Le sentiment que l'histoire se répète...

About Me

I keep hoping that one day, I will wake to a world where all men are Humphrey Bogart or Cary Grant, with a cigar in one hand and stiff drink in the other. The women are all Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn-alikes and hold a cocktail in a gloved hand... A bit of an oddbod at sometimes, with a penchant for 60s French pop music. I love friends and family, knitting, brackets and quotes. And that's all there is to know. End.
