Eee it's cold !
It got down to -3°C last night and at present it's supposed to be about 1° outside. We're making inroads on our wood pile and stoking the stove.
Meanwhile a homeless person died last night right in the centre of town near the Cathedral. He was sleeping on a piece of cardboard in the doorway of the Maison des Associations. They'll do a post-mortem to try to establish the cause of death. Meanwhile the Plan Grand Froid (Big Cold Plan) has been in action for some time, even though the legal threshold for activating it hasn't yet been crossed (i.e. remaining below zero all day). It's supposed to get warmer and wetter from Friday.
Well this week has been quieter than last week ! We have our English Class Christmas Extravaganza this evening and I am at present not sure what's happening on Thursday. Tomorrow is the student centre AGM and I stay and work at centre FAC on reception for the afternoon, though with exams and stuff I anticipate being able to work on messages for Sunday - twice in French.
And Gwilym is on work experience at Pessac's most prestigious tourist venue, the Chateau Pape Clément. He said today was crazy with loads of orders of wine for Christmas, he was on the phone, hunting down orders and generally being very useful - especially with clients from Britain. The poor lad's come home bushed ! "Why did I say I'd go there rather than the mairie ?", he said with a smile.
