Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen

Is there really any other way to kick off Queen Elizabeth's jubilee? It's important to show the proper amount of respect for the royal family and nothing does it quite as well as the Pistols. Yesterday's Guardian had an interview with the Pistols front man, John Lydon that's worth a read.

After a very slow and delayed start to the season, Paris weather is finally amazing and about as good as it can get. Not too hot, not rainy, not cold. The upside of the slow start though is one of the best rose seasons that I've seen here. Rose bushes are packed with flowers this year and they're stunning.

My wall of hydrangeas is slowly building and should start blooming soon. Even the plants that looked like death a few months ago are coming around. I'm still not sure if they will all bloom but just see a leaf or two on one is a major development.
