . I looked back on my pages last week and realised that my transcriptions left something to be desired. Ah well! I present them without editorial and without apology, I am trepidatious to see what they say— I remember a fair bit of scribbling about Robinson, again.

Here we go!
