Serge le Lapin du RATP

T and C got me this mug of Serge, who figures on stickers on the Paris Metro warning people not to get their fingers caught in the closing doors. More about him here (in French). We have a shortage of mugs here and those we have are kind of ugly, so I'm really enjoying this thoughtful gift! 

I`m back-blipping as this was a busy day with grading, and evening meetings for me and for J. I did a run in parc André Citroen in the morning and spotted the flowering trees that J photographed earlier this week. Flowering trees in January - very hard to imagine for us Canadians!
