Bonjour, Katie.

Bonjour. Get you in your lingo.

I know. I just thought it'd make you feel a bit more at home, seeing Get you in your lingo. I know.

I just thought it'd make you feel a bit more at home,

seeing as you've made it back to France.

Ah, back on the continent at last.

It is good to be back.

I've got access to proper bread again.

A pan of chocolate this morning.

All as well in the world.

It's good.

I will say one thing, though, about returning to Paris in the time of coronavirus.

You know how I often complain about how, despite being a very beautiful city that I love very much,

Paris does sometimes smell like wee-wee in the summer? Yes. So like imagine combining that with wearing a mask.

It's just like, it's not the whole city, it's just Cardinot, but we arrived and I took

this big first lung full of Parisian air expecting it to be really nice and this wee-wee smile

just got stuck in my mask and it was a wonderful welcome back.

Maybe you need a better mask, maybe you need to get one of those like a gas mask.

Full-on gas mask. It seems like slight overkill. But no, it is very, very wonderful to be back here.

But you've also been travelling this week, haven't you, for the first time? Yeah, I went on a little

weekend holiday to Ghent, which maybe sounds wild to you, depending on where in the world you are right now.

But that is actually officially allowed now between the Netherlands and Belgium.
