April in Paris?

Chestnuts in blossom?
Since Thursday, I have been sleeping, drinking juice, blowing my nose, sleeping etc. trying to get well from a mean cold. This is not what spring in Paris was supposed to be. A not so small comfort is that on Monday I finally bought "Da Vinci Code" - I must be the last one to read it. Anyway, I decided to get it en francais - and now I have had plenty of time to learn about the holy graal/sang royal as well as use the dictionary to learn word such as voûte-arch, lanière - thin strap, agenouillé - knelt. As soon as i am well, I'm off to Saint Sulpice to check out some suspicious stones.
