Désolée pour le retard, je suis débordée de travail avec mon Master’s qui finit bientôt. Comment était mon cher Paris?

Ça doit être prêt pour le 3 octobre – à ce moment là, j’aurai vraiment fini.
Bisous à toi aussi

15 000 mots? Goodness gracious!
Freedom of speech n’a pas de prix, et est “under growing threat everywhere…”
Mes compliments et bonne chance.
