Institut Suédois, John Ajvide Lindqvist, Jenny and Elin

At 8.52 we left Châteauroux train station, heading towards Paris. Arriving 10.52.
Got the keys to cousin Hervé's appartment.
Leaving our bagage there and then wandering around Paris this sunny, somewhat windy afternoon.
Have they cleaned up some parts of the town?
Lunching at a Japanese restaurant, talking Chinese with the waiter.

A visit to SI (L'Institut Suédois), getting tickets to the event this evening=The film 'Låt den rätte komma in' ('Morse' en français and 'Let the Right One In' in English) by Tomas Alfredsson and a discussion with the author John Ajvide Lindqvist.

Then followed a rendez-vous with my charming first cousins once removed Jenny and Elin both of them living and working in Paris, one having lived here for ten, the other for fifteen years.
Jenny works as a make-up artist within the couture industry, Elin as a designer of clothes. Both doing very well within their domains.
This is the first time I meet my first cousins... - ever!
Aurore and I spent two very nice hours with them!

After this back to SI with questions, answers and magic with and a signature by John Ajvide Lindqvist (below) and a dinner with cousin Hervé and friends ending at 01.30.
