Oh Petit Palais

Tomorrow, I have to give a 20 minute presentation at the Musee du Petit Palais on 'L'Annonciation' by Bartolomeo della Gatta. Beautiful painting, shame about my language skills.
I can't believe that we've been in Avignon for 6 months or so and that now, unfortunately, it's time to leave. This city holds so many memories now - good times and not such good times. I really thought that leaving London would be a huge deal for me as I have never lived in a small town (40'000 people). Obviously I miss certain aspects of London - my friends, international cuisine, shopping and of course the fact that London is simply just London...
Also,I can't stand moving. It was bad enough packing up my life into cardboard boxes - living with a limited choice of outfits is very tough! But... now I have to start doing it again (throwing away little bits of crap I've managed to accumulate during my time here etc.) And then, unpack again in Vienna (if we ever find a house!)only to get settled in again... but I'm not going to complain too much - I will have lived in 2 different countries, experienced two different cultures and then... I get to go back to my comfort zone again. Not too bad really.
Of course, there will also be the much anticipated trip to Vietnam. A quick visit to Switzerland, but not before we go to the Haribo factory and the Pont du Gard this weekend! :-)
