I'm on the Eurostar. I used to always call it the Chunnel. When did it change? Was it ever called a 'Chunnel' or did I just make that up? Whatever the case, it is the super fast train that goes underwater from Paris to London and back and saves you all the hassle of checking in at an airport..blah blah blah. The reality is it kind of breaks up the monotony of day to day travel and makes me feel like I'm in an Agatha Christie movie.

I've included some pictures of the gang. Here you'll meet Joanne (our record compnay pal), Troy, Sharon and Susie. Oh...and me with some famous structure.

I've been listening to the Alanis album. I really love this song called 'so unsexy'. She has such a way with words. She's so brutally honest that it's dissarming. I'm really impressed she wrote everything and produced the whole darned thing. And she's playing guitar!! I've been travelling with mine on this promo trip trying to get through some chord charts. I may never take it all the way but it sure does look good with denim. Haha.

I have to say I had the most incredible time in Paris. I performed 3 acoutic songs at a club called VIP on the Champs ElysČes. I was very relaxed and feeling so happy. In fact, the last few weeks have been kind of gruelling so it was so great to find some beauty in Paris on a day off. It really is the city of love. I climbed the Eiffel Tower for the first time, and I've been coming to France for years. It was great to feel like a tourist. I then went to this perfume store called Diptyque that Alek K introduced me to years ago. They have these incredible conconctions based on age old formulas..some of which were worn by Alexander the Great. I was ill in Germany and Troy and Sharon looked after me so well that I bought them a little thank you gift there.

Saw Kylie at the Danish music awards and presented her with the song for best international hit. She's SO adorable. Did I make that clear? SO ADORABLE!!!

Well... that's probably it from me as we're pulling into the station.

more from me later... p.s Sweden March 6.. Have to say a huge thank you to all of the fans outside Pepsi Chart show yesterday in London. You guys were so sweet. I loved all the banners, cards, flowers and the effort you made to wish me well. I meant so much!

Love
