Whatever next !

Yesterday I read in 20 Minutes about the spread of the Asian Tiger Mosquito in the Var ( Provence ). This needs watching because it is the mosquito that spreads dengue fever and west Nile 'flu amongst other things.

That was yesterday. This is today. Whatever can we expect tomorrow ? Elephants in les Landes ? Giraffes wobbling slowly through the vines ?

It's a great year for mosquitoes in the UK too. I don't think they carry any diseases yet but who knows...! By the way, we loved our 5 night stay in Paris and the French people(!!) Paris is surely be one of the most beautiful cities, if not the most beautiful city in Europe. Sadly I was bitten by a mosquito on the last night of our stay and it raised two monstrous lumps on my body. I caught it later and by the size of the blood spot, I think it drank a fingerful of blood!

I spent a happy afternoon in Paris en route to Bordeaux - wandering from the Arc de Triomphe, past the Trocadero, over the Seine, under the Eiffel Tower down to the Montparnasse Tower - a good viewpoint for looking out over the city.

It was long enough to come to the conclusion that Paris is really very smelly indeed.
