Re:

I am around for a few hours only : I go to London this afternoon and will be back tomorrow. How long are you staying in Paris?

I'm having lunch with an old friend of mine and also a good friend of Terje's: he is the French ambassador in NY, to the UN, and despite the title he is a very vivid and enjoyable chap.

Otherwise I can find you other people

Thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it — and coming from you, indeed it's very special.

Happy to plan on tomorrow or Friday —

i can meet with arianic sarkozy, putin, as long as it is interesting
