Vacances d'hiver, la grippe etc.
13:40 Today is the start of the winter holidays and the children are off school for a fortnight. We had wondered about going away for one or two nights but it won't be possible. That will have to wait till April and the vacances de printemps after I come back from the UK.
For the vacances d'hiver people go skiing, generally to the Alps, and so there were warnings of really bad traffic in the Grenoble area. We had no problems over here.
Catrin came back from the UK with a bug - she quickly developed a kind of flu and she's been ill since Friday, poor thing. She finished the school term then retired to her bed.
Today is the disk transplant of the family computer. Even as I speak the free trial of Acronis True Image is downloading. 01net.com has helpful instructions, which you can find here:

17:55 well the cloning of the old disk is cooking away - for the second time. I usually find it takes two goes to get anything unusual to work in Windows - and I never know what I did differently the second time. It's either the way you hold your mouth, or it could be that Windows needs to be sure that you really mean it !
I think we could get away for a night or two if Catrin improves a lot and quick. She's up and about and more lively now. We'll see !
